Why go
Badshah Social is a smart Park Slope booking for a lively group dinner, date, or after-work night built around regional Indian sharing plates and spice-driven cocktails. Go for the à la carte format, tandoor dishes, chaat, and named anchors like Dum Biryani or Lamb Shank Nihari; skip it if the goal is a quiet tasting-menu experience.
