It isn't just that these elegant
Indian restaurants are more attractive than most, though they
are. Or that they serve food that's very different from the general
run of Indian restaurants, though they do. They're a treat because
they serve familiar Indian dishes that taste better than you
knew they could.
Recommended appetizers include calamari sauteed
with a hint of coconut and lemon, ground-lamb kebabs flavored
with fresh cilantro and mint, and crisp potatoes with date chutney
and a minty yogurt sauce. Tandoori dishes are very good, and
the curries are superb--lamb vindaloo tangy with vinegar; Grouper
Jalfrezi with onions, tomatoes, and green peppers; Yakhani Gosht,
lamb simmered in yogurt and saffron. Vegetarians will be happy
with the luxurious saag paneer, fresh cheese in spinach; an unusual
mixture of eggplant and jalapeno peppers in a sesame sauce; and
delicious, creamy lentils.
