The menu, in the form of an old traveler's map and diary, is a treasure trove of exciting Asian dishes. Start by sharing an appetizer platter -- among the superb array are chicken/prawn spring roll, chicken/shrimp siu mai, satay chicken, and raw papaya salad with lime, mint, and basil, served with a selection of dips. Or two of you can share the platter of spring rolls from across Southeast Asia: Vietnamese rice-paper rolls, fried rice-paper rolls with crab, deep-fried mango and prawn rolls, bean-curd and chicken rolls -- you name it, they roll it. But the hands-down favorite, certainly with locals who want to sample as much as possible of the extensive menu, is the "India Jones Grand Platter": an appetizer assortment; soup (tom kha or chicken and coriander); and a platter of green chicken curry, wok-fried prawns, stir-fried sea bass with celery, barbecued pork with honey, wok-fried mixed vegetables in black-peppercorn sauce -- and the list goes on. At Rs 3,100 ($76/£43) for two, it's pricey, but it's a feast that will leave you bursting. For the not-so-ravenous, there's plenty more: the Wok Platter (also highly recommended), live seafood (try the grouper in soy-ginger broth), and a separate teppanyaki counter controlled by chef Wikant. As expected of any Oberoi restaurant, the service and decor are exemplary.
