My boyfriend and I visited Tiffinbites St. Pauls on a Wednesday night after hearing rave reviews from a friend. It is a gorgeous venue that oozes modern sophistication. Upon arrival, the restaurant was very busy, lending an upbeat vibe to our meal.
Although Tiffinbites has a full bar, we both opted for the non-alcoholic Mango Lassi, a sinfully delicious yoghurt and alfonso mango concoction.
The waitstaff was friendly and our service was prompt, which was fabulously efficient given how busy it was. The presentation was also unique as our food arrived in tiffin tins, similar to the small metal tins that are used to serve food in India.
I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was served with fresh naan, side salad and pilau rice. Being an animal advocate, I was pleased to learn that all of Tiffinbites chicken is free range. The Chicken Tikka Masala was tender and delicious- and had the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness.
My boyfriend ordered the Boti Kebab, a kebab with boneless pieces of lamb marinated in Indian herbs and spices and cooked in the tandoor. He said that the lamb was exceptionally tender and beautifully spiced.
We also shared the Aloo Tikki Chaat -Crisp potato patties topped with spiced chickpeas, tamarind chutney, mint chutney and thick yoghurt. They were very refreshing and delicious!
Our total bill was only £26.00. An amazing deal for a starter, two mains and beverages in the City! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for delicious and reasonable Indian food in fashionable surroundings.
