Kiran Continental Indian Cuisine is an old-school Chambers Street spot serving straightforward Northern Indian standards and value-focused lunch plates. The space is basic and a bit worn, but downtown regulars still use it for quick chicken tikka, curries, and bread when they want Indian without leaving the immediate Civic Center blocks.

Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Garlic Naan
