www.venetianmacao.com Golden Peacock still very much sets the standard for Indian cuisine in the city, with its confident spicing and searing hot tandoors turning out intensely flavoured yet elegantly presented cooking. The dinner menu is rich with beautifully presented dishes with their intricate, balanced blend of spices—West Bengal mustard oil adding potency to homemade cottage, organic spinach, corn and green peas in the paneer palak melony; cumin and coriander seed lending their citrus-like zing to young okra; or pungent asafoetida (the devil’s spice) giving that extra edge to hing dal tadka, a-swirl with clarified butter. The lunchtime buffet is a great way to sample more of their more homestyle offerings, such as bright Goan prawn curry with kokum and coconut milk, or unctuous gosht sagwala—lamb cooked down in spinach puree with tomato, onion and fenugreek leaves. Service shines with attentive waiters who work the room of families and couples with efficiency.
