10 best Indian restaurants
15 Comments 28 April 2011
Coconut Grove: Popular with diners looking for a decent, licensed curry house in the Satwa area, Coconut Grove boasts a huge range of dishes from around the Indian subcontinent, including a great range of seafood options. A view out over the city – albeit through windows that could do with a good wash – and some far-too-tasty poppodums help make this a great starter spot for a night out. The vegetable dishes, on the whole, tend to taste almost identical to each other, as in the case of the dahl makhani (which is also extraordinarily rich for the traditionally bland dish) and the mixed vegetable balti. Apart from colour and texture, the two are almost indiscernible from one another, not to mention surprisingly oily. However the shellfish dishes are superb. A karaikudi lobster masala, though not as spicy as one might hoped, is tangy, flavoursome and stuffed with generous chunks of rich meat, while the dry nadra kai kara puluzu is presented with a large bowl of deliciously sweet crabs, garnished with a tomato, garlic and chilli-based sauce. There are few places that deserves your custom more if you’ve got your heart set on good quality, at extremely reasonable prices.

Timeout seems to have decided to add "Kebab" to the names of Khazana (No.9) and Manvaar (No.10) for some reason.

Is this guy straight off a boat from england or what? What in the name of god is a 'curry house'!!. Its like calling any english/American restaurant a bacon/cheese corner. If you do not know about real indian food, and dont know how to enjoy it, and all you can order is couple of varieties of kebab and chicken curry, then please refrain from writing articles about our exquisite quisine as though you know something. This is by no means a collection of the best food, its just some expensive ones,most of which are'nt as gud, when you consider the charges. If you want real indianfood at amazingly reasonable prices,some options to check out are -'Tandoori', in Ibn batuta mall, or 'Antique bazaar' in 4 point sheraton, or Dhaba in Dubai grand hotel. It will be a public service, if you dont write any more articles on indian cuisine!

Wise up, this is an indian restaurant review, do you also want TOB to hold your hand, maybe wipe the mango chutney from your chin and maybe even pay for the bill.... all i can say is lazy.....
all these restaurants can be found in the restaurant section...duh! with maps, contact details and prices... -

Can I second the person complaining about the overuse of the world "moreish"?
Also, can you stop saying, "we tucked into..." it makes me cringe.
And you forgot The Bombay at Marco Polo Hotel on this list. -

You guys missed Amal @ Armani, it's fabulous! I'd rate Asha's #2.
All other eatries are 'also ran' & defintely need to reinvent. Indigo & Khazana are definately over rated! -

Your reviews are essentially an 'outsider's' review - shows amazing lack of understanding of Indian cuisine - its variations. But that may be deliberate.

If you use the word 'moreish' one more time in your reviews I'm going to cringe so loud you can hear me at the Time Out 'Towers'!
Also, please don't simplify these dining establishments and Indian food as a whole by calling them 'curry houses', the spectrum of our cuisine is much richer and broader than what the average 'punter' is used to from 'back home'

A price indication for a meal for two in the hotel reviews will give us a better idea about the budgets to keep in mind when considering a visit to the reviewed restaurant

If you want to lure us punters you really MUST include the locations of ALL the restaurants, otherwise all your good work is in vain. This is a repetitive failure of your review columns.
