There may be plenty of outside seating, but indoors at Kebab aur Sharab, the look is lavish. From the deep, rich colors and a sea-blue tiled wall to the intricate woodwork and wicker seating, this Upper West Side spot is especially transporting.  
A versatile menu offers snacks, small plates and main courses, all designed for sharing (though you may want to keep them to yourself). Do as the name suggests and order a kebab—the baby goat one is exceptional. Finely minced goat is formed around a skewer held together by thread, which is then unspooled tableside to deliver the juicy meat with just a whisper of spices and a hint of smokiness. Kerala fish curry is exquisitely spicy and does the Southern Indian classic proud.
