Dining Guide

Mughlai

The cool elegance of the room, with its marble floors and draped windows, makes one almost forget the lingering Texas heat outside. Paratha suffused with mint was a refreshing treat, and a cool (in both senses of the word) appetizer was the dahi baray, six savory lentil dumplings napped with seasoned yogurt. A Goan shrimp curry was mild as ordered and boasted succulent shrimp. The kheer, pleasingly smooth with a topping of pistachios, was the ultimate sweet comfort food.
