India is a country where roses are blossoming in the winter; people build luxurious palaces in honor of love and drink mango juice instead of water. If you want to take all the best things from there and bring it to the shore of the Neva-river, then you’d need to visit Orissa - an ideal corner of aristocratic India and a superb restaurant. Orissa offers its guests traditional Indian and Nepalese cuisines adjusted to the Northern conditions: dishes are not too spicy and the quality of the service is very European. You can choose to have chicken from tandoor, marinated in yogurt with lemon rice and bread, potatoes and cheese, homemade cheese with honey, mutton with cashew, cheese balls in sweet syrup and a beverage based on yogurt with fresh mango and Himalayan tea with milk and herbs.
