Stepping into Papadoms Restaurant felt like unlocking a treasure trove of rich flavors—and their menu lives up to the promise. The Keema selection immediately caught my eye: the Keema Korai delivers hearty minced meat bathed in a silky, medium‑spicy tomato‑onion gravy, perfectly offset by fragrant coriander. The Keema Chilli Masala kicks things up a notch—zesty green chilies and bold spices deliver a playful burn that lingers. For a comforting twist, the Cheesy Keema Cuisine Special is pure indulgence: melting cheese melding seamlessly into savory keema, creamy yet deeply aromatic. The regal Nawabi Keema, with its subtle hints of saffron and cream, whispers luxury with each bite.
Moving on to the Authentic Bengal lineup, the Rajothi (choice of chicken or lamb) treats the palate to robust, earth‑flavored spices and succulent, well‑marinated cuts. The Hari Mirchi Bhuna grabs attention immediately—green chillies infuse such vibrant heat that it challenges even the spice‑savviest, while the richly coated meat remains tender. The Bengal Jalfrezi brings bright, crisp bell peppers and onions in a tangy sauce that lifts the whole dish. For the bold, the Naga (again, a chicken or lamb option) is unapologetically fiery, embodying northeastern India’s signature chilies. The Achari version bursts with pickling spice aromas that are both piquant and nostalgic.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the Fish Bhuna, Korai, Jalfrezi, and Fish Naga—each offering nuanced layers: from sweet caramelized onions to punchy Naga chili heat, the fish remains flaky and fresh.
Their Biryani is another standout: whether classic chicken or lamb, charred tikka, king prawn, or a tantalizing mixed‑tikka combo, each grain is infused with saffron, warm spices, and studded with tender meat or prawns. The Balti range—chicken, lamb, vegetable, prawn, king prawn, and keema—offers a rich, slightly thick curry that’s perfect for scooping with naan.
For something different, the menu features gems like Garlic Chicken/Lamb, aromatic Rezala, tangy Darjeeling, rustic Kachi, and hearty Chapa—each dish delivering its own regional twist.
Whether you crave comfort, heat, or complexity, Papadoms hits every note—every dish showcasing care, tradition, and bold personality.
