Ordering Strategy

Focus heavily on the small plates and tandoor sections (like the Raan and Chops) where the kitchen's pedigree shines brightest; add a biryani to share if you're particularly hungry.

What to order

Safe first

Raan Utthapam

Universally hailed as 'transcendent' by critics, this dish features kid lamb simmered for 12 hours and served on a fermented rice pancake.

Hungry

Beef Short Rib Nihari

A 'tremendously rich and moody' dish that exemplifies the restaurant's Gymkhana-style ambition and high-level execution.

Wildcard

Truffle Pecorino Kulcha

An 'outrageous' and 'louche' bread that is so addictive reviewers admitted to eating leftovers standing at the fridge door the next day.

Wildcard

Bebinca

A 'deeply enjoyable' Goan dessert described as a 'squidgy, ghee-and-coconut-milk-infused cake'.

Good to know

Founded by alumni of Gymkhana and Dastaan. The dining room has hard surfaces which can make it quite noisy when busy. There is a terrace with a BBQ menu in the summer.
