On my previous visit to the Grand Trunk Road I had been wowed by how the Meghna Grill of my childhood memories had been transformed from a flock velvet interior so typical of the 80s and 90s to a sophisticated metropolitan restaurant which would not look out of place in central London rather than suburban South Woodford.
There was none of generic curry sauce that you discover in so many Indian restaurants in London; I could taste the individual spices. On my current visit I wanted to check whether the high standard set, with talk of a Michelin star to go with its Best Fine Dining Indian Restaurant at the Asian Curry Awards, has been maintained.
The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant had introduced stringent Covid safety measure, including a temperature check upon entrance and perspex screens between the tables. The restaurant, like everywhere in London had been closed during lockdown, although there were a few tables on the street as well as a delivery service for its loyal customers.
However, the Grand Trunk Road is not really your typical Indian take away. To fully appreciate the experience you have to dine inside the restaurant. As my companion settled into her martini I chatted with Rajesh about the concept of the restaurant, to showcase the finest of Indian cuisine from along the old 2,km Grand Trunk Road, which stretched from Peshwar to Kolkata. Rajesh himself went travelling and tasting along the road in order to develop the dishes.
This journey is reflected in the menu, for we were about to embark upon our own culinary journey through India. As were finishing our popadums , that included a wonderful cumin flavoured variety as well as a great tangy mango and chilli-flake relish, the waiter enquired whether we were happy for our starters to arrive.
In truth Dilli ki chaat has never been my favourite Indian dish, as I have always found it too sweet and a little overwhelming on the yoghurt. However, here the juxtaposition of the textures with the crisp wheat crisps and crunchy chick peas contrasting perfectly with the creamy yoghurt worked a treat.
It also was an excellent combination with the Orkney scallops, a wonderful surprise, that were pan seared with cracked pepper and served on a spicy tomato, roasted garlic and pepper chutney, together with crisp lotus root. Once more the textures reacted perfectly to each other.
