My Shanti by Vikram Vij in Surrey can’t be missed from the street – it has thousands of reflective mirrors decorating outside the building. Meant to take you on a culinary journey to India while right in Surrey, the dishes carefully crafted by Vij and the restaurant’s chefs represent the uniqueness of a particular region by mixing fine dining with home-cooked classics. If you stop in, be sure to try the chickpea battered cod pakoras for a twist on the favourite or stick to the classics with some paneer – cheese and green pepper smothered in a chilli curry masala.
