The Veranda Indian Degustation Experience

Not a set menu. An experience.

At Veranda Indian, we welcome you as we would into our own home. Our food isn’t restaurant food — it’s food from home. The kind that changes with the season, carries memory, and tells stories of where it comes from.

The Veranda Indian Degustation Experience is a seven-course, sit-down journey (6 savoury + 1 dessert) through India’s lesser-known regions, everyday kitchens, and vibrant bylanes. Expect thoughtfully portioned small plates, signature creations, and dishes our team loves most — each prepared with homestyle care and shared with context, not confusion.

This is Indian food beyond curries. Regional, seasonal, deeply personal.

What to expect

A guided degustation experience
This is not a typical Indian restaurant menu. It’s a curated tasting experience designed to showcase the diversity of Indian food — fresh, balanced, and full of personality. Perfect for food lovers who enjoy discovering something new together.

Signature non-alcoholic drink included
Your experience begins with one of our popular house-made drinks, inspired by Indian flavours and traditions.

Inclusive by design
We proudly accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and food allergies, including - Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and No-onion-garlic-potato (Jain-friendly).

Our menus are designed so everyone at the table can eat well, without compromise. Just let us know when booking.

A sweet finish
Your evening ends with a comforting dessert and chai — the kind of ending that feels familiar, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.

Perfect for special occasions

The Veranda Indian Degustation Experience is ideal for birthday bookings, anniversaries, celebrations, and special occasions — or simply when you want to slow down and enjoy food that’s made with intention. Our kitchen is 100% halal, always has been, always will be.

Our menu evolves with the seasons and new discoveries, so each visit offers something a little different, while always staying true to our philosophy.

Come hungry. Come curious.

We’ll take care of the rest.
