Anokaa Restaurant Description
Prejudice is a terrible thing. If you had told me that one of the most attractive Indian restaurants in the south-west was to be found in the cathedral city of Salisbury, you would have found me lacking in conviction. I mean what would have Deans and Bishops past have thought of whiffs of the Orient wafting round the lanes and closes of their ecclesiastical city. In fact they might well have said, "jolly good, how soon do they open after Evensong?" and how perceptive of them to ask. For Anokaa offers serious Indian food against a background of oriental glitter, smooth service and a well-justified air of confidence.
Head Chef is Puwan Kumar, well able to respond to the Anglo-Indian craving for the best of what has been termed as The Anokaa Revolution, and a former exponent of his art at The Taj Mahal Hotel in Lucknow.
Consider starters of crab cake with ginger, basil and fennel seeds, or chicken breast pieces dusted with garlic, mint, green chilli and coriander, then lightly grilled, or a lamb rump kebab marinated with red wine and spices, then barbecued served with juicy skewed mince of lamb.
Main courses include king prawn delight, king prawns lightly barbecued then cooked in caramelised onions and cinnamon and finished in almond based saffron sauce served with lemon rice, or sea bass with garlic spiced spinach served on a bed of yoghurt sauce.
As well as wine list that would tickle the most critical clerical palate there is the customary selection of beers and soft drinks. For myself I believe that the genuine article in Indian cuisine is well worthy of the wines of another continent, or maybe even its own, notably those from the Maharashtra state.
Your Reviews of Anokaa Restaurant
Sally Willoughby (4 August 2009)
I would like to advice that we had our company Christmas bash here in 2008 which was fantastic even with a fully booked restaurant, great food, service and attention to detail. I was on an extreme diet at the time and nothing was too much trouble and did not feel awkward at all. I have taken several of my friends and my husband there and every time service and food has been fantastic. All I can say is thank you Anokaa for providing consistent service and excellent quality of food.

I am a very busy man by profession and don’t have the time to write comments, but I want you all to know this. Last weekend we were entertaining two of my guests from France. I was a bit worried when they asked to sample Indian food. My daughter’s teacher who was in the house suggested we try Anokaa, where I have never been before. As we entered through the doors the place was full of punters. The manager accommodated us perfectly, and I was very impressed that a restaurant in such a small town could be so professional. We sat down and glanced through the menu. It took me a long time and I was very indecisive, the menu is too tempting. My guests were ready to order and finally the food arrived. Wow, what can I say, even the French were shocked, an Indian restaurant with such glamour. Every single mouth was tasty. I personally recommend you all to pay a visit, and this should be one of the things you must do before you die.
