Itihaas
Army Rum Lamb Shank Masala

Featured by Michel Roux on the BBC, Itihaas has also won the Cobra Good Curry “Best British Indian Restaurant” award. They have a reasonable lunchtime special menu. But I choose a la carte, starting with their signature mixed platter - lamb and bell pepper kebabs, tandoori lamb chops, Amritsar tilapia and malai tangri kebab. Itihaas has a slightly old Colonial air décor, so it felt right to try one of their chef's specials, which would undoubtedly have gone down well with retired colonels hankering after a taste of India. My chosen dish of Army Rum Lamb Shank Masala was slow cooked with oven roasted tomatoes and sliced onions in a gorgeously thick Indian Army Rum masala gravy. Accompanied by roti ki toki (a selection of Indian breads), this was a robust and supremely tasty offering. If I'd have had room for a dessert, I would have been tempted by an unusual apple Jalebi.
