Ordering Strategy
Don't skip the vegetable sides—the Okra Fries and Gunpowder Potatoes are standouts. Order plenty of Garlic Naan to mop up the Daal.
What to order
House Black Daal
The restaurant's signature dish that people come specifically to eat; it is described as mild, rich, and incredibly warming.
Masala Prawns
A hearty and satisfying choice noted for being generous in both size and flavour.
Gunpowder Potatoes
Considered the 'star of the show' by reviewers, these are cooked in butter, aromatics, and herbs to create an unexpectedly delicious side.
Kala Khatta Gola Ice
An 'interesting' and refreshing dessert of ice flakes mixed with sweet kokum syrup and a savoury kick of chilli and salt.
