Voujon
is a chic and stylish passage to India serving traditional Asian
cuisine in a modern Scottish environment. Traditional Indian food is
served in contemporary surroundings complete with crisp linen clad
tables, modern wood interiors, designer crockery and the menu is a
fusion of traditional Bengali recipes with influences from both East
and West.
The menu features
a number of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes including dhal puri
deep-fried pancakes, Akbori fish and lamb methi gost with fenugreek,
herbs and spices. Set dinner menus can be arranged for tables of two
- who can enjoy a spring chicken with all the trimmings (£39.95
for two) - or a table of four can order a whole leg of lamb as part
of a Viceroy's Feast (£79.95 for four). A wine list has been
carefully selected to compliment spicy food.
Voujon also
creates excellent homemade desserts, including Kulfi - frozen milk
with almonds - or fresh mangoes.
Voujon is unique
in its attempt to keep traditional Indian and Bengali traditions
alive in a modern Scottish environment. Handy cook evenings are held
throughout the year where a specially created menu is cooked in the
traditional way by female members of owner Selim Miah's family
(traditionally what would happen in the home).
