Kasturi

Terrific find in London. I have eaten at a number of Indian/Asian places and this has exceeded my expectations in many categories.

I have been there over 5 times now and each time I order one or two items from the menu that I have not tried before and am never let down. It is lovely to be at a restaurant in which each dish is consistently flavourful and expertly done.

The attention and commitment to freshness and flavour is apparent even in the sauces that are served with the starters - a lovely fruit and mint sauce and a tangy tomato based gem. Not to mention that the lamb chop starter is truly lamb - not mutton as is frequently served in most places under the guise and price of lamb.

The service is friendly and efficient without leaving me feeling rushed. All questions I have regarding the menu and cuisine are happily answered and the manager seems to remember my favourite dishes from the previous visit. I am definitely addicted to the okra. Spicey and crisp! The paneer is a treat as well. Stuffed with lovely herbs and nicely grilled on the outside...oh no I am getting a craving right now...

I would suggest a trip to Kasturi will be well worth it. oh and by the way, great wine list for the size and scope of the restaurant.
