Description
Amaya Restaurant is the Indian grill restaurant created by the owners of the renowned Chutney Mary and Veeraswamy. Amaya focuses uniquely on sophisticated Indian grills, seasoned with subtle complex marinades using time honoured Indian grilling methods. These are prepared in full view in a theatrical restaurant show kitchen. Amaya is a casual and joyous restaurant where people can relax and eat with their fingers if they wish. The real Indian food is designed to be shared and is served as it is prepared. There are no conventional first courses or main courses.

The unique culinary essence of Amaya is threefold: The broadest range and variety and of quality Indian grills ever seen under one roof using sophisticated marinades that add flavour and distinction. The food is served as it is prepared. There are no conventional first courses or main courses. The food is designed to be shared in a convivial fashion, and comes in tasting portions, 6-8 of these plates equivalent to a two course meal.

Amaya's food is prepared by the three core Indian grilling methods: Tandoor, a really hot clay oven. Sigri, which involved cooking over a coal flame. Tawa, which is cooking or griddling on a hot thick iron plate. The raw ingredients cover the panoply of seafood, poultry, lamb and game. These include lobster in the shell; king scallops large prawns, oysters, grouper, venison, and quail. Leg of lamb, duck and many others - each infused with a different marinade.

For the aficionados of royal kebab eating in India, where the culmination of the meal was a sophisticated biryani and curry, we also have a small collection of unusual curries and biryanis. There is plentiful vegetarian choice, with over 12 vegetarian dishes including aubergines, sweet potato, baby pepper, corn, and broccoli. The Indian breads comprise a broad selection including a multigrain roti. The rice used for the biryanis is four year old basmati which has an incredible length and consistency
