Food
Roz Ana
Kingston
Roz Ana – in Hindi it literally means “come every day” – and it is tempting. With a charming and eye-catching exterior, and a cosy, warm interior, the atmosphere is perfect before you’ve already taken your first bite. Highlights of the menu include the appetiser of traditional minced lamb seekh kahabs with green chillies, ginger and cardamom, and an amazing chicken makhani – Tandoori chicken on the bone smothered in a creamy tomato sauce. Book a table this weekend for a special night out.
