IMPULSE BY THE SEA

BEST FOR Authentic Indian cuisine with no frills or fuss. FOOD This family restaurant has consistently served authentic Indian cuisine for over 20 years. Start by snacking on the potato or mince samoosas; they’re light, crispy and packed with flavour. Light meals include bunny chow or roti rolls generously filled with chicken, lamb or bean curry. The real heroes are the curries, all flavourful and served with rice, sambals and poppadoms. The signature prawn curry is delicious, a generous portion packed with plump prawns in a spicy tomato-based sauce, served at your table in a traditional angithi food warmer. The chicken tikka is tender and flavourful, grilled in chilli spice. Soji makes a delicious dessert, with a heady scent of cardamom and a sprinkle of almonds with cream.

DRINKS There's a concise menu including wine and spirits. SERVICE Friendly and helpful, but can be rather haphazard. AMBIENCE The décor is dated, but the food is what you’re there for. (NA)
