WHO TO BRING Family and friends.
TURN-ONS The mulligatawny soup was a firm favourite. This ”English” soup from southern India features pulled chicken, celery and rice in a creamy coconut base – a delicious opener. The beef seekh kebab was another favourite. Made with ground beef chuck short ribs seasoned with green chillies, roasted cumin and grilled in the tandoor oven, the melt-in-the-mouth meat leaves a delicious spicy aftertaste.
Also worth applauding were the lamb chops marinated in xacuti spices; the tender meat and spices are a perfect match and should be on your must eat list. There were no disappointments with the curries either. The butter chicken was mild and creamy with plenty of chicken tikka in the tomato and butter gravy. We also liked the spinach curry.
