So imagine an Indian restaurant with numerous awards under its belt—the mastery must be simply outstanding. The award-winning Anglo Indian Café & Bar has fully committed to its pursuit of Anglo Indian culinary excellence.
History would tell us how much the Brits have fallen in love with Indian cuisine.
