Western Cape Indian restaurant in Western Cape

This vibrant, modern Indian restaurant is located the middle of the city's entertainment hub, on the unique strip called Long Street. Before you walk in you will find the flavours and aromas wafting past you a convincing invitation. Indian chefs prepare authentic, predominantly North Indian dishes. Some must-try starters are mushrooms grilled in the real tandoori oven and marinated cottage cheese skewers called paneer sashlik. The succulent prawns in cumin, mustard and tomato sauce are always recommended. A hot vindaloo with chicken or lamb provides an explosion of flavours and an experience you certainly will remember. For the 'faint of spice' there are a variety of kormas, madras curries and even a great dhal makhani. The clean, classy and modern interior sits in beautiful juxtaposition with the detailed, intense flavours of the dishes. Here you will be spoilt for choice.
