Don’t
let the small restaurant fool you—this place has huge
flavor. The walls are pepto pink (a foreshadowing of
the medicine you may need later), while tacky
chandeliers and fake plants hang from above. Thank
goodness that their authentic Indian cuisine more
than makes up for the lousy interior decorating.
Nawab is a three-time winner (in 2000, 2001 and 2002)
of
Lehigh Valley Magazine’s
“Best in the Valley—Indian Restaurant Award.” (Okay,
it’s not a Nobel Prize, but it’s gotta count for
something, right?) Start with samosas, then try lamb
rogam josh for a spicy challenge (order plenty of
nan—bread—to relieve your taste buds), or the chicken
tikka masala for something milder. Vegetarians, don’t
despair: There are plenty of meat-free meals, tasty
enough even for carnivores. Be sure to bring your ID
(students get 15% off lunches and dinners). (Open
M-Th 11:30a-3p, 5p-10p; F 11:30a-3p, 5p-11p; Su
11:30a-9:30p.)
