Vintage India may not be the most evocatively monikered restaurant, but it does boast a very fine kitchen indeed. The menu makes a comprehensive tour of the various cuisines of the subcontinent, starting with the naans and tandoor of the north and sweeping south towards the seafood-based curries of Kerala. Be adventurous and experiment away from the usual orders of tandoori prawns and butter chicken (though the version here was a rich but never cloying blend of thick ochre-hued and gingery gravy with strips of skinless chicken). On a recent visit, the curry leaf-scented Malabar fish curry seduced with snowy-white flesh that melted on the tongue, while a lamb curry warmed with crushed cashew nuts begged for second helpings.
