Indian Cuisine
Our Indian cuisine showcases authentic regional specialties from across the subcontinent. Each dish follows traditional preparation methods using heritage recipes passed down through generations. We balance spices carefully to enhance natural ingredients rather than overpower them, offering both classic favourites and lesser-known regional delicacies. The menu caters to diverse dietary preferences while maintaining culinary authenticity.
Tandoor Grilled Meats
Tandoor-grilled meats are prepared using traditional clay ovens that impart distinctive smoky flavours. We marinate premium cuts in house-blended spices before slow-cooking them to perfection. This ancient cooking technique ensures tender textures while preserving moisture and enhancing natural meat flavours through high-heat searing.
Seafood Dishes
Our seafood menu features fresh catches prepared with coastal Indian influences. Dishes combine aromatic spices with contemporary presentation techniques while respecting traditional preparation methods. We offer both mild and spicy preparations showcasing regional variations from Kerala's coconut-based curries to Mumbai's fiery seafood specialties.
Vegetarian Specialties
Vegetarian specialties highlight India's diverse plant-based culinary traditions. We use seasonal produce in classic preparations ranging from North Indian paneer dishes to South Indian lentil-based recipes. Our chefs apply traditional spice-blending techniques to create complex flavour profiles that satisfy both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Private Dining
The 20-seat private dining room offers an exclusive setting for special occasions. Decor combines modern elements with traditional Indian motifs creating an elegant atmosphere. We provide tailored menus and dedicated service for celebrations ranging from family gatherings to corporate events, maintaining the same culinary standards as our main dining area.

Nice people working there, looked professional, wasn't too expensive and the food was good. Giving 4 stars because a 5 star would need to amaze me beyond words. Nice place though.

Place and food were fantastic. Really loved the green bean starter and goan monk fish curry - delicious.! One thing that spoiled our experience was the number of customers not wearing masks when they should be. Not the restaurants fault but made me feel uneasy.
