Neel Kamal Review

This fancy restaurant in the Lake Palace hotel focuses on regional cuisine. The interior is ethnic. The elegant dinner is by candlelight, and includes great service. Sit close to the clear glass window separating the chef from the guests and watch him at work. All dishes are cooked over a wood fire and in clay pots. Try the deliciouus macchli jaisamandi (fish fillets cooked in mint and coriander gravy), kurkuri bhindi (deep-fried okra), mathania laal murg (traditional Rajasthani chicken curry spiced with red chillies) or the sikandari raan (whole leg of lamb marinated overnight, and slow roasted). Seafood is flown in fresh every day and includes tandoori pink salmon and tawaa jhinga (freshwater prawns marinated in cider vinegar, ginger, and mint). The restaurant has one of the largest wine lists in India, with more than 120 wines.
