Marigold\u2019s Style<\/h4>\n

The interior is modern and uncluttered with warm splashes of Marigold orange from the leather chair upholstery, large amber water glasses and coloured glass light shades.<\/p>\n

The space is flooded with natural light during the day. Large floor to ceiling windows and doors are left wide open, welcoming in guests, and the sunny Franschhoek day, equally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Expertly designed by local interior decorator, Beverley Boswell, Marigold Restaurant shares the same sense of elegance and refinement\u00a0that features\u00a0across the Leeu Collection<\/a> group.<\/p>\n

Amazing Food at Marigold Restaurant in Franschhoek<\/h4>\n

The food, without doubt, consists of some of the best North Indian dishes you will find in South Africa. The base flavours of well-known Indian curries have been reinterpreted by chef Vanie Padayachee, keeping their authenticity\u00a0but presented in more refined and balanced plated dishes. Vanie has been involved in opening many restaurants, as well as a cooking school, and was, most recently, part of the culinary team at Le Quartier Fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n

A firm favourite on the Marigold menu is Palak Chaat \u2013 crispy spinach leaves in gram flour batter topped with sweetened curd, tamarind, chilli and onion. The light, tempura-like texture and deliciously spiced flavour of the batter complemented by the sweetness of the curd and tamarind, makes this dish unmissable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paneer is often a good test of the authenticity and quality of any Indian restaurant\u2019s kitchen. Marigold Restaurant\u2019s paneer is incredibly good with a perfectly soft texture. The paneer has well absorbed Indian spices, yoghurt, cream cheese and the smokey flavours of the tandoor.<\/p>\n

Drinks Selection<\/h4>\n

Mullineux Wines (part of the Leeu Collection<\/strong><\/a>) pair excellently with the spicy upfront dishes. The Mullineux Kloof Street Chenin with its soft floral notes and crisp clean minerality complements and integrates well with the strong and complex flavours of Indian dishes. The subtle textures and drinkability of the Mullineux Swartland Rouge worked really well with the rich, full-bodied curries which followed.<\/p>\n

Thali \u2013 Indian-style Tapas<\/h4>\n

Great dining experiences are often those that are shared and Thali is exactly that. A combination of small plates offers plenty of exotic flavours that can be soaked up with your naan. This all works beautifully if you don\u2019t mind sharing your Murg Makhani (butter chicken) with your dining partners. However, you may find that once you’ve\u00a0taken your first mouthful of tender tandoori chicken and masala gravy,\u00a0 you may not want to share it!<\/p>\n

The concept of thali allows you to taste more dishes in one sitting and menu items include dishes like the robust Mutton Rogan Josh, vibrant vegetable dahls and accompanying Indian salads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
