Bombay Palace

WHY GO

Bombay Palace may have lost its "palace" after moving out of its previous premise, but this institution of northern Indian food hasn't lost its charm.

TATLER TIPS

Bombay Palace continues to serve a smorgasbord of lipsmacking Indian food and drinks. The menu boasts over 140 varieties, from chaats you'd find on the streets of Mumbai to tandoor-style grilled items and exquisite Punjabi dishes.

The chicken handi biryani impresses with its heavenly aroma, fluffy long grains and rich flavours. The machli masala is a delightful fish curry with the right amount of spice while the Kashmiri gosht roganjosh comes with tender lamb meat and rich thick gravy. Mop up the delicious gravies with fluffy garlic naan. For dessert, try the kesar pista kulfi, milky Indian ice cream flavoured with pistachio and saffron.
