Before you even think about deciding on your meal at Indian Tukka, get yourself some fresh pappadums and use the mixed pickle chutney to dip. Once you've taken the time to notice that the whole restaurant smells of sweet Indian spices, you're ready to order. Starting with the tomato saar is a good idea. It's a tangy tomato soup laced with coconut milk. After that, the spiced lamb in thick spinach gravy is great, but without doubt, locals love the Goa fish curry—its traditional flavours come from the west coast of India (just like the owners of the restaurant). You could also opt for juicy lamb cutlets, a korma of cashew and nutmeg-dusted chicken or garlic mushroom tikka for something lighter. After your main, choose from passionfruit, mango or pistachio ice cream. The milk dumplings are a great dessert as well. They're served with nuts, honey and butter.
