Itihaas Restaurant (City Centre)

• Is why a recent trip to the new Itihaas restaurant food stall in Selfridges was doubly disappointing
• The strength of the new outfit is its location
• Were also stuffed with potato and chickpeas
• Both of us were underwhelmed
• The curries themselves were unexceptional
• The entrance at the street level has a very Indian decor with ornate handcrafted stone and wood artifacts amidst a profusion of indoor greenery
• We were greeted by the restaurant manager and were ushered to a table with a view of the canal beside the property
• Quick and easy vegetarian meal we were encouraged to try out the Shahi Palak Paneer and Tadka Dal
• The food was absolutely fresh and delicious and was an instant hit
• Something I was very familiar with in Delhi
• We had a hearty meal and were surprised to be presented with a bill comparable to good Delhi restaurant standards
• We ordered a starter each from the indo chinese section of the menu but were not disappointed
• The dishes were very tasty and full of tantalising flavour
• A sharing main with peshwari naan
• Came here recently with a couple of friends at their Bullring outlet
• Quantity of the biryani was a good amount (2 people easily) and was alright for the place we were and the price we were paying
• Wrapped in a naan bread along with veggies and tikka chicken inside my friend couldn't even finish it completely
• I must say it was the best Indian food I have had since I came to England
• Starting from the menu which gave me major India feels with papad and a signature accompanying mint chutney
• Smooth and tender Paneer Makhani with real paneer instead of tofu and creamy Dal Makhani to amazingly soft butter naan
• Everything about Itihaas is as Indian as you can get in England
• I visited itihaas twice and both were amazing experience
