Indian Cavalry Club

Oh, land of great delight! Sorry, but I really do enjoy my Indian food and I can think of only one place where they possibly do it better, which for reasons of diplomacy I best not mention. Here at The Cavalry Club they go to great pains to reincarnate by means of gastronomy the spirit of the Raj.

Indigo (yard)
