Frommer's Review

With its decorative Southeast Asian artifacts, and attentive service, this kosher branch of Tel Aviv's famous Tandoori Restaurant creates a graceful atmosphere of Anglo-Indian elegance. The sumptuous and affordable luncheon buffet is a chance for kosher travelers to become acquainted with one of the world's great cuisines. At dinner, you might want to start your meal with zafrani lassi, a refreshing, chilled "yogurt" drink. The boneless tandoori chicken dishes are succulent and flavorful. I was amazed by the fine nawabi korma, a boneless chicken prepared in lightly creamed and seasoned saffron sauce based on soy instead of milk in order to conform to kashrut regulations. There are examples of the cuisines of many regions here -- a wonderful array of South Indian dishes with coconut milk sauces has just been added to the menu. Everything is of very high quality, but served with very moderate spicing: If you want fiery traditional Indian seasoning, just let the staff know. The menu is marvelous at explaining dishes, and contains a virtual cookbook of special recipes.
