  1. Copper Chimney

    The boti kebab (charcoal-grilled marinated mutton) is spicy, succulent goodness, the tandoori gobi (cauliflower) is clay-oven magic, and the ‘sizzling brownie’ is chocolatey bliss. Chic interior.

  4. Barbeque Nation

    The novelty at this wood-esque restaurant is small grills embedded in each table, allowing diners to partake in the cooking of their meals. The food, however, isn’t quite as sexy. There’s a good veg/nonveg buffet (lunch Monday to Saturday/Sunday per person Rs309/450; dinner daily Rs450) which includes BBQ Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean fare.

    Swagath

    Stellar Indian food with a focus on Mangalorean and Chettinad recipes. Seafood – prawns, squid, crab and a tasty fish gassi (coconut-based curry) – is artfully prepared, and the murgh malai tikka (clay oven–cooked marinated chicken) isn’t bad either.
