Poppy

We had a wonderful dinner date with our first visitor last night. We took the lovely Miss Anna (who just happened to be in town for business) to a new restaurant called Poppy. Poppy’s specialty is the “thali” –which is basically a large platter with a lot of little dishes of awesome. The platter last night included: Carrot soup with star anise and cinnamon, shrimp, endive and grapefruit salad, four-seed chickpea salad, black cod with beet wasabi sauce and burdock, berkshire pork ribs with pear, parsnip and sunchoke, yukon gold potatoes and cashews with clove and cardamom, yam and sesame fritter, cauliflower gratin, fennel pickle and nigella naan. We also decided to get the wine thali and dessert thali. It was delicious and the company was delightful.
