Well worth trying are the handful of dishes unique to this popular local restaurant, a wonderful apricot chicken Kashmir among them. Chicken madras, and a super-hot chicken vindaloo are consistently the most-ordered of the ‘All Time Favourites.’

We had been to Kutir before and loved it, but this time decided to have the tasting menu, which certainly did not disappoint! They were extremely attentive and ensured that I (pregnant) could have all of the food, even allowing me to change one of the dishes. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is fantastic, and the staff are so polite - we will be back! Thank you for a lovely evening.

We went for an early dinner to celebrate birthday and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and friendly staff who made us feel instantly welcome. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality truly set the tone for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take pride in their craft. Whether you're a fan of classic favorites or adventurous new dishes, the menu has something to delight every palate. The cocktails were exceptional, crafted to perfection by the talented bartenders. I’d highly recommend trying the Old Fashioned or Margarita. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion, a casual night out, or just treating yourself to something wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!
