Indian Hut

SETTING

The restaurant’s sparkling white, brightly lit interior beckons diners to come in through its glass doors, where haunting Indian music plays in the background.

FOOD

Indian Hut offers northern Indian and Indian-Chinese cooking. The menu is extensive and divided into sections to make ordering easy. As soon as you are seated you are served warm pappadam, pickled shallots and mango chutney. Tandoori aloo, scooped potatoes stuffed with potato, raisins and cashew nuts mixed with green chilli and ground corriander, is a delicious starter and just one of the many vegetarian offerings on the menu. Kashmiri rogan josh comes highly recommended, as it should as the mutton is tender and permeated with the complex flavour and aroma of tradional masala, saffron and yoghurt. It is best enjoyed with rice, such as saffron pilau. From the tandoor oven is tandoori chicken, one of the most popular Indian dishes, and Indian Hut’s version does not disappoint. Jheenga tawa masala is a tawa hot plate dish of prawns cooked with a hint of royal cumin and will please lovers of the crustacean. Kulfi, Indian-style home-made ice cream garnished with pistachio nuts, provides a sweet ending to a good meal.
