Gymkhana last night.
Amazing. Still full now.
Duck egg bhurji with lobster meat and paratha. Ehrmagerd! Flaky, light paratha, even lighter bhurji with seriously rich chunks of lobster meat, and hits of chili and herbs.
Butter, pepper, garlic, crab curry! So rich, and so er, crabby! It arrived first out of the main courses and even as the others arrived, all I could smell was garlic and crab, that was definitely the dish of the evening for me, would love to attempt that at home.
Paneer tikka was off the chain, I've always maintained that nobody's paneer beats Tayyab's paneer, but these guys, they smashed it. Cashew crust on the paneer took it to the next level.
Big letdown was the muntjac biryani though, that's what I went specifically to have and it was pretty mundane. They made it Hyderabad style, with pastry crust over the dish and made a song and dance about it but it was mediocre at best, I've had better biryanis at weddings in community centres in Walthamstow and Croydon. Should have gone for something off the Game and Chops menu instead, much more up my street. I guess I'll have to go back!!
Tayyabs tomorrow so will compare posh to ghetto homestyle.
