Naar (again) .. because it is truly one of the world’s great restaurants.
I wrote in February that Naar is India’s greatest ever restaurant. But I kept wondering if I was guilty of hyperbole. Was it just the surprise and wonder and magic of first impressions and fresh experiences? Or was it more permanent? I went to do another meal to see if it still had the same impact 8 months later. I thought let’s go and eat and if the food is still as good, I’ll post about it on Instagram. Sharjen | lamb, nettle leaf And yet here I am. I have never written about a restaurant twice in one year. Because it’s stupid and superfluous and repetitive and pointless. And yet here I am. Because that’s how great Naar is.

His restless spirit and curious mind seem to have found some sort of serenity in the hills. It’s as technical and creative as ever but it feels like he has nothing to prove, no rules to follow. It’s crazy
