. See my post on the awards for details of the other winners.For my meal I opted for A Taste of Imli, an ever changing selection of 4 dishes chosen by the chef that give you a taster of what the restaurant has to offer.
First off two starters, a spicy fish dish, amsitsari fish (batter fried tilapia) served with a mint dip and spiced potato cakes with ginger chilli and tamarind (as an aside Imli in Hindi means Tamarind and the owners also run a Michelin starred restaurant of that name) sauce. Both were excellent, so far so good.
Next a chicken dish, Chicken Dungar (didn't he used to play for Brazil?) with rice. Again very good although the paratha I had on the side could have been a tad crisper.
Finally my palate was cleansed with a superb mango and basil sorbet washed down with some damn fine coffee.
Total damage....£16.
Overall verdict, great food, great price, great restaurant. Will I return? Oh hell yeagh. See you tomorrow night Chris.

Very enjoyable. Starters and the sorbet were superb, though the main courses were merely very good. Prices were reasonable, the service was friendly and efficient and the ambient pun quotient was high. Have hopefully persuaded some of my colleagues to give it a go, so I can go back and sample some of the signature dishes - particularly the Goan Pork and Southern Lamb. Chris
Very disappointing! I was expecting Pork and Gravy. Not a hint of sauerkraut either.
