Paying for the Scene. Harry scores Dhamaka 74/100 for quality and 71/100 on the Worth It scale for New York. One caveat: Google's into it. Tripadvisor isn't. Locals are louder here.
The editorial case for Dhamaka is about as strong as it gets for an Indian restaurant in New York: NYT's 100 Best, a Bib Gourmand, and a 50 Best Discovery nod, all pointing the same direction. The public numbers mostly agree, with Google's 4.5 across a real sample of 3,713 reviews backing up the hype. Yelp slipping to 4.1 and Tripadvisor down at 3.5 are worth noting, but that Tripadvisor figure is drawn from just 22 reviews, too thin to argue against the weight of everything else here.
