The Curry Culture (Cuppage Terrace)

One of better Indian restaurants in Orchard Road area. The décor is more rustic, and the food is not as refined as at the ‘celebrity’ Indians (like Rang Mahal, Song of India, Punjab Grill, Yantra) but it is much more satisfying - like a good old traditional French dish at a top bistrot vs. a beautifully-plated and highly-technical one with emulsion at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The vindaloo is one of the best you can have! I like extremely spicy food, but did well to follow the advice of owner Sandeep Sachar and ordered it with 6 chillis (on a scale of 1 to 10), otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to savour the different subtle flavours in the curry. Fragrant biryani and excellent garlic naan. Warm and attentive service staff, who share Mr. Sachar’s passion.
