INDIAN SUMMER

BEST FOR A no-frills meal shared with friends or family. FOOD Start off with a spicy soup or salad and don't forget the fresh breads, all prepared on-site in the tandoor. An array of vegetable, seafood, chicken and lamb curries is on offer in various degrees of heat. The usual vindaloo, madras, korma and jalfrezi dishes dominate the menu, and sides are ordered separately. The gajar halwa dessert certainly sounds interesting: grated carrot pudding cooked in thickened milk, enriched with nuts and fresh cream. Other options include the Bombay Crush and kulfi. DRINKS A small selection of soft drinks, beer and wine, as well as traditional mango lassi. SERVICE Friendly and helpful. AMBIENCE On a pleasant evening, choose an outside table. (NJ)
