| newly opened Indian Restaurant at the Holiday Inn City Stars |
| The newly opened Indian Restaurant Indira at the Holiday Inn City Stars is about to claim its star on the walk of fame of the Indian Cuisine of the Cairene eatery. In a subtle and cozy atmosphere, without the cliché of a smoky and burgundy ambience of many Indian restaurants, the food is clearly the protagonist.
Similar to all oriental kitchens’, a strong emphasis is on the appetizers, that are just a warm up for the great main dishes to follow. The Vegatable Samosa is a sambosak-like pastry filled with potatoes and green peas which is just tasty.
Directly from the Indian clay oven; Tandoori Murgh, chicken marinated in homemade yoghurt and saffron, is a must for any Indian connoisseur as well as the Tandoori Prawns that are deliciously marinated in Ginger and Turmeric.
Among the curries the Chicken Curry is a feast for the taste buds and simply divine. Biryani, a traditional Indian dish that comes in many kinds is a must try. The Gosht Biryani, slowly cooked boneless lamb with basmati rice spiced with a rich stock and cumin is excellent, make sure to try it.
Overall, Indira is a great Indian food experience and should be included in your short list. The set-up is modern with a private dining room upon request as well as an open cooking station.
