    My husband and I chose Baazi Indian Crusine Restaurant for our Anniversary on June 13th, 2026. We was a bit skeptical at first because we were the only patrons in the Restaurant. They were located on Broadway between 97th and 98th Street. Then I thought, it's because of the Knicks game, Soccer games, and the Puerto Rican Day Parade all happening this same weekend. Everyone was in the Time Square area. I much say we stayed for our dinner and they did not disappoint. The food was amazing, greatly seasoned, well proportion. I highly recommend this place.
