MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Large windows and a navy-and-white palette set a distinctly modern tone at the appropriately named Indian bistro. This is a far cry from your everyday curry house and a great deal of care is taken to coax each dish with distinctive flavors. Spices are ground on the premises—while you wait, read about their health benefits in the guide on the back of the menu.
The chef-driven menu is at once traditional and contemporary. Don't overlook the inventive drinks, whether spirit based or alcohol free, like the Tiger's Tail, a mocktail made with blood orange, turmeric, and chili water. Naan here is a cut above the norm, as in the wild mushroom with a hint of truffle. The use of ace ingredients shines through in the elegant, rich and flavorful paneer lajawab.
