Frommer's Review

After taking a break from running restaurants in Glasgow, Balbir Singh Sumal returned in 2005 to open this sprawling place, serving first-class curries and other Indian specialties. Dishes are lighter than the norm, as his chefs eschew ghee in favor of low-cholesterol rapeseed oil. The tandoori oven is used to good effect with dishes, especially a starter of barbecued salmon, served with freshly made chutney. Fans of Seinfeld will appreciate the portrait of Kramer, proudly if rather incongruously hung on one wall of this otherwise stylish dining room.
