Amaya

Frommer's Review

This chic restaurant, a hot dining ticket, is said to have introduced the "grazing" concept to Indian food. Dishes are shared, hopefully with a party of friends, so that you can pick and choose at random. This is no mere curry house but an ambitious restaurant with skilled chefs standing over grills and tandoor ovens in the eye-catching open kitchen. After devouring the rock oysters in a ginger-studded coconut sauce, we knew we were in for a special meal -- and we were right. Our table shared grilled baby eggplant sprinkled with mango powder. Chicken Tikka is one of the signature dishes, the lamb chops are fork tender, and the lobster beautifully spiced. Vegetarians delight in the tandoor-cooked broccoli in a yogurt sauce. One of our favorites was the artichoke biryani baked in a pastry-sealed pot. For dessert, try the fresh pomegranate granite which is sugar-free.
