Medina, located at 210 first avenue between 12 th and 13 th st. serves up cafeteria style preprepared food in a modest setting. A variety of South Asian dishes are on the menu and when i was there as part of my feed me NY project, Rahman was kind enough to let me try the chicken tikka masala with rice, spinach, cabage, green beans. A nice salad came with it as did a dressing mixed with mint and yogurt.
I started with a vegetable samosa which as far as samosa's go, could be a runner up in a samosa competition. And by this, i mean i liked it. Seeing as it is counter food, hotness is not guaranteed. Microwaving the entire dish is a good idea.
There was an abundance of lovely orange colored mango lassis in the fridge which i unfortunately did not sample. A mango lassi is like the indian equivalent of a mango smoothie.
The one dish i was looking for, butter chicken, they did not have. But my main dish was flavored with a variety of very mild spices and if you want something fast, you can probably find something at Medina.
The nan bread compared to most nan i've had. It is simply yummy. It is ironic that i forgot to order it and was reminded when other customers ordered it. Muhammad was sweet enough to prepare it for me.
I heart nan!
