Prepare to be wowed by a lineup of dishes that read like poetry to the palate. Signature creations include the rich, slow-cooked Dal Makhni that feels like a warm hug, and the fiery Chettinad Chicken, a tribute to southern spice traditions. For an authentic North Indian touch, the Sindhi Dal Pakwan packs nostalgia with a crispy twist.
Not one to shy away from experiments, Chef Kapur adds flair with playful picks like the Spiral Chaat, a tangy, textural dream and Saag Burrata, a creamy Italian-Indian fusion. And then there’s the Kothey Momo, which pays homage to India’s love affair with street-side dumplings.
