Had a lovely time at Soho Tapas Bar last night. Cosy and dimly lit (perfect for a quiet birthday dinner), the place was fairly full for a weekday.
For drinks, we tried the Cosmo Fizz (Vodka, Triple Sec, Cranberry juice), Negroni (Campari, Gin, Vermouth) and some beers. Both the cocktails were impeccably made. Had Negroni for the first time, and loved it.
In Small Plates, the Quinoa and Risotto Arancini Balls lived up to the many recommendations it received. The Chipotle Cottage Cheese, had hardly, or no Chipotle, and was just cottage cheese tossed in the usual tangy BBQ sauce. Although palatable, it was not something I was expecting. The flavourful veg and cheese filling of the Quesadillas was brilliant.
The highlight of the meal was the Inspirational Veg Lasagne Kolhapuri Style. It was outstanding! (Appam Lasagne layered with Kohlapuri Style Stew, topped with cheese). Initially I thought it might just be an attempt to create a fancy fusion dish.. nevertheless ordered it, and wasn't disappointed one bit. The filling between the appam layers was mind blowing, perfectly spicy and just the right flavours. I'd visit Soho again just to have this! The other half called for the Greek Veg Tangy Stew with Quinoa and Couscous Medley and loved it as well.
With no place for desserts, we called it an evening. One hearty meal at a place that's@ already calling for a second visit.
A point to note is that Soho refers to 'tapas' as the small plates they serve which are inspired by the food of India, South-East Asia, Mexico, Middle East and Europe, and not in its strictest 'Spanish' sense.
