Kasturi sets itself apart from most Indian restaurants with its award winning Pakhtoon cuisine from the North West provinces of India

 

Situated within close proximity to Aldgate tube station in London, Kasturi is an award winning Indian restaurant specialising in Pakhtoon cuisine from the North West Frontier provinces of India. The name Kasturi evokes the idea of the splendour and mystique of India, something which this excellent city restaurant manages to do well with its fantastic menu. Named amongst the top 30 Indian restaurants in the UK by the British Curry Awards in 2005 and a finalist in the Best Curry Awards 2006 by Restaurant Magazine, Kasturi is a well respected and highly revered Indian eatery. Not your usual curry house in style either, Kasturi boasts a serene and understated dining room complete with smart wooden flooring, blond wood seating and subtle lemon coloured linen topped tables. But the real star of the show is the food, which is not only full of flavour but is also much healthier than your usual Indian cuisine. Pakhtoon cuisine is prepared using the juices of meat and vegetables rather than ghee and butter, meaning less calories and more flavour. House specials include the Zeera chicken (chicken sautéed in ginger, garlic and cumin; Dahi Machli (fresh tilapia fish fillets coated in turmeric and chilli sauce served with a spicy yoghurt dressing) and the award winning Koh-E-Avadh, a classic North Indian lamb dish where lamb shanks are cooked in their own juices with cardamom and saffron. For a truly memorable Indian dining experience in the City of London head to the Kasturi restaurant.

Great dishes - these are not your usual "British" Indian meals but authentic Indian dishes which in all honesty I've only tasted in India and when I visit an indian mates home and his Mum cooks!! Lots of variety and a great range of starters and Thalis in particular. Well worth checking out - reasonably priced with great service!
