Went yesterday night for the first time w/ a friend. Is this the kind of stuff you can more easily find in London/England?
Very much enjoyed the refined and “unusual” (for me and for my Indian friend) spicing. Also liked that the stuff wasn’t swimming in ghee. Friend is veg, so I can’t comment on the tandoor stuff. This is a place I’d certainly return to, but it almost feels too “fancy” to put on our regular rotation.
Nutty eggplant, paneer and spinach kofta (paneer balls didn’t seem to have that much paneer in them), burned garlic raita, butter naan. I was wondering about the cumin cilantro rice but didn’t see @CiaoBob’s comment (so just ordered the plain rice).
Restaurant kindly gave us a sample of their saffron mousse (they’re considering adding it to the menu). It had a squirt of chocolate (which was nearly undetectable), and I still can only “see” shrimp when I eat saffron, so it didn’t work for me. My friend really liked it, though.
