Restaurant review: Bindaas Bar + Kitchen, Central adds spice to life

Cuisine: modern Indian street food

Price: about HK$390 without drinks or the service charge

Ambience: lively and crowded. Tables are very close together.

Pros: the servers were friendly and the dishes were served at a good pace, rather than all at once.

Cons: some of the flavours seemed toned down. We liked the taste of the fish tawa fry (HK$128) but the fish was overcooked. Mutton shami kebab (HK$148) was nice and meaty, but needed a bit more seasoning, and the patties would have been better if they’d been browned more. The prawn and coconut milk curry (HK$168) was served after the vindaloo (see below) and seemed bland in comparison, tasting just of coconut milk and a bit of turmeric.
