Amani

Amani is a bit of an experience for people like me who are used to the standard British curry house.
The interior of this place is stunning. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into it, and it ends up looking more like a modern European restaurant than an identi-​kit Indian joint.
The service is what you would expect from an up-​market establishment — professional and attentive.
However, it’s the food that sets this place apart. The house menu is not the normal list of madras and jalfrezi. Again, it reads more like a European a la carte menu, with the chef’s own take on popular asian dishes. We’ve been a couple of times and tried a few different things, and all of them have been exquisite. Perfectly cooked, very tasty, really something else.
Whilst the prices in here are higher than most (between £10−14 for a main course) it is well worth it for an occasion.
p. s. there is also a standard Indian-​takeaway menu for people who like to stick to their favourites.

Went along with friends to Amani on the recommendation of their builder. usually a good start.
The place looked good from the outside although a little out of place on this Hamsey Green street, purely because it was quite chic sitting between the local card shop and Co-​op over the road. But that’s just a small point and perhaps their existance will add the boost which the area needs.
The greeting was warm, friendly and attentive from the staff and although the place was only half full it still felt buzzy and the aroma from the kitchen was delicious.
The choices of dish for each course all looked yummy and I had difficulty coming to my final decision for starter and main. I’m pleased to say as much as it looked appetizing on the menu, the flavour when it arrived delivered over and above my expectations — Delicious!
Highly recommended!
