INDU Dining

We went to a sensational afternoon of gin tastings, delicious food, and live jazz.
My absolute favourite was the fish crudo in a subtle coconutey green curry suce. But everything tasted so good 💕
Gin was excellent, too, but I’m not sure I was able to judge after the 3rd one. Oh, wait! was it after the second one that I couldn’t feel my face anymore? 😳
And maybe I should have started with the Jazz band, but they set the mood just right. Sultry voice and smooth vibes from the guitar 🎸 👌
We were very well looked after by extremely attentive staff. It was exceptional service 👏
Thank you, INDU 😊

This restaurant fell short of expectations despite my anticipation for an enjoyable srilankan dining experience. Upon arriving promptly for my 6:45 reservation, I was left waiting for the hostess for an additional 10 minutes. Fortunately, a sympathetic waitress took notice and seated me, though the delay was already setting a negative tone.

Opting for the set menu, I faced another hurdle as I was informed that it wasn’t available for solo diners, a detail that should have been communicated earlier. Consequently, there was another delay before I could place my order.

Despite the initial hiccup, the Hiramasa kingfish entree was a highlight, with delightful flavors, though I deducted points for its lack of heat. However, the chickpea curry hopper, recommended by the hostess, failed to impress. It lacked the expected spice and fell short of the authentic taste I was hoping for.

To compound matters, after enduring a mix-up with my order, I waited an exasperating 40 minutes for my mains, only to be informed of kitchen mishaps without an apology. The subsequent gesture of complimentary dried roasted chickpeas did little to mitigate the frustration.

Ultimately, I regrettably had to cancel my order and depart, feeling immensely disappointed by the overall experience. For a restaurant specialising in South Indian/ Srilankan cuisine, the lack of attention to detail and delays were disheartening.

Now we have never tried Indian food before. However, Indu was delicious! & exceeded all my expectations. This is fusion Indian food. The dishes came out nicely timed. Most dishes had a bit of heat. However the spicy heat washed away instantly with liquid. So it wasn’t like chilli which lingers in your mouth like forever! We were pleasantly surprised

Good food, great ambience and excellent customer service. We ordered the signature menu and it was a journey to remember.. Special thanks to Sophie, who served us with a happy face and was very courteous.

Delightful evening. The Arrack based cocktails were my find in this visit. If you’re not familiar with this cuisine then feel free to ask the friendly staff for help OR go the banquet. If you’re ok with a bit of red meat, you’ll love the goat Dosa.
