Rajput Indian Cuisine Description:
The ever-attentive restaurateur Paul Chhabra introduced much of Hampton Roads to masala, curry, tandoori and other Indian delights when he opened Rajput in Hampton. He consistently delivers quality food and gracious service since moving his beautifully decorated dining room to Norfolk. Rajput rolls out remarkable buffets as well as a large menu with more than 300 dishes of delicately prepared seafood, lamb, beef and vegetarian entrées from chicken makhni (simmered in tomato cream sauce and a touch of butter) to lamb madras (cooked with onion sauce, tamarind and coconut). There's even a complete vegan menu. Dishes are mildly seasoned, so specify if you'd like to have the heat turned up. A favorite starter is the Rajput Assortment, featuring chicken tikka, vegetable samosas and vegetable pakoras. As is often the case with Indian fare, sauces and chutneys can make the meal, and these are first-rate. Salads, such as the kachamber salad of cucumber and tomatoes, are a delightfully cool contrast to the warm spices. Desserts are limited, but try the mango kulfi, homemade mango ice cream, or gulab juman, sweet pastry balls in honey syrup. Periodic cooking classes are fascinating, sell-out affairs.
