"Ex-Gymkhana chefs Nand Kishor and Sanjay Gour’s cosy, contemporary, colourful North Indian in Epsom is extraordinarily popular, and it’s easy to see why: the reassuringly short menu is filled with very well-executed dishes such as guinea fowl and chicken seekh kabab with apple murabba, and lamb chops enlivened by kasundi mustard relish. Streaked with green, spinach, potato, and onion pakoras don’t just look pretty, they’re freshly fried and not the hard, overcooked ‘double fried’ lumps found in inferior places. There’s more greenery in fragrant vegetable biryani, generously packed with asparagus, peas and Jerusalem artichokes — a combination that works surprisingly well, especially with the crunch of plentiful fried onions." - Sejal Sukhadwala
