Shipman's favorite Albuquerque Indian restaurants

Indian is my favorite cuisine, and Albuquerque is blessed with many fine offerings. I give the edge to India Palace, with Rasoi a close second, but several discerning friends of mine prefer India Kitchen or Taj Mahal, so I'd say it's a tight race. They're all quite good. Taaj Palace has been open since 2008 but I just discovered it in Spring 2011; based on one visit, it's a contender.

• India Palace****
• Rasoi***, 110 Yale Blvd SE. The newest really good Indian place. Huge menu, some South Indian specialties, nice room. See their official page.
• Taaj Palace***, 1435 Eubank (west side of the street, just north of Constitution, in the old Cafe Miche space). Confusing name, great food, generous with meats and portions generally.
• India Kitchen***, near Assets Grill on the southwest corner of Louisiana and Montgomery. Excellent vegetarian, good meat dishes too.
• Taj Mahal***, east side of Carlisle a little ways south of I-40. Good all around.
• Annapurna***, east side of Yale just north of Lead. Ayurvedic menu, excellent for strict vegans and vegetarians. Good selection of Southern Indian dishes; try the masala dosa.
