For a causal dinner I chose Guru for some Indian food. I really like Indian food, though I enjoy it more in Autumn/Winter weathers as chilli and hot weather doesn't go so together well for me... Although there are quite a number of Indian restaurants, I wanted to try Guru for their slightly more modernised menu...it just stood slightly above the other places like Tandoor, Ganga Din, and Bombay Dreams, although the latter has recently relocated with a new menu....which calls for a worthy visit so

"sizzling jeera prawn" ($118)
tiger prawns marinated with cumin, ginger, yogurt and paprika
This arrived sizzling hot on the heated metal plate. Underneath the prawns were some bell pepper and tomatoes that had been sauteéd, and was coated in the same sauce as the prawns. Although this dish was relatively spicy I appreciated the heat and with the help of some naan and icy water I finished it easily. The seasoning was spot on and I couldn't complain...
"kadai paneer" ($68)
Sauteéd cottage cheese with bell peppers, garlic, chilli and tomatoes
This gravy was awesome, so light and balanced with sour and heat.... a very good vegetarian option indeed.
"naan" ($25)
Plain leavened bread, arrived warm with crispy base and fluffy top, how I like it. Paired very well with the two mains we ordered.
service was very accommodating, and there was something about this small and cramped restaurant which I liked....perhaps it was the fact that they provide shisha on their patio, with a nice crowd too?
