Jamuna Restaurant, Paddington, London, – A review by Roshni Jethwa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamuna Restaurant
\n38A Southwick Street,
\nPaddington,
\nLondon,
\nW2 1JQ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slightly off the beaten track is this modern, smart and
\ncontemporary Indian restaurant of the fusion variety. Most people
\nassociate Indian food with a certain ‘slapdash’ lack of sophistication,
\noften served with lashings of beer and backchat. But Jumanu resembles
\nnothing like the usual dubious d\u00e9cor – none of the flock wallpaper, naff
\nsitar music and pictures of the Taj Mahal that light up. When you arrive
\nthere’s a warm and friendly reception waiting to lead you into a very
\nminimalist style restaurant with wooden floors and clean lines.<\/strong>
\nThe chefs here are keen to redefine expectations and the dishes are not
\nformulaic in any sense of the word. The menu looks delicious and proves
\ndifficult to make a selection from the variety of intriguing dishes to
\nsample. It offers good staple favourites but with innovative twists –
\ndishes such as Sunhari Tikka (Diced breast of corn fed chicken marinated
\nwith orange zest, chilli & honey cooked in a clay oven) or Monkfish Tikka
\n(Grilled monkfish tails in a marinade of coriander & mint). At the same
\ntime are very accommodating if you desire dishes not on the menu
\nThe cooking is fresh and fragrant and is so well presented you would be
\nforgiven for thinking you were treating yourself to the upper echelons of
\nfine dining. even the kulfi comes dressed up ready to impress!!!.. Each of
\nthe courses are distinctive with the right amount.<\/p>\n

Alongside the food comes classy service without the all too common
\nhovering of waiters and leaving you to enjoy the meal. The restaurant has
\nthe most delightful owners including Moffat head waiter who is certainly
\nworth including in on your conversations as he provides entertaining and
\namusing stories of the area and its people inbetween courses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This restaurant has a very quiet and calm atmostphere and is not a full of
\nclatter, noise and loud music and is therefore ideal surroundings for
\nbusiness meetings where you really interested in engaging with those you
\nare with or enjoying the company of friends and family alike.<\/p>\n

Although slightly pricey (average price is approx 34-45 per head). This is
\nall you could want restaurant – pleasantly unpretentious but is never
\npatronising or imposing, just as the service is genuinely friendly and
\nwarm – almost as if you are visiting old friends with promises of a hearty
\nand filling meal in great company – it’s certainly easy to make yourself
\nfeel at home.<\/p>\n
