Small plates inspired by the Subcontinent’s vibrant street foods and bustling culinary culture include the bright and tangy Shiso Leaf Chaat, reimagining traditional chaat with fresh shiso leaves for a citrus-fresh bite, and the light Avocado Bhel singing with zesty spices. The Dahi Vada Aloo Dum pairs soft yogurt-soaked vadas with flavourful potatoes for a comfort-fuelled fusion of textures and tastes.
Mains also offer a contemporary twist on classic dishes, such as the Daab Chingri bursting with plump prawns in coconut, elevating a traditional Bengali dish with bold, aromatic notes. The Mysore Biryani brings the essence of southern India with fragrant rice, slow-cooked meat, and an intricate spice balance. The Duck Mappas reinterprets the Keralan classic, with succulent duck in a warmly spiced coconut sauce.
