SETTING

Seven bare tables, wallpaper illustrated with bricks and a TV softly broadcasting from a corner exude a rustic, funky charm.

FOOD

People make a pilgrimage to this nondescript, down-at-heels locale because they prize the wonderful food served without frills. Archari chicken is a must for starters, with four boneless chunks of chicken marinated in yoghurt and a ginger garlic paste with hot spices, all cooked in a clay oven. Chicken tikka masala is a curry mixed with egg and mild spice, and provides a breast and leg in a sensational, bronze-coloured sauce. Shahi korma mixes chunks of cottage cheese cooked in butter and cream with mild spices, while palak paneer is also cottage cheese-based but includes plenty of finely chopped spinach, which goes well with plain naan. Vegetable seekh kebab is a fun mix of boiled veggies with chick pea powder rolled into cylinders. Desserts may offer strange after-tastes to the uninitiated.
