Tangra Asian Fusion Cuisine opened in late-September, and according to Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld is the much-larger branch of Tangra Masala at 8709 Grand Avernue in Elmhurst (menu here) … Chef-partner Peter Lo is no relation to Peter Lo of A Guy In New York …
This is a big place, and the food is excellent …

the Okra Tangra Masala is a truly outstanding dish …

Tangra Restaurant : popcorn chicken is very popular (every table we saw ordered it), but we thought it was just OK – too much cornstarch

Tangra Restaurant : salt shrimp was excellent

Tangra Restaurant : puffs

Tangra Restaurant : Tangra Masala lamb was also excellent

Tangra Restaurant : spicey green beans were very good

When we left at 10:00 pm or so on a weekday night, large Indian families were still coming in, a real testament to the popularity of Tangra … conveniently located just across the street from the 40th St./Lowery St. stop on the 7 train.
A mneu from the original Tangra in Elmhust is available from the BridgeandTunnelClub
