Fodor's Expert Review Pani Indian Kitchen

In every respect, from the decor to the cuisine, Pani is a joyous celebration of street food from around the subcontinent, with haute gloss. The space breathtakingly creates an Indian street bazaar indoors: bamboo-and-burlap awnings, billowing multihue fabric, representations of such deities as Ganesha, a wall of dyed tea bags, and huge brass tandoor urns in the open kitchen. Among the many standouts (with just the right amount of heat, which the restaurant will happily adjust) are prawn tandoori, wonderfully complex savory chaats, lentil dosas (crepes), and paneer butter masala. The vast vegetarian options are good enough to convert the most ardent carnivores, and the express lunch is one of Cayman's best bargains.
