In line with 2012’s Top 12 Food Finds, here we have my Top 13 Delicious Dining Discoveries of 2013. Let’s kick off this series and see whether your favourites are here …

13. TANDOOR GRILL  – Best of North Indian Cuisine @ Ipoh

Hands down one of the biggest (literally) & most pleasant surprise that has hit Ipoh in the recent years; the opening of Tandoor Grill in Greentown breathed new life to the North Indian cuisine scene in Ipoh. Trailblazing a few firsts in Ipoh; namely pairing authentic Indian cuisine with wines, injecting a certain finesse to the dining experience and allocating a venue large enough for a wedding banquet, Tandoor Grill tops it all with excellent rendition of North Indian fares thanks to the ensemble of capable hands in the kitchen. Try their signature mocktails, succulent Tandoori chicken with fluffy Garlic Naan, Hyderabad Gosht Biryani and their fabulous Kulfi.
