All of their dishes are simmered or cooked to perfection, encompassing chicken, lamb, beef, goat, seafood, and lots of Tandoori and vegetarian plates. Appetizers include the Spinach Pakoras, fresh spinach fritters deep fried in chickpea batter, and the vegan Papadam, a thin, crispy lentil wafer flavored with Indian spices. If you’re in the mood for a wrap, try the Tandoori shrimp with garbanzo beans and herbs or the ground lamb kabab, also with garbanzo beans and herbs. This is only the delicious beginning!
