KoalKeel
KoalKeel Review
Dinner at KoalKeel is a unique culinary and historic treat not to be missed on Anguilla. Originally part of a sugar and cotton plantation, the restaurant, with its beautiful dining verandah, is owned and lovingly overseen by Lisa Gumbs, a descendent of the slaves once housed here. A tour of the history-rich buildings is a must. A 200-year-old rock oven is used in the on-site bakery upstairs, and with a day's notice you can enjoy a slow-roasted whole chicken from that oven. It is also used to delightful effect in touches of the East Indies on the mostly West Indies menu, like tandoori-spiced lamb, spiced vegetable samosa, and tandoori roasted shrimp spring rolls. Be sure to save room for the incredible desserts. Wine lovers take note of the exceptional 15,000-bottle wine cellar, in an underground cistern. Anguilla's savvy early risers show up here for the fresh French bread, croissants, and pain au chocolat, which are sold out by 9 am.

The coolness of the old plantation with the ceiling fans reminded me of being somewhere in Casablanca.
The menu is an interesting Indian twist on island staples. My wife had an excellent tandori brushed chicken and myself and excellent mahi mahi with a coriander dusting and with the wonderful rice and peas side.
If you're looking for a unquiely situated spot that isn't the usual island fare, try Koal Keel.
A little expensive, but really, what higher restaurant on Anguilla isn't?
