When you want to splurge on a fine dining experience, Santoor lives up to your expectations. Opened by the owners of the neighboring Chili's (no relation to the American restaurant chain), Santoor offers an intimate and luxurious atmosphere with taste-tempting Indian dishes.
From the time you sit down, expect to be waited upon by a team of servers. We started with the vegetable fritters, which were delicious. We then had a korma and a biryani dish - also delicious. The dishes were nicely seasoned for our tastes. However, for those who do not welcome a lot of spicy-heat, include a healthy portion of the cooling yogurt-based raita with your meal. (You might also want to have a large glass of water handy!) We ended the meal with dessert, rashomalai and golab jamon. As expected the desserts were sweet with the subtle flavor of cardamom.
Based upon our experience at Santoor - and our experience was not unusual according to friends - we highly recommend Santoor for those seeking top-of-the-line dining in Dhaka.
