About

Purple Poppadom pairs contemporary Indian cooking with a smart dining room and a la carte dishes alongside a seven-course tasting menu. Vegan-marked curries such as Bombay aloo and chana masala, plus rice and tandoori roti, make it a good choice for mixed-diet groups; reviews describe prices as a splurge and service as usually warm, though one visit reported a very long wait.
