For 10 years now, loyal patrons from Paarl have dished up their favourite local authentic Indian cuisine at Moksh restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entrepreneur from Mumbai, India, and sole owner of all eight Moksh restaurants across the Western Cape Sunil Krishnan not only celebrates a decade of business, but 20 years of \u201cblissful\u201d living in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His success lies in promising guests an authentic taste of north Indian cuisine in places such as Welgelegen, Somerset West, Kenilworth, Haasendal, Milnerton and West Beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These spots are all staffed by professional chefs all the way from India, preparing a wide range of authenticity that offers something for everyone \u2013 from seafood to meat dishes \u2013 and even vegetarian meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Order a dish of the chicken or lamb korma, both served with basmati rice, naan bread or poppadoms. Old favourites such as samoosas, garnaalkerrie<\/span> or lamb biryani are also on the menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be it a dash or a dozen, Moksh treats you to savoury clay-oven dishes and exotic curries. They cater especially for families and prepare each individual meal just the way you like it: mild, medium or hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Come private functions, birthdays and corporate functions, their doors are open to offer their spicy specialities in Pastorie Avenue, Central Paarl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchen also boasts an authentic tandoor oven, probably the only one of its kind in Paarl and surrounds. This is a clay pit in which a fire is made, and it is heated to a very high temperature, about 400 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Naan breads (flat breads) are also baked in this oven, with rounds of flat dough thrown onto the inside wall of the oven and needing only to bake for a minute until done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moksh also offers the option of a buffet, vegetarian or halaal meal. For dessert there is kheer, a popular Indian rice pudding, or vermicelli pudding, Gulab Jamun and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This traditional family restaurant has flourished despite disrupting challenges brought on by the covid pandemic, but Krishnan counts his blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was a tough front for us during the pandemic, but we\u2019ve been blessed by our loyal patrons. It\u2019s something I want to give back to my returning guests \u2013 it\u2019s because of them that I celebrate this milestone today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMoksh has always shared strong personal relationships with its customers, so much so my number is always available on the website, and I am directly accessible to all the branches. If you ever have a problem with anything that happens at Moksh you are welcome to pick up the phone and contact me directly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Krishnan guarantees value for money, fresh food, quality and excellent service. He says it\u2019s the kind of principles he has in common with his South African clientele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSouth Africans are very loving and caring people, and they are very loyal if you can give them honest, good-quality service. That\u2019s why we say at Moksh, the honesty lies in our ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The restaurant also offers a wide range of wines, supporting local wineries such as Laborie, Rhebokskloof and other cellars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He is looking at expanding into the CBD soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moksh Paarl is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 12:00 to 22:00. On Sundays it is open from 12:00 to 17:00, and 16:00 to 22:00 on Mondays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 2 Pastorie Avenue, Paarl.
