Unleash Flavorful Traditions at Hidden Gem
Ah, stroll into Gifto's in Southall and you might just mistake it for a charming Punjabi enclave rather than a restaurant. With its lively decor, abuzz with the aroma of rich spices, it’s a veritable assault on the senses—but in the most delightful way. Over my recent jaunt, the vibe was enveloping, compounded by the warmth of the staff. Salim, the maestro of customer service, made sure every whim was meticulously catered to, while Shehzad deservedly drew kudos for being intriguingly adept at orchestrating the perfect dining experience.Onward to the main event — the food, oh the food! Bettors in tradition flaunt dishes like the Magaz Masala which envelopes you in grand tapestries of age-old flavor—a brain dish masterfully executed. Tandoori fare sings of perfect char marks and tantalizing spices that seem to have been dosed out with alchemic precision. Sure, some modern mishaps like the soggy papri chaat might sneak in occasionally, but when your Nihari transports you back several generations, such errors seem manageable. Add to that a perfect jug of their fabulous mango lassi, and you’ve concocted a night that far exceeds your typical curry house fare. Here’s to immortal cravings and dedicating another visit in the calendar for this delightful culinary meander. — Milo Tastemaker
