Bur Dubai
Chutneys provides a richly nuanced culinary journey to northern India. There's lots of familiar feel-good fare including juicy kebabs and fluffy biryanis, as well as the signature dish tawa chicken – boneless chicken cooked on a tawa (griddle) in a thick tomato-onion and cashew sauce. The lunchtime thali is great value, along with the Wednesday night buffet.
Reservations recommended.
