It's also not surprising to spot numerous non Asians amongst their patrons who know the food is deliciously spiked with the right proportion of spices.

Typical starters could include fish cutlets or crab claws while vegetarians will enjoy the various types of vadais that are so popular in South India. Don't miss the Sri Lankan specialities such as devilled squid or the string hoppers with sambol. The curries at Palm Palace are also exciting, particularly the mutton Ceylon that can be perfectly scooped up with parathas or rotis.

What started as a mere 36-seater, has gone on to become a renowned restaurant with space for 250 people and has emerged as one of Southall's favourite venues for Indian cuisine. Brilliant Restaurant, in Western Road, is the brain child of brothers Kewal and Gula Anand who demonstrate their expertise in creating delicious North Indian fare, particularly Punjabi food, with an interesting Kenyan slant. Rust orange and dark brown seems to be the predominant theme in the decor, capturing the earthy tones of the food from the sub continent in a modern fashion.

Fresh ingredients and zesty spices come together in a glorious fusion of flavours, bringing starters such as tender lamb chops marinated in nutmeg, garlic and cardamom, roasted in a clay oven, followed by a main course of minced chicken cooked in a dry sauce, seasoned with homemade garam masala. At Brilliant, seafood options such as karahi prawns are also an excellent choice, with king prawns tossed with fresh red and green capsicums. Finish with a warm dessert of grated carrots reduced in milk and topped with almonds.
