I have done extensive study and trials on this across the US lol as I live to eat. and I think most restaurants suck here but here are my favs to find some authentic dishes. Not every item is good but many are..

Junoon, NYC; Tandoori Grill, Costa Mesa; Lahori Karai, SFO, Awadh, NYC, Rasika, DC, Zareens, Palo Alto

Tier 2: tamarind, NYC, pav Bhaji @honest, Shalimar - SFO, Indian accent, Central Park, Naan Ching JC was a pleasant discovery. It’s the same owner as naanching. Had drinks with him yesterday, lol

PS I live in NYC area so know pretty much all restaurants in NYC-JC
