More than 10 of these Indian eateries are dotted around town, but this outpost in Al Seef with its cobbled courtyard has to be the prettiest. Originating from Bikaner in India, Bikanervala has been going for five decades, perfecting the art of curry, tandoori and chaat. Try the paneer kadai wala for thick spicy gravy and creamy cottage cheese.
