Description:
This is our favorite Indian restaurant in London, where the competition is stiff. It's cheerfully housed in a landmark Victorian hall near Tower Bridge, just east of the Tower of London. The Parsi chef, Cyrus Todiwala, concentrates on southern and northern Indian dishes, with a strong Portuguese influence. Chicken and lamb are prepared a number of ways, from mild to spicy-hot. As a novelty, Todiwala occasionally even offers a menu of emu dishes; when marinated, the meat is rich and spicy and evocative of lamb. Emu is not the only dining oddity here. Ever have ostrich gizzard kebab, alligator tikka, or minced moose, bison, or blue boar? Many patrons journey here just for the complex chicken curry known as xacutti. Lambs' livers and kidneys are also cooked in the tandoor.

Modest Indian food
-
Starters with papadam with apple pickle & pear chutney were fabulous. Not too many options for vegetarians as with most Indian restaurants in London. Curries were far to bland for...
