The mouth-watering menu boasts a unique blend of ethnic and progressive dishes prepared by Indian-born chef and owner Jixon Chirayil, who has more than 18 years experience cooking south and north Indian cuisine. Start with tasty appetisers such as hand-made samosas, onion bhajia, cauliflower pakoras, and melt-in-your-mouth chicken tikka (marinated in yoghurt and spices, cooked over charcoal in an authentic tandoori oven).
