The dining room is like a living work of art: replete with handmade furnishings amidst beautiful décor showcasing the sights, sounds and scents of the finest of Indian society. Relaxed and pampered by attentive staff, surrounded by opulence and luxury, you'll feel yourself transported into an exclusive club in the heart of Mumbai. You'll sense the ambiance in "Ambiance of India" right at the front door: their signs are created of wood gathered from India's ancient railroad tracks. This is an Indian dining room like no other. Opened in October, this amazing restaurant is the vision fulfilled of Mississauga businessman Manoj Sharma's culinary passion: "All of my life I have loved to cook and entertain. Now it's my life's work! Every day I can meet people, entertain them, and enjoy their company in the perfect environment." The menu features a mouthwatering selection of Tandoori repasts bathed in exquisite homemade sauces. To ensure the authenticity of his culinary masterpiece, Sharma traveled to Rajasthan in northwest India to gather unique furnishings and accent pieces that would embody the rich cultural heritage he has known and loved. He returned to Canada with an amazing collection of Indian pieces including murals, hand carved teak furniture, intricate teak wallpanels, decorative pieces of hammered copper from Kathmandu, even cutlery and condiment shakers. Ambiance of India is like a living work of art. His most striking investment however, is the genuine Tandoor ovens. These traditional cylindrical ovens lined with six inches of clay allow heat to penetrate food very gradually, creating meals that are very tender and less greasy. Tandoor is the finest of Indian cuisine, and here it is authentic and very healthy. Ambiance of India's real Tandoori kitchen specializes in a great assortment of Indian favourites like Fish Tikka, Mint Chicken Tikka, and of course, world famous Tandoori Chicken. Each meal is accompanied by house-baked Naan bread and a fresh salad. Naan bread baked to order on the hot clay wall of the Tandoor oven is like no other bread in the world. True Indian cuisine also features meals that are perfect for vegetarians: Spinach Paneer, a stew of spinach and chunks of cheese; Aloo Gobi, a flavourful combination of cauliflower florets and potatoes sautéed in fresh ginger, garlic, and tomato sauce; and Dal Makhani, a creamy black lentil specialty cooked in a charcoal oven and seasoned with heady Indian spices. Sharma adorns all of his tables with a candle and a fresh flower on a decorative brass plate. Kay Dhaliwal, one of the restaurants' partners explains: "In India, all of our visitors are treated in a very special way. Really this is more than decoration; it's a personal expression of appreciation." Sharma further explains: "Ambiance of India embodies the recipes and Indian traditions I have grown up with. Our menu faithfully represents regional favourites that my family has enjoyed from across India. Real Indian spice is very subtle. It is designed to accommodate the tastes and preferences of many diners. We cook to suit the individual pallet of every guest," says Sharma smiling. Ambiance of India is open for lunch or dinner for a casual meal or special occasion. Finally... Fine Indian Dining in Your Neighborhood! $ OVER TO B N PRIZESONE WINS!
