01The North

Smoke, cream and the tandoor

Slow charcoal, hung yoghurt marinades, and gravies finished with butter. This is the food of Punjab and Delhi, cooked loud and generous.

A good tandoor is never turned off. Ours has been warm since the day we opened.

    Overnight tomato gravy, white butter, a little smoke.

  • Seekh Kebab54 AED

    Minced lamb, green chilli, coriander, straight off the skewer.

    Black lentils cooked down for a full day.

02The West

Mumbai footpaths, Gujarati thalis

Sweet, sour and salty in the same bite. Rajasthani heat, Gujarati comfort, and the chaat stalls of Mumbai at 7pm.

In Mumbai you eat standing up, on the move, with your hands. We kept that feeling.

    Six shells, spiced water, tamarind. Eat them fast.

  • Pav Bhaji38 AED

    Mashed vegetables, buttered pav, raw onion, lime.

  • Laal Maas68 AED

    Rajasthani mutton in a fierce Mathania chilli gravy.

Delicious Indian street food, pani puri, filled with crispy ingredients.

03The South

Rice, coconut and coastal heat

Fermented batters, curry leaves crackling in oil, and Chettinad spice that builds slowly. Lighter, sharper, deeply savoury.

South Indian cooking rewards patience. The batter waits overnight before it ever meets the pan.

  • Masala Dosa42 AED

    Crisp rice crepe, potato, coconut chutney, sambar.

  • Chettinad Chicken58 AED

    Roasted spices, black pepper, a long finish.

  • Malabar Prawn Curry72 AED

    Coconut milk, kokum, curry leaf.

  • Filter Coffee16 AED

    Strong, frothy, poured the proper way.

04The East

Bengal, sweets and Indo-Chinese

Mustard, fish and river-country cooking, plus the Kolkata street food that turned Chinese cooking into something entirely its own.

Bengalis will argue about mishti for hours. We simply make it fresh every afternoon.

  • Kolkata Chilli Chicken52 AED

    Indo-Chinese, sticky, hot, a little sweet.

  • Shorshe Maach64 AED

    Fish in a bright mustard gravy.

  • Gulab Jamun24 AED

    Warm, syrup-soaked, two to a plate.

  • Mishti Doi22 AED
