LHR to BOM F late March
Pressed Shoulder of lamb tarragon jus, carrot purée and caramelised onion
Matar Paneer jeera pilau tamarind okra
Butter chicken in a rich tomato sauce with butter almond and spices with black lentil dam and pea pilau
Fillet of Halibut British crab bisque buttered samphire
Please can anybody advise me what to have - I presume the Lamb is braised, has anybody tried it? Thank you - I am veering towards either lamb chicken or fish? I normally go for the curries but they really kill the wines

I do find it disappointing that BA's starters are all meat-free these days, so I tend to choose the beef. However I imagine the balti would be the best tasting option.

Thank you I love the sound of the halibut but they do have a rather nice sounding claret which would kill the fish and be murdered by either curry! Hey ho I have a bit of time to cogitate

Prawns AND nuts in two of the starters. They're trying to kill us all (those of us with allergies anyway).

TTmex what kind of veg was it if you remember? I assumed it would have been paneer base and not going to lie, I'm a tad picky when it comes to veg haha
From what I could work out, on the side were some Okra or something similar. They were truly delicious.
The paneer sat on top of the curry and I seem to remember onion, cauliflower and some carrott or sweet potato or something like that. No mushrooms thankfully.
