Guru Indian Restaurant

We recently took a trek to the far northeast to try the fare at Guru Indian Restaurant in Cityscape on the recommendation of a friend in the know. Chefs Kuldeep Singh Bisht, Rohit Kumar and Trivede Prasad bring impressive resumes to the table and opened this second location in 2022 with the first opening in Millrise in 2018. In a word, the meal was delicious. We loved the Pani Puri, featuring delicate, crispy hollow dough balls filled with a fragrant potato-and-chickpea filling with a sweet-and-sour tamarind chutney.

Served with a spicy mint pani puri water, which you pour over the puri, this dish offered a beautiful balance of crispy and creamy, sweet and tangy and just enough heat to make it interesting. pro tip: save the leftover water to sip after your meal to aid in digestion and freshen your breath! We also went out on a limb to try Guru’s popular Jaljeera Mojito: white rum, simple syrup, mint, soda and, of course jaljeera mix, which includes mint, ginger, coriander, cumin, salt, tamarind, amchur (dried mango powder) and lemon juice. It was unlike any cocktail we’ve had before and was earthy, spicy, savoury and refreshing. Best taken when it’s ice cold.
