Buffet lunch for three (3) at Sapphire.

• Sapphire is the only Indian restaurant near Lincoln Center


• New York Magazine says of it, "The extensive menu includes the usual hit parade of samosas, curries, tandoori treats and even mulligatawny soup. But it also includes some sleepers like chutney idli, a small cake of steamed lentil and rice flour topped with a coconut curry. Spicier and just as good is kadhi pakoda, another appetizer. Chicken is unfailingly moist, tender and flavorful, especially the chicken Nizami, a masala dish with cashews, coconut and sesame seeds. Two breads deserve special mention, the nan stuffed with garlic and kulcha, and a soft flatbread baked in the tandoori oven, this one stuffed with crab meat. Sapphire has a pleasingly understated opulence, with ornately carved Mogul-period wooden doors and windows, brought over from Rajasthan, and embroidered panels of Jodhpur silk hung from the ceiling like small banners."
