www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday July 11, 2008 - 39 Experience exceptional Indian cuisine at The Painted Elephant Fine dining the Indian way. It's a medley of enjoying flourishes of great savoury spices with textures to spare. The Painted Elephant's executive chef and owner Iz Ahmed has made a successful marriage of modern Indian cuisine by combining the tried and true heritage of Indian spices with the freshest of locally available ingredients. Located on 218 Lakeshore Rd. E., at Trafalgar and Lakeshore Road, the Painted Elephant has become a Mecca for the lunch and dinner crowd, as well as the after work and dance crew craving a world class cocktail and musical entertainment in the lounge, the sedate set seeking takeout food and party folk in need of interesting catering fare. Banquet broods are also welcome to use the restaurant's semi-private and main dining room, which is suited for up to 20 people, or the lower level banquet spot where the capacity is 110. A year-round five-course pre fixe dinner menu is a popular draw between Monday and Friday. Priced at $40 it lets one's tastebuds explore as much of the exotic Indian flavours as possible over the span of one meal. "The Painted Elephant is a new kind of Indian restaurant that takes its inspiration from an age-old approach to dining," said Ahmed. Dinner is designed to be an experience in sharing the love of real Indian food. "Eating real Indian food is a celebration of life," said Ahmed. Sampling from fellow diners' plates is encouraged at The Painted Elephant. Creamy masala, butter chicken, pilaf or jewelled rice, poppadums, lamb roganjosh and rice pudding with dried fruits and Rooh Afza Sharbat for dessert are among the succulent menu options. "We're especially big on communal eating and it's a very sociable way to discover the bevy of this culture's sensuous flavours," added Ahmed.
