Pabla is a perennial favorite, and I've never had a bad meal there. Then again, I'm vegetarian and like spicy Indian food, so your mileage may vary. It's often very quiet there for dinner, which is matched by the demeanor of the friendly and unobtrusive wait staff. The food is good, the portion sizes are generous (Vegetable Biryani weighs in at about a pound or so), and the ambiance is traditional. My singular complaint is that it's not possible to get a beer at Pabla.
Pros: Food, Ambiance
Cons: No IPA, location
