For tasty Indian food do not look further than this modest shop tucked into a side street near Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. Maharaja Sweet House besides specialising in Indian sweets and savouries is also known for serving pure vegetarian food. The specialities range from Northern Indian favourites to some South Indian staples like masala dosa and idlis.
Every time I feel a little nostalgic about India I take the J train to the E train and get off on the 74th street station in the borough of Queens. Browsing through video stores, checking out the latest Bollywood movies and listening to current soundtracks blaring through shop windows, staring at fellow Indians - are all a much desired past time when meandering through these streets.

I wanna go there though saying this, whenever I get nostalgic for Indian stuff I go to a cheap and cheerful place in the Raval barrio: stronghold of the immigrants here. My place does good ol' greasy cookin but it fills a hole plus with the subsequent indigestion I don't need to eat for a few days ....how I miss Indian food.
