Although some island restaurants might feature an Indian dish on their menus from time to time, this is the only purely Indian restaurant in the Cayman Islands, and as such, it's often sought out as a change of pace from Caribbean cuisine. The decor is warm, folkloric, and charming, with the interior illuminated with lanterns of embroidered fabric. Dishes are, as a matter of policy, prepared with a "medium" degree of spiciness, which you can doctor by instructing the staff (most of whom come from either Goa or Bombay) according to your wishes. There's a wide array of meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes to choose from, but ongoing favorites include chicken korma in a mild curry sauce; chicken tikka masala, cooked in a medium-spicy tomato-flavored butter sauce; and lamb vindaloo, served in a tomato-based spicy curry sauce. All main courses come with saffron-flavored rice, pickles, yogurt, salad, and Indian breads. The lunch buffet is an excellent value on Grand Cayman.
