Taj Mahal INDIAN $$
( 242-356-3004; 48 Parliament St; mains $16-38; lunch & dinner) British expats
claim that wood-paneled Taj Mahal serves the city's best Indian food. Lucky they didn't
have to move from their bar stools to find it - the restaurant assumed the dark, clubby space
formerly known as Green Shutters Restaurant & Pub, a very English watering hole. Look
for tandoori dishes, curries and rice specialties.
Athena Cafe GREEK $$
(cnr Bay & Charlotte Sts; mains $15-35; breakfast & lunch 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri, to
4pm Sun) Locals have a love-hate affair with this cozy Greek cafe perched tightly over the
bustling Bay and Charlotte Sts intersection. The authentic Greek food may be scrumptious
(try the grilled octopus!), but $15 for a gyro? Pass the ouzo, take another bite and blame the
just-off-the-boat cruise-ship crowd. Enter through the jewelry store.
Café Skan's BAHAMIAN, AMERICAN $$
(cnr Bay & Frederick Sts; mains $7-23; breakfast, lunch & dinner) Typically stretched to
its deep-fried seams, this down-home diner bustles with office workers, vacationing families
and the occasional hungry cop. If the happy hordes and friendly service don't pull you in,
the tiered dessert case by the door should close the deal. Fried daily specials look to be most
popular.
