 uring the full moon (Purnima being the Sanskrit translation), women all over the world act in an irrational fashion and allow their emotions to take them over. Chef Vikas Khanna (salaam Bombay, Tamarind) is hoping he can channel the appetites of these vociferous ladies (and their male counterparts) with his latest Indian resto and appeal to their passions and senses with exotic curries, aromas and flavors.
The tandoori oven is always on full heat, ready to serve Adraki Lamb chops and Tandoori Jhinga to anxious patrons. The Lamb Vindaloo, cooked in a spicy, tomato-vinegar, is so succulent and juicy that an extra serving of Naan is mandatory. Look for some special fusion dishes (the real hidden gems) if you’re tired of the traditional Indian dishes.

2 Reader Reviews | We went to try this restaurant after seeing it in Timeout. Every minute was a transporting experience.....We had ordered the chef's tasting menu and the was amazing to see step by step journey of flavors, after sometime I could not wait to see the chef. It was enough for dessert. When I told the waitress that we will pass on the dessert as your chef is a sweet treat?, she could not stop laughing.......Very good experience
