Sample Menu
Nuske (Signature non-alcoholic drink)
Amla | Mango | Ginger
A rejuvenating blend of Amla, Mango, and Ginger, brimming with health benefits. Amla, also known as Indian Gooseberry, boasts high levels of Vitamin C, promoting overall wellness from digestion to hair health. Paired with the cardiovascular benefits of ginger, this drink is a refreshing elixir for the body and soul.
Nachani Papad & Dips
Millet Crisps | Thecha | Pachadi | Chundo
Regardless of the region you go to in India, a theme that unites all verandas is the age-old tradition of sun drying - whether it is fruits, vegetables, spices or our personal favourite - papads/papadums. We pair nachani papad with the fiery kick of Maharashtra's Thecha, the sweet tanginess of Gujarat's Chundo, and the creamy delight of Kerala's Pachadi.
Jhalmuri
Puffed Rice | Bhaja Moshla | Pickle Oil
West Bengal's beloved Jhal Muri is a popular street snack that is also found in Bihari, Bhojpuri, Odia, and Tripuri cuisines. Translated to "Spicy Puffed Rice", it's a true testament to its name.
Koliwada Prawn
Spiced Battered Tiger Prawns | Green Apple & Cucumber Salsa
This dish is a testament to the innovative spirit of Sikh families who settled in the bustling city of Bombay post the 1947 partition. Paying homage to the Kolis, the original inhabitants and fishermen community, it represents a harmonious fusion of Sikh and Koli culinary traditions.
Butter Chicken Pockets
Butter Chicken | Pita Bread
Butter Chicken, but make it handheld. Juicy tandoori chicken, smothered in that rich, velvety makhani sauce, all tucked into a warm, convenient pocket. Same bold flavours, zero fuss — just grab, bite, and enjoy.
Kothimbir Vadi
Coriander Fritters | Spicy Mint Chutney
Coriander, a staple in Indian cuisine, holds a cherished place in our hearts and on our plates. From its aromatic seeds to its fragrant leaves, its versatility is unmatched. Kothimbir Vadi, a beloved snack in Maharashtrian cuisine, is a testament to the versatility of this herb.
Pulled Lamb Open Rolls
Slow Cooked Lamb | Mint & Coriander Chutney | Mini Wrap
Mini wrap topped with slow-cooked, shredded lamb shoulder infused with homemade spices.
Kheer Brûlée
Rice Pudding | Brûlée | Blueberry Compote
Our Kheer Brûlée layers traditional kheer with a caramelised brûlée top, finished with a fresh berry compote for a pop of colour and taste. It made its debut on Sharad Purnima, a night known for its bright moonlight.
