Think “India meets Wolfgang Puck” and you’re close to Vindalho. It’s across the main drag from Bullseye Glass, sorta squeezes past our affordability rule, a semi-chichi place with very good Indofusion food. That means you’ll find rosewater in your salty lassi (not a great choice) and samosas made with pumpkin.

Food-wise, the carrot soup was delicious, they had a seared ahi tandoori tuna that was magnificent and I very much liked my prawns. The breads (a critical part of any Indian restaurant) are pretty good. The four of us paid about $110 with tip (and we didn’t order booze or dessert) and had enough food left over to feed a couple of doggy bags.
