Vegetarian cooking with real depth

If you eat vegetarian, this is where the menu shines. There are vegetarian starters such as methi gota and saunfia malai phool, a fully vegetarian Bombay Chowpatty chaat section and a separate list of veg handi curries, including methi chaman makhana, nizami veg handi and nawabi baingan ka salan.

Vegan dishes are marked VG, so it is easy to find options like crispy bhajia, mix bhajia and chilli garlic mogo. Meat and seafood eaters are well served too, with lamb chops, Malabari prawn curry and the Awadhi gosht biryani.

About us

From the tandoor to the handi

Two cooking methods sit at the heart of the menu. The tandoor, a clay oven, gives breads and grills their char. The handi, a deep pot, is used for slow-cooked curries with thick, rich sauces. Pair one of each, for example tandoori murgh with a daal makhani and a garlic naan, for a meal that shows both off.
