Looking for a posh curry? You need to get to @kanishkamayfair “raita”way 😍 {gifted}
With stylish decor and fancy food from the North East ‘sister states’ of India, this is one of my new fave Indian spots. It’s a tad overpriced but the food is fantastic! 🥰 Here’s what we ate:
🌱Grilled aubergine filled w/ smoked aub, tamarind & coconut sauce
💭Stunning! The sauce was delish, the aub soft & light and it had some nice tangy flavours
💰£18
🤷🏼♀️Order again? Yes
🏆Fave dish
🌱Samosa chaat – Pea & potato samosas w/ tamarind chutney
💭 This is sweet, sticky, tangy, zesty & spicy with a burst of juiciness from the pomegranate & crunch from the samosa. Beaut!
💰£12
🤷🏼♀️Order again? Yes
🏆Fave dish
🌱Saag aloo – masala potato in spinach sauce
💭 I’m still dreaming of this. A saag aloo is my “go to” and this was excellent. The potatoes are super fluffy and its all so buttery & creamy that it just melts in your mouth. Love the hint of ginger!
💰£18
🤷🏼♀️Order again? Yes
🏆Fave dish
🌱Cauliflower mattar bhaji w/ pickled onions
💭 Tasty! The pickled onions add a new level to a familiar dish. It’s milder and more subtle in flavour but I liked it
💰£18
🤷🏼♀️Order again? Yes
🌱Tofu & jackfruit chilli stir fry w/ bok choi & spring onions
💭This had some lovely spicy flavours & the texture of the jackfruit was great. A good dish but not the best one
💰£12
🤷🏼♀️Order again? No
🌱Yellow dal (+ basmati rice)
💭This had a hint of sweetness & was quite garlicky but needed to pack more of a punch. Rice is perfect!
💰£8 (+£4)
🤷🏼♀️Order again? No
🌱Gangtok momo – steamed dumplings of seasonal veg w/ tomato chutney
💭 Some of the best I’ve had! Packef to the brim with beaut flavours and a lovely heat
💰£14
🤷🏼♀️Order again? Yes
