Macau
Michelin-crowned Golden Peacock has a long and well-curated menu that covers all parts of India. Much thought is put into ingredient sourcing; spices and pickles are prepared in-house – and it shows. Dishes often surprise the palate in a pleasant way – the creamy Navratan korma or nine-gem curry stars French walnut oil, Himachal apple and Indian baby cucumber.
Another refreshing feature is that vegetarian options here outnumber the non-veg.
