We wanted a special place for my birthday, and being in the UK, choosing an Indian restaurant was a sure thing. Solti did not disappoint.
We were warmly greeted and seated. It was an early dinner, so not many people, but it eventually filled up. The restaurant is relatively small and nicely decorated.
They have a full bar, so we ordered vodka martinis dry, and they were prepared perfectly.
We started with papadam, an Indian snack and one of our favorite starters. It came with four sauces. Note that you have to ask for it, as it wasn't on the menu for some reason.
The garlic naan was delicious, and richly infused with garlic. In other restaurants, we sometimes find the garlic hard to detect spin in their garlic naan.
Our two favorite dishes are Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh. We shared them and with the garlic naan, had a delectable meal. Some of the best that we've had.
The Lamb Rogan Josh had a creamy tomato sauce with fresh peppers and onions, and the Lamb Rogan Josh a dark gravy with garlic, ginger, kashmiri red chillis, and cinnamon.
And the service was impeccable.
Reservations are essential. Without them you're not going to be a happy walk-in. This is a popular restaurant in a good, central location. I highly recommend it. read more
