Editorial Review
A copper ceiling and sparkling light fixtures cast a romantic glow over this tiny jewel box of a restaurant—no wonder canoodling Queen Westers fill the room even on weeknights. Here, the food offers all the comfort of familiar Indian cooking along with a few innovations that aspire to the neo-Indian standard set by places like Amaya and Chakra. Eggplant bharta, for example, usually smoky and earthy, is refreshingly sweet and sour and sprinkled with roasted peanuts. The beef vindaloo comes as a nicely done grilled (not braised) steak daubed with a fiery tomato-based curry sauce. Sweet, addictive malai kofta dumplings have classic North Indian flavours but aren’t too heavy. The basmati and breads are terrific, but the desserts are disappointing. A Limca-gin cocktail takes expats back to Delhi. Mains $11–$15.
