1. Mint Leaf of London's thali
We love this colourfully beautiful dish. Served on a round platter with tasting portions of various vegetarian or non-vegetarian signature dishes, including Palak Paneer or the signature dish of Kashmiri cuisine, the delicious Lamb Rogan Josh, tender braised lamb cooked with a gravy based on onions or shallots, yoghurt, garlic, ginger complemented by aromatic spices such as cloves, bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon. This dish is part of the Mint Leaf of London’s business dinner.

2. The Rose and Crowns chicken tikka masala
This newly opened British pub makes a mean chicken tikka masala that is bright orange and wonderfully creamy. Great spot to celebrate Indian Independence Day, especially if you’re into board games and billiard.

5. Zafran's sophisticated bistro food
Zafran is a super cool Indian bistro with deliciously aromatic Indian cuisine. Their Papdi Chaat is an Indian favourite and eaten as a quick flavourful snack. It is a mix of crispy flour pastries, spiced mashed potato and sweet yoghurt finished off with tamarind and mint chutneys. We love this colourful dish.

6. Ravi's awesome street style food
Great food doesn’t have to cost a lot at all. So if you are into street food, forget the fancy spots and head to Ravi in Al Barsha and Satwa. Just try the chicken mughlai at Ravi's.

7. Sangeetha’s unbelievable dosa
If you love a good Dosa, then Sangeethas is a great place to tuck in. These deliciously crispy South Indian pancakes are perfect on their own with some ghee. Feeling a little peckish? Then ask for your dosa filled with potato masala. We are salivating in our seats.
