Named after the dancers of the court of Indra, who could move freely between heaven and earth, Apsara is a stalwart Port of Spain restaurant, popular with a well-dressed business crowd. Specializing in North Indian cuisine, its curries and tandoori meats and fish will melt in your mouth, and there are plenty of vegetarian options. Pricey, but weekday lunch specials are good value.

Secure valet parking is available.
