The drink selection is diverse, there are international and regional selections. The menu is huge, The coconut shrimp and the lamb kebab were just ok for me, same as everywhere else. I ordered Madhur Jaffery's favorite, which is the slow cooked lamb neck. The lamb neck was very tender, the curry flavor was very intense, strong flavor, just a hint of spice, the pomegranate arils were a very nice touch, they really enhanced the curry taste and change your palette. I love it. But the saffron rice was very dry. The same for the white rice in my colleagues Curry Chicken, the curry flavor is quite standard, nothing special.
The service was OK, not extraordinary, I had to look for the wait staff and ask for things a few times.
I can't say about the other dishes, but overall I think there are a few signature dishes but nothing I haven't had before. Mostly everything else should be pretty normal. You are paying for the ambient and plating really. If I am in the area, I will come here again to try the other dishes. After all, Indian food in England is always a safe bet.
I've been a few times now but last night's meal was truly special. We made the trip all the way from Bournemouth as I think it's totally worth it!
I opted for the prawns to start and the lambs neck curry for my main and both were absolutely delicious and full of flavour, I could have anything from the menu as it's clear each dish has been carefully curated. The beautiful lamb in the curry just fell apart as soon as I touched it with my fork, it was cooked to perfection and very high quality. My fiancé had a korma and that was also delicious, very flavoursome and tender.
The service and ambience is also excellent, the staff are all over it and always accommodating and polite if not a little quick to take your plate after you've finished a course but that's a very minor thing in an otherwise excellent experience!
If you want to go for an Indian but want something a bit more special and unique Anokaa is an absolute must!
