Doaba Deli: Vegetarian Indian Food Until Midnight

Doaba Deli makes a case for keeping dinner simple, with home style vegetarian Indian dishes prepared by an older couple. Head to this tiny spot at 945 Columbus Avenue in Manhattan when you want the cooking to be the reason you stop. The setting is no frills, an invitation to leave the elaborate occasion planning for another meal. The doors open daily from 7 AM to midnight. You have room to arrive early, break up an afternoon, or eat after an evening out. Pick the part of the day that suits you, rather than building your plans around a narrow dinner window. Takeaway and online ordering give you another way to approach the meal. Order ahead when you already know what you want, or head over and make the choice there. Keep it as a small food stop in a day that already has enough on its agenda. For planning, check the listed hours and use the address on the card to time your visit.
