But, it tasted good, so good that I unconsciously pretty much licked the bones when it was done. I just powered through it, hoping the Smoked Chilli Lamb Chops will save the day … but, no, the Smoked Chilli Lamb Chops weren’t at all spicy, at least not in my estimation.
The Duck Tikka with Tandoori was sweet, which I really wasn’t in the mood for at that point. The Tandoori Chicken Chops seasoned with chilli & curry leaf was what I’d have put all my chips in for the dish with the expected kick, but no, no kick, but again, perfectly cooked and tasty. My Punjabi Chicken Wing Lollipops were absolutely fantastic, again it was somewhat sweet and lacked the kick I was expecting based on my past experiences with Indian grilled cuisine, but regardless it was special.
Individually, she wasn’t a big fan of the Raita the biryani, which I had a bit off was really tasty, and the chicken was cooked really well, although with minimal seasoning and the Dal was done like her mum’s, which I’m sure is a compliment. Shiima mixed the Chicken Biryani with the Dal and Raita and enjoyed the combination. The Chaat really went well with the Naan bread we ordered to share, in fact the naan bread was good with everything, so much that we ordered two more portions lol. I was expecting some chickpeas in the dish as in my limited experience of Chaat dishes there are always some meaty Chickpeas. The dish was really nice, although rather very sweet for my palate. The Chaat was predominantly indian white sweet potatoes cooked to perfection and then doused in tamarind and yogurt. Shiima’s Black Pepper Chicken Tikka, was really well cooked, although Shiima wasn’t very enthralled with the seasoning, I did like it although I was hoping for it to be spicier. I ordered the Punjabi Chicken Wing Lollipops, and tandoori chicken chops for “starters”, and Duck Tikka with Tandoori and Smoked Chilli Lamb Chops for my main. Shiima ordered a Black Pepper Chicken Tikka small plate, and Shakarkhand Chaat as “starters”, and a small plate of Rampur Chicken Biryani, Dal, and Raita for her main. So far, so exciting for me, especially with everything grilled! What we ordered And most dishes come as a small plate or big plate portion. So your starters will be dishes that arrive first, and main dishes will arrive last, solely based on the cooking time. Essentially, everything on the menu (probably besides the curries and rice) is grilled and so the menu is set up according to cooking time. Then we were giving the food menu, which initially was hard to understand, but our kind waiter talked us through it. But as we don’t drink we flicked through to the non-alcoholic cocktails and ordered a pair of cocktails and some still water. The restaurant’s decor is modern and stylish with sculptures across the room.įirst we were given the drinks menu, and ideally left to choose from a vast array of wines, spirits, beers, and cocktails. Our table was close to the open grill and kitchen, which was a sight to behold – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables on display, and several kinds of grills including a charcoal grill and a tandoor.
One of the two maître ds checks us in and the other led us to our table. The restaurant itself isn’t entirely visible from the street because it’s behind a corner, but there is a clear sign letting you know where you are. The RestaurantĪmaya is roughly 5 minutes walk from Knightsbridge Station – it’s an entertaining walk past several high-end stores and opulent homes. But eventually we did go for dinner last Monday. But for countless reasons, we kept rescheduling the dinner, probably did four times. After going to Trishna and Gymkhana, both incredible Indian restaurants, we were excited to go to Amaya. Amaya is a Michelin starred Indian restaurant in Knightsbridge, which Shiima found about six months ago during her thorough search for fine dining restaurants for us to visit, and maybe eventually write about.
