Tamarind, London

If your experience of Indian restaurants so far extends to stumbling into the nearest neon-lit curry house after copious amounts of alcohol, with 10 equally inebriated pals, then you really should visit this classy eatery. Indian opulence abounds in this sumptuous basement establishment. The interior at Tamarind is a step above the usual, with colonial Raj style decor having been rejected in favor of a cool, still setting, neither European nor Asian, with its warm lighting and naturally textured surfaces. The food is a derivative of Mogul style cuisine and is, quite simply, exquisite. Particularly recommended is their kebab spread, but all the dishes are worth a try.
