Colonial India
The reason for the title comes from the decor inside the restaurant where you can almost feel the Colonial influence the moment you walk in. It just oozes of the olden days, times gone past. Far from Urban Chic and latest design techniques, this place has a soul.
I am no expert on Indian food, far from it but have to say that the dishes I was served (and the food I tasted from my co diners' plates) was delicious. I particularly liked a starter called "Palak Pakodi Chaat". It is a fairly big plate of Large spinach leaves, coated with a thin gram flour batter, deep fried to make crisp spinach pakodas which are topped with sweet chutney and yoghurt and sprinkled with roasted cumin powder. Simply divine.
The Service was very attentive without being over the top. The waiters Maitre D and chefs were all very friendly. I will definitely be going again to try out the rest of the menu.
