The coast of southwest India provides the kitchen with most of its influences and the interesting menu is full of vibrant, exciting dishes, ranging from the playful – try their own mini version of ‘fish and chips’ as a starter – to the original: the succulent guinea fowl comes with lentils, fennel seed and star anise. However, the undoubted star of the show is a version of the dish made famous by the original Trishna in Mumbai: brown crab, in this case from Dorset, comes with lots of butter and a little kick of wild garlic; it is so wondrously rich you’ll be licking your lips for days afterwards. The various tasting menus often provide the most rounded experience but all the dishes are as fresh tasting and beautifully spiced as they are colourful. Much thought has also gone into matching wines with specific dishes.
