Indian Summer (Churchgate)

Hot!

Nothing describes it more aptly: Indian Summer is like the Indian summer in Mumbai – hot all the year. Ask for any Indian delicacy here, and you shall not regret it. A good idea to sample traditional Indian fare is the lunch buffet over here. With the choicest of vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian fare along with a complimentary beverage at a rather affordable price, it does pack quite a punch. The chaats served as part of the buffet are especially good, and one is often tempted to feast on the mouth-watering (literally so) paani pooris before venturing to the main course. Among the main courses, the paneer curry is done up beautifully with the right mix of onions, mint and other spices; and is best enjoyed with the layered lacha paratha. Within the a-la-carte too, there is plenty one has to choose from, from different parts of the country. The regular chicken or mutton curry with paratha is a delicacy in itself, as one can tease the meat pieces in the gravy with the beautifully layered bread. If you prefer the mughlai sort, the mutton biryani here is exceptionally good, with perfectly cooked, soft slices of meat combining with fragrant basmati rice and a bevy of condiments to produce a delicious meal in itself. And if you are more inclined towards the coast, the Goan prawn curry with rice is a good option, as you struggle rather pleasurably to finish an unusually large helping of prawns in aromatic coconut-based gravy with steamed basmati rice. Indian Summer also excels in the art of food presentation, with its lidded pre-modern containers that ensure food is kept warm while reinforcing the royal heritage of the country. And so, while a sign at the payment counter mentions that customer complaints are the schoolbooks from which they take their lessons, it can be assumed safely that the aforementioned book will just comprise a whole lot of empty pages!
