possessed an aura of mystery and mystique. In ancient and medieval history, pearls were religious symbols of purity, harmony

humility and the gift of life, and were endowed with great magical and medicinal properties. As gems of rare beauty,

they have been the favourites of royalty in courts all over the world. Today, pearls are not only gems of romance and the poignancy

of love, rich in meaning and sentiment; they are also used in medicine. The dishes here at the Pearl of India Restaurant are among the

finest in Indian cuisine, dating back to the days of Moghul rulers and Maharajahs (around 1300 A.D.). Their choice, quality and taste make
