Reviews in City

This is mainly a City lunchtime place which stands out because of the fantastically fresh ingredients; which are all prepared freshly on the premises. The food is great value given the quality. Reasonably priced and well selected wines too.

I WAS IN CANTALOUPE FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST WEEK. I had a great time! food was really good ( had a selection of tapas with my girlfriend) the sofa area at the back was comfy and inviting, and I found the service smiley and helpful. What a cool place!

Kasturi offers the best Indian food in the City. Great dishes that you can rarely find elsewhere and the service is always with a smile. They regularly have special events and they offer a service where you can book to go into the kitchen and watch your meal cooked on Mondays and Tuesdays if you book in advance. Highly recommended.

You must try this place, it is a real gem. The food was delicious, beautifully presented & very reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back & soon!

This is a great place! The food is very fresh, the jasmine tea is divine. And eat as much as you like for £5

Great location with a fab eating / bar area outside with views across the city.Food excellent, Sunday lunch set menu good. Live jazz music sometimes played to add to the atmosphere.

Located within a row of shops at the heart of the City, Mehek's diners could be in for a surprise on their first visit. The doors lead to a glitzy bar covering almost half of the front portion of the restaurant before opening out to a considerable dining area at the back. Diners were, unsurprisingly, mostly City-types and the restaurant was busy even early in the week. Mehek's décor and atmosphere match the restaurant's clients - this is a sterile, clean, contemporary, luxurious and sophisticated city space. The main dining room features neutral colours with terracotta being predominant and ?orokas?(antique wooden panels) hanging on the walls. Mehek boasts an intriguing, well-crafted Indian menu that raises expectation. The starters are reasonably priced from £3 to £7, with main courses ranging from £7 to £15. Of most interest were the house specialities like Hash Hyderabadi (marinated duck with sesame seeds, coconut and peanut sauce). But the star of the evening was undoubtedly the Boro Chingri Pardanashi (top-drawer king prawns, £14.90, cooked in a mild curry and served inside a fresh coconut), with high standard breads and rice to accompany. An exceptional taste, this dish is highly recommended for seafood fans. Ordinarily, Indian restaurants are not known for their wine selections, but at Mehek, connoisseurs can select from a respectable menu ranging from £12 upwards. The 2003 Santa Isabel Argentinian Malbec, a snip at £17 a bottle, with deliciously fruity flavour complimented the spices of the food. A second, more extensive wine list is available on demand for those with corporate credit cards. With friendly and attentive staff, Mehek is a diverting experience in the Moorgate area. Whether you want to play it safe with familiar dishes or push the boat out and be a little adventurous, Mehek likely has the dish for you.
