Bihari

Let me start by saying I absolutely love Indian food! I'm half Indian so I guess I was born with a bit of "spicyness". I've grown up with indian food and traditions so it is so wonderful to go to a restaurant with an authentic Indian feel and taste. I've eaten a lot of indian food and tried out lots of restaurants but Bihari still comes out on top!

I've been to Bihari on dates, with friends and for Sunday family lunches and if I haven't been for a while I start craving the delicious garlic naan with melted cheese inside and their garlic lamb tikka chops. What I love about Bihari is that they cater to people's different levels of hotness/spiciness. The waiters and waitresses are so knowledgeable and give great advice choosing something off the large menu.

These days restaurants no longer put little things on the table to munch on, such as bread, whilst waiting for the food unless you ask them but at Bihari you are welcomed with good service, paaperdoms, chutney, mint sauce and sambals (chopped tomato, onions and cucumber).

The menu is separated into categories which make it easy to read, might I add that their vegetarian dishes are plentiful. I recommend the mixed meat starter platter, garlic lamb tikka, afghani lamb chops, tandoori garlic prawns, coconut prawn curry and the chicken lababdar.
