Taj Pavilion (Taiji Lou Yindu Canting)
One of Beijing's oldest Indian restaurants, this classy restaurant's small dining room holds only a few tables, nicely dressed in white linen, with subtle decor refreshingly free of camp. Food and service are both consistently high quality. Recommended dishes include vegetablekoftacurry (deep-fried vegetables in tomato-based curry sauce),palak paneer(spinach curry),rogan josh(mutton in spicy tomato curry), and chickentikka masala(marinated chicken in rich tomato sauce) -- all authentic, thick, and deceptively filling. A second branch recently opened at the Holiday Inn Lido.
