© Food & Drink Guide Offering wonderfully comfortable accommodation and impeccable service, The Globe Hotel is the perfect place to stay while exploring all that the southeast of England has to offer. The hotel is particularly well-placed if you are a fan of cricket, as the famous Castle Park cricket ground is just down the road. If youre more of a follower of good food, rest assured that The Globe Hotel offers a whole host of fantastic and authentic dishes at its restaurant, Mirchi Rasoi. Meaning chilli kitchen, the Mirchi Rasoi restaurant offers a variety of traditional Indian cuisine, both fiery and mild. The extensive menu gives interesting descriptions of the dishes and how they are cooked (did you know that the tandoori oven dates all the way back to 1500 BC?), as well as helpful guidelines regarding the spice levels of each meal. A fabulous and rather unusual starter is the tandoori duck; equally delicious, and meat-free, is the aloo tikka pan-fried potato cakes with garlic, ginger and chickpeas, served with a sweet and sour sauce. Popular mains include butter chicken and lamb rogan josh, but you really should try some of the more adventurous dishes such as tandoori ostrich, Malabar fish curry, and dum ka murg (chicken stuffed with spinach, cheese, cumin and coriander). Youll also find a large selection of vegetarian dishes; from the paneer tikka makhani to the channa masala full-on flavour and substance are guaranteed. A variety of authentic breads, rice dishes and condiments are also available to complete your meal. Alongside the usual selection of soft drinks, wines and beers, typical Indian drinks are available such as lassi, and rose sherbet (made with rose water, soda and lemonade). For a truly authentic Indian meal, look no further than Mirchi Rasoi at The Globe Hotel.
