  4. Glenary's

    This elegant restaurant atop the famous bakery and café delights patrons with good food, grand views, cold beer and superior service. The continental sizzlers (veg and nonveg), Chinese dishes, curries and tandoori specials are excellent though we would like to see a greater selection of Indian cuisine. The chicken rashmi kebab (chicken marinated in spiced yogurt before being baked tandoori style) is divine.
