It further said, "Anand long ago dubbed his cuisine ‘progressive Indian', and while many nods to his home culture - like the use of Indian spices and herbs and reinterpretations of traditional dishes, street food in particular - remain on the 20-course menu, the food also carries signals and influences from Japan, France, Thailand and beyond."

"The plating is a riot of colours and a jumble of textures. Be prepared to experience explosions in your mouth, to eat with your hands and to attack one dish with only your tongue," it concluded.
