Authentic Indian cuisine down Baseline

Everyone loves Indian and everyday, you get foodies looking for a new place to go dine out from. Well foody hunters, there is one more place in the Indian cuisine catergory that you’ll need to check out. Located on No.

2, Victoria Place down Baseline road, Narahenpita, you get this simple and very homely looking place with a big red board at the entrance which says – Red Fort, Colombos latest Authentic Moghul Indian restaurant with its very own Moghul chef.

It’s not the typical restaurant you would walk into. It has a very warm feeling about it. Like I said, you feel as if you are walking into your own home, taking a seat at your selected area and ordering some good Indian food to munch into.

A few of us were invited by Pradeep Liyanage and Niranjan Mudalige (the guys who began this with a lot of hospitality and hotelier experience to add to their bio), to experience the new venue and well amongst conversations of the history of cuisine, the country’s delicacy and world news, somehow they came to agree upon the likeness of the dishes served to them. Naan lovers, I really do recommend you to try out the Chilli naan and the garlic naan with the green paneer – slurpicious :). You also get to choose the normal butter naan and also the cheese naan along with a range of curries such as dhal, a choice of meet curries and fried fish etc.

If you are a person who likes to start from course to course then you can definitely do so by starting with a choice of salad, soup and then slowly moving ahead to the main dishes of Biriyani, roti, steam rice and then on to the desserts. All these dishes are served in a bowl that makes sure nothing is gone to waste and is very much sufficient for two people to finish up. Some of the dishes you can choose which are good are Tandoori pomfret, Murgh Anarkali, Bakra sheikh kebab, Malai kebab, Aloo ghobi and Dhal makini. For the sweet toothed people you will not resist the Gulab jamun or the Jelabi.

So drop on by and see if they fit your authentic bill of Indian cuisine or whether they need to bring in more Indian.
