Image: You know a cocktail made an impact when you nab the recipe to make at home. I’ve been drinking the Bollywood Mojito ($10) combining Malibu, mint and soda all weekend, and it’s just one of the things I’d recommend at Amit Guha’s recently rebranded restaurant.
You know a cocktail made an impact when you nab the recipe to make at home. I’ve been drinking the Bollywood Mojito ($10) combining Malibu, mint and soda all weekend, and it’s just one of the things I’d recommend at Amit Guha’s recently re-branded restaurant. The bright room’s decor is Bollywood Indian Princess; there’s live entertainment every Friday and Saturday night and Bollywood movie clips on the flat screens. However it’s the Veal Pasanda ($25) that shines brightest! The dish shows off the chef’s fifteen years of five star hotel cooking with Taj Hotels by combining Indian flavours with French technique. It makes for magical mushrooms in excellent gravy that requires mopping via Garlic Roti ($3.50). The hung Harra Kebab ($9) spinach patties are the kind of vegetarian dish that can make even meat eaters sit up and pay attention – don’t miss them. Also order the Kasoori Lamb Cutlets ($13), my palate sang from their fresh, fragrant spicing. For dessert you’ll either love or hate the Rasmalai ($7) home-made cream cheese cakes in a rosewater and saffron sauce; it’s plated like a curry, and the sauce is a winner. This cleverly named restaurant is fun, flirty and group friendly.
