Where you choose to take your taste buds to is up to you, be it the sprawling bazaars of Delhi, the lush green pastures of Kerala, or perhaps the golden sands of Goa. At Aranya, every evening is a new adventure and you're at the helm. Warm papadams dipped into fruity chutneys. Fluffy rice, perfumed with fragrant cardamon. Delicately spiced sauces that flood your palate with flavor. Whatever you choose, quintessential Indian flavors are creatively reimagined with an original Aranya twist.
• The Golden Lion: Sunday roasts with lashings of gravy. "Proper" pints served straight from the tap. Bloody Marys as red as the ship's funnels. If the day calls for classic British pub fare, look no further than Queen Victoria's Golden Lion. In this stylish yet casual watering hole, there's no need to dress formally nor book in advance. Even on Gala Evenings, relaxed dress is welcome.
