Everything about Gandhi\u2019s Revenge<\/strong> exudes an intensity disparate to other restaurants that foremost seek to emit warmth\u2014with its name being a grand attestation to this among many others.<\/p>\n

According to the British owner as well as the mind and hand behind every food, Zak Lloyd,\u00a0<\/strong>this finds its tale to the Indian subjugation by the British forces, wherein the prominent nationalist Mahatma Gandhi was vocally against. By offering an array of spicy dishes, the restaurant acts as Gandhi\u2019s revenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But within the intimidating facade lies an openness for everyone\u2019s utmost favor. <\/span>For one, the 22 curry dishes offered at the British-Indian restaurant can be readily tweaked according to a person\u2019s preference: choose the level of its spiciness, and then decide whether you want mixed vegetables, chickpeas, lentils, paneer, or chicken to be the main ingredient of your order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And once you get to try any of them, you will understand why tourists wholeheartedly wait outside the always-packed expanse\u2014most especially when you taste their <\/span>Tikka Masala<\/b> that particularly boasts of thickness unlike others thanks to the coconut milk and mango chutney.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A spoonful of this classic favorite will completely graze your mouth with the pungency of the spices, and of the nagging desire to come back again even if you haven\u2019t left yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another recommended variant is the <\/span>Chickpea Korma<\/b>, which is comparatively lighter yet rougher in taste. It is cooked through the mixture of chickpea, coconut milk, cardamom, and cashew nuts\u2014which might as well be the aspect that greatly differs the dish from others that are mixed with almonds or peanuts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
