Indian restaurants offering this level of authenticity are few and far between - at Moksh you'll find original Indian recipes infused with the finest flavours, served in an elegant and exotic atmosphere. Visit for a long lunch or evening meal, unwind and let the strains of beautiful background music and the warming aroma of Indian delicacies soothe you.
Chef Stephen Gomes, who was born in the heart of Mumbai into a family of master chefs, has created a menu that makes very sincere efforts to keep each dish true to its Indian roots. Only the best Indian herbs and spices are used - renowned for their digestive, medicinal and nutritional values as well as for their flavour. Begin your meal with an appetiser such as aloo tikki, which comprises pan-fried cakes of potato combined with split lentils, ginger and toasted cumin - a delightful fusion of tastes to warm your tastebuds - or try Moksh's innovative cheese, onion and spinach samosas, served with chickpea curry.
Outstanding main courses include kebabs that are cooked in a traditional charcoal-fired tandoor oven and served with stir-fried noodles and curry sauces of your choice. Try tutrani badak, a Rajasthani-origin breast of Barbary duck, marinated in red chilli paste and homemade spices - a perfect example of the level of authenticity Moksh offers. The selection of curry dishes is nothing short of impressive, with traditional favourites featuring inventive twists - including dhaansaak made using sliced shin of Welsh lamb for optimum flavour - and popular Indian accompaniments, rice and breads complete the perfect-meal picture. There are myriad vegetarian and gluten-free options, so nobody need go without, and you can rest assured no artificial colourings will find their way onto your plate. If you simply can't decide what to eat, the 'Gourmet Taster Meal', including a vegetarian option, offers samples of each of Stephen Gomes' finest dishes - a feast fit for an emperor. With a Welsh Food Hygiene Award under its belt, plus a Master Chef at the helm, Moksh is a restaurant that is sure to convince any doubters and fully satisfy any existing lovers of Indian cuisine.
