WHY GO? Frequented by both locals and tourists alike, Indus has a sophisticated Old World charm with both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as private rooms that are ideal for parties and events. The staff is welltrained and attentive.

WHAT TO ORDER? The long list of Kashmiri, vegetarian and Chinese-Indian dishes offer diners plenty of choice. Indie fries, a signature appetiser of crunchy chickpeabattered okra, makes for a good start. Other top choices are chicken kati roll, a nicely seasoned kebab rolled in Indian flat bread, and kebab-e-malai, which is tender boneless chicken marinated in yoghurt, coriander and cheese, barbecued and served on a sizzlinng hot plate with a slice of lime. For the mains, a popular choice is Indus rogan josh, a smooth flavourful curry cooked to perfection with the meat tender and succulent. The delicious murgh makhani, or butter chicken curry, pairs well with the many naan and rice options, though the garlic naan and the fragrant zaffrani pulao come highly recommended.

Indus delivers great quality wines with a good mix of Old and new Worlds all at very reasonable prices.
