Indian Table with @SteveR and his better half, and @ninkat. I had a great time there, as I always do, but the theme - Anglo/Indian - was not my favorite. We started off auspiciously, with this Fata Fatt cauliflower, pleasantly oily and with a lot of flavor from the curry leaves, onions and peppers.
Oh, I had a cocktail, obviously. It’s basically a gin and tonic, with a lot of “stuff,” and described to me as something I would have a lot of control over, adding components as I saw fit, etc. Well, it was a glass of aromatics, and a little bottle of grapefruit-infused gin, and a slightly larger bottle of elderflower tonic. All very nice, but basically a classed-up version of the drink you get on a plane. Not saying I didn’t like it. Of course I liked it.
Next up was this shrimp croquette, confusingly called a prawn cutlet on the menu. It was very bread-y and not nearly shrimp-y enough. Nice presentation, though.
This was the dish I was most looking forward to, egg curry with drumstick. I don’t think I’ve had drumstick (what would happen if asparagus and artichoke had a baby) since my long ago trip to Mumbai. Still good! Still messy!
The two desserts, eggy bread (French toast, basically) and steamed ginger pudding (not really a pudding at all, more of a composed grain dish). Nice, but not exactly earth-shattering
