The Best Restaurants in Irvington, by the Record

Mustard-yellow walls and hand-blown glass fixtures give this Indian bistro on Irvington's Main Street the feel of a neighborhood living room that happens to serve serious food. The menu leans into bold spice and local, organic produce, and the housemade mango chutney has its own quiet reputation. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which tracks: the room stays lively, the cooking is confident, and the tile-fronted bar fits one more than you'd expect.

An 18th-century building a block from the Hudson, fitted out with brass chandeliers and mahogany panels, is an unlikely setting for a modern Greek taverna, but Michael Psilakis makes it work. The menu runs family-style, starting with meze and moving through roasted meats and grilled sausage with orange peel. Call ahead if you want the whole roast animal; that one takes planning.
