Voted in the BIBA Top 100 in 2002, this large restaurant brings back memories of Southampton's glory days of plus liners to New York - hence the name. It has one of the longest bars you are likely to see in an Indian restaurant and is spacious and comfortable. The resident pianist and singer add to the atmosphere and it is perfect for the regular family visit or for that special occasion, big party to enjoy the sumptious buffet.
