A standout dish is the "Butter Chicken," a creamy dish featuring tender chicken in a rich tomato-butter sauce, known for its balanced spices. Equally popular are the "Lamb Chops," which are grilled in the tandoor and served marinated with aromatic spices – a delight that particularly stands out with its smoky flavor. For a special occasion, the "High Chai" option offers a creative twist on the classic afternoon tea, complete with delicate sandwiches, spicy snacks, and sweet treats that capture a touch of India. Desserts like the homemade "Gulab Jamun" – sweet dough balls in syrup – round off the experience with their tempting sweetness.

The drinks menu is equally impressive, offering a wide range of options. The cocktails are a signature of the house, featuring creative concoctions that impress not only in taste but also visually – perfect for an Instagram moment. The wine selection is extensive and carefully curated, while a range of beers, including local varieties, complements the hearty dishes.
