“At Guru, the food does the talking…”
With little separating one Indian establishment from another, new kid on the block Guru is a breath of fresh air. Nestled amongst the jazz clubs and lounge bars of Lower Elgin Street, this award-winning SoHo establishment emphasises healthy Indian cuisine, using olive oil instead of butter and ghee, and employing freshly grated tomatoes in every dish. This delicate interpretation of traditional subcontinent recipes brings spices and flavour to the fore, letting the quality of ingredients do the talking and leaving a highly appreciated lightness to the cuisine.
For HK$270, you can sample some of the best that Guru has to offer with your choice of Appetizer, Tandoor Chargrill or Kebab and bottle of Red or White Wine.
Much raved-about appetizers include the Blue Mango Chat, a crunchy, creamy concoction of mango cubes with whole-wheat crisps, sweetened yogurt, mint and tamarind chutney. Yum! For mains, the Mixed Tandoor Grill delivers tender chargrilled chunks of spiced lamb, chicken, fish and prawns. The Lamb Rack Kashmiri showcases the Head Chef’s culinary flair, bursting with spices and chargrilled goodness. While the Kebabs are truly to die for. Wash it all down with a bottle of Pinot Grigio or Pinot Noir, a great way to get an evening started with good friends.
“Unadulterated by artificial colouring and cooked in olive oil only, their food is gentler than most restaurant-style Indian cuisine. Their stir fried okra, and their berry pulao are super tasty, as is their tandoori rack of lamb.” - Voted Hong Kong’s Best Indian by TimeOut HK
