F.east

Food:

The vast range of North Indian dishes is prepared by Indian chefs using a genuine tandoori oven, so you know you are in good hands. Try delicious dishes such as a vegetarian platter with potato, cheese and corn samoosas; succulent mushrooms grilled in the tandoori oven; and paneer sashlik, which are marinated cottage cheese skewers. Order a generous butter naan and share irresistible shelled prawns marinated in a cumin, mustard and tomato sauce. Go on to one of the curries, either zoomed up to a really hot vindaloo with chicken or lamb, or go for the korma with a creamy nutty sauce, or madras if you like some bite without having to call the fire department. Do not miss the smoky and intense dhal makhani: black lentils, cooked slowly overnight in the tandoor, in a cream and tomato gravy.

Wine:

There’s a good list with something for most tastes, not too badly priced.

Service:

Excellent and welcoming service from knowledgeable staff.

Ambience:

The large room on the first floor overlooking busy Long Street, is somewhat antiseptic and a bit on the clinical side. It’s very modern, and obviously expensively furnished. The best place to be is on the very New Orleans balcony, watching the passing parade.

And...:

There is no wheelchair access, so if this is a concern, be aware. Parking, which is a major pain in Long Street, is available at the Pepper Club around the corner. (Greg Landman, March 2012)

Had the best curry ever at F.east! My friends and I had a wounderful time at F.east recently. We were welcomed by friendly staff, had a fantastic meal, met the chef and had great cocktails. We will definitely go back. Keep up the good work team!

Had dinner at F.east - my wife had the Butter Chicken and said it was the best she had had in ages. For a new restaurant the service was friendly and very efficient, food on par with the best. Keep it up.

Great meal at F.east. Great location in Long Street. My curry arrived very oily, within minutes the waiter had addressed the problem with the chef and it was replaced. The waiter was knowledgable and friendly. Will definitely go back.
