There are a few:
There are two areas that are filled with Indian restaurants. One is East 6th Street between First and Second Ave, where there is is over a dozen places and the other is Lexington Avenue in the 20's.
Brick Lane, East 6th Street named after the Indian section of London has a fabulous buffet lunch value. It is constantly attended to, they bring fresh hot paratha to the table and they are attentive
Banjara and Haveli near East 6th Street-One step up from the others, but the food is well prepared
-----
On Lexington Ave.
Saravanaas
Fabulous Dosas-always packed with student and workers

And while you are there you might like to stop at Kalustyans where they have a wide variety of Indian and mideastern spices and Indian provisions.

One of my favs in the city is Kismat, ok, it's a bit of a hike uptown, but the food is so good. I actually had one of the best meals of my life there, salmon over vegies, steamed in an amazing sauce, and oh SO GOOD. And very reasonable pricing too.
If you like bread their breads are great too.
Kismat is located on Ft. Washington Ave, at 187th St, so here's an idea, come up to see the Cloisters, (take the A train up to 190th), visit the museum and then walk back to Ft. Washington, down to Kismat for dinner.
Have a lovely time while you are here.

I went to an Indian restaurant last week in "Curry Hill", the section of Lexington Avenue referenced above, and thought it was terrific, with an interesting menu. It is Dhaba, between 27th and 28th Streets. http://dhabanyc.com/

there is always Jackson Heights in Queens. Take the 7 train to Roosevelt /74th street station. Cross Roosevelt Ave. at 74th St. And you will be In the middle of The Indian neighborhood. There are many restaurants. Jackson Diner is probably the most well known.
Personally, I am a big fan of going to the outer boroughs. This is especially easy here as the 7 train can be picked up at times sq. or grand central and exit at Roosevelt station. just make sure you take the local and not the express (7 train).

There is now a Jackson Diner on University and 10th Street.
I agree there is great food in the boroughs, but unless someone is spending more than a week in NY, it is a long trip for a meal unless they are interested in ethnic neighborhoods in Queens or hispster spots (and many other things) in Brooklyn.

Minar in Midtown is delicious. The atmosphere is nothing to speak of - you order from a counter and they have some dishes prepared (almost buffet style) but it's reasonably priced and really really good. In fact, chef Mark Bittman recommended it in an in-flight magazine once!
