Chatora reviews

Too sweet tasting curries, far away from india cuisine. Including nan breads were under cooked.

Chatora in Richmond offers superb food, but watch out, it can be hot hot hot, writes Pippa Duncan. Walking into Chatora made me feel old. There have been various restaurants in this spot on Kew Road for years and it must be more than 30 years ago when it was the Italian, Prego. Does anyone remember Prego? We were there all the time.

Chatora reviews

This upmarket Indian restaurant opened in Richmond in December There are four separate dining areas on different tiers of the building. The head chef is Sunil de Souza, who was sous chef at Chor Bizarre for seven years before working at Trishna for five years, followed by a stint at Kutir. The menu is more ambitious than most local places, with dishes such as venison biryani and squash and edamame samosa appearing. Popadoms began the meal with a trio of accompaniments. Mango and pineapple chutney, mint chutney and yoghurt with curry leaves were all very good, and a change from the norm. Aloo papdi chaat involved tamarind and mint chutneys and honey and yoghurt mousse as well as the usual potatoes and chickpeas. Chicken tikka was exceptionally good: three large pieces of chicken that had been marinated in spices and then cooked in the tandoor. Fish curry used coley, which is quite a bland fish, though the sauce was quite spicy if a little one-dimensional in terms of its spicing — chilli hot rather than a subtle blend of spices. Makhani dhal was the classic dark, slightly smoky dish that is slow cooked for around twenty hours. Venison biryani came sealed in a pastry case that was then cut open at the table. The rice was aromatic and carefully cooked but the venison was rather overcooked. To finish we tried two kulfis.

Anthem laureates are recognized for their contribution in the arts, popular culture and community work. Yes we can! What about immigrants from other African countries? The Where the Heart Is novelist takes exception to criticism from some decolonial aficionados who conclude that he has taken the side of the whites. It is a curious case of turning the tables on oneself for a novelist equally targeted for his pro-black crusades on the diaspora turf. Or, perhaps, a simple taste for complexity? Appropriately enough, Harare Voices and Beyond earned its first gong from a prize that recognizes artworks championing diversity and inclusion.

I had tandoori chicken followed by lamb shank and the flavours were just incredible. The lamb was so tender it fell off the bone and the accompanying sauce was heavenly. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, the staff were so friendly and I wished Thank you so much for your kind words!
