Hot Off the Grill

The kitchen mostly sticks to mainstream North Indian offerings,with chicken tikkas,mutton seek and spicy versions of potatoes and paneer. “We offer a few continental and oriental dishes as well. When we started the restaurant a month ago,the concept was to offer grills from different cuisines but people stuck to the spicy Indian versions. So now,we have reduced the number of other dishes and focus on north Indian fare,” says owner Jasmeet Singh Banga. However,it is in seafood that the restaurant really comes into its own. The tandoori prawns and crispy fried fish were not just value for money,but also delicious surprises. Even the prawn popadums were munchy and delightful on a rainy day.

Once you take a seat,a live grill is tucked in the centre of the table and a selection of meat and vegetable (depending on the day’s menu) arrives on skewers. Add your choice of dressing and these are ready to be forked onto your plate. The grill serving are unlimited and it was only the temptation of the main course buffet that forced us to stop refilling our plates. Our meal started with hefty cuts of Achaari Murg,cooked with a generous and refreshing dose of fennel. The tandoori prawns were fresh and we brushed the curls with a soft butter dressing. The mutton seekh could be flavoured with yellow or red chili— both versions turned out to be delectable.

The menu has a decent vegetarian selection. There were stuffed mushrooms,that would have benefited from a longer stay on the grills,pellets of spicy fried potatoes served with fiery red chutney,and even sautéed pok choy and crispy vegetable pouches.

The seekh kebabs and buttery curries were clearly a notch better than the Thai curries and dimsums. Trust the desi palate!
