Set in the mountains a short drive from Cabarete, this bungalow-style hotel and restaurant hosts family-sized Indian dinners (minimum eight people). Food is quality Indian-Caribbean fusion, including two different veggie dishes, a main course such as tandoori or curried chicken or fish, rice, salad, coffee, tea and dessert. Dinner only. Reservations essential.
It feels like a slightly gimmicky experience: you sit on the floor and eat with your hands. The bungalows (US$60) include breakfast in the price, and are cool and comfortable, with inventive Indian-style decor. To get here from Cabarete, head east on the highway to Sabaneta and turn right on the road to Jamao al Norte. Proceed a few kilometers and you’ll pass a bridge in the town of Los Brazos, where you should look for a sign to your left as you climb the hill.
