Came across Sahebs (#01-01 Claymore Connect, 442 Orchard Road, tel : +65 9855 4794) recently and thought their menu looked interesting.
Mango lassi which the menu mention had saffron that we couldn't taste any of. Pretty sweet.
This was curry leaf & shrimp popcorn. From the size of the bugs, they were more like full fledged prawn popcorn. Breaded and pretty good munching. These paired pretty well with the spicy mint/coriander chutney and that other sauce which was described as garlic cream chutney. Pretty sure the latter had yoghurt in it.
Tried their pind da saag which aside from spinach also supposedly contains mustard greens. The restaurant also mentioned fenugreek so I'm a little confused here. Flavour was earthier than the usual palak dishes, equally creamy in texture but not as rich tasting. We were recommended to eat it with makki ki roti. I don't understand why but we did.
Rara gosht was something we discovered back in Omar Shariff. Think lamb keema masala with chunks of lamb. Or a tomato-y Indian spiced lamb bolognese. Unlike the rendition from Omar Shariff, this one wasn't nutty but had a pleasant tomato flavour infused with rendered lamb fat. Nice. Those chunks of lamb in this were also pretty tender.
Tadka dal - yellow lentil stew. Looked red because of the chilli oil which was just on the surface. What's beneath looked like regular dal. This one was well done. The ghee and cumin made it. I was on the verge of disappointment when I detected bits of coriander in it but thankfully, they were sparse enough and not as intensely flavoured that I could ignore them.
Nice Kashmiri naan. 👍🏼 Maraschino cherries and cheese on the outside, crush nuts and something else on the inside. Not sure what that something else was but they reminded me of dates.
Butter naan and the previously mentioned makki ki roti.
Okay-ish saffron rice - I'm sure it was meant to go with the gravies and that would probably be the logical reason why it's very lightly salted. But I'm not impressed. I liked this the least of all the food we've ordered.
Masala chai's forgettable here. Their masala was kinda underwhelming.
