If Indian is your thing this place is an absolute must! Atop a mall complex
this palatial, cavernous space showcases an impressive open kitchen that
rustles up authentic northern Indian fare. Deep red walls and dark furniture
add to the mystical charm of the dimly lit dining room that harks back to the
India of one thousand and one nights. And the food isn’t short on imagination
either! Delicious garlic nan bread starts the proceedings, which could include
a selection from the tandoor oven, along with a choice of curries. Lamb
marinated with yogurt and spices will please sensitive palates, and the chicken
tikka in tomato-and-cashew gravy is an enduring classic. Prawns come in several
guises: the spicy coconut curry with tamarind is a firm favorite. Service is
attentive, with an army of staff hanging on your every whim, always friendly
and eager to explain dishes and preparation methods.
