What to Order
Yellowfin Tuna Bhel
A vibrant appetizer featuring yellowfin tuna with bright cilantro and mint chutney, balanced by lime, tamarind, mango, and pomegranate, all brought together with crunchy rice puffs.
"Starting with Yellowfin Tuna Bhel and ending with Duck Breast and Cappelletti - everything was incredible and full of flavor."
Volodymyr Vrublevskyy
Grilled Lamb Skewers
Tender and buttery lamb skewers with a subtle date glaze, served with bright pickles, cooling Greek yogurt, and crunchy buckwheat puffs for a perfectly balanced bite.
"I was made aware their lamb skewer was their most popular dish, and my god, it makes sense. The best lamb I’ve ever had."

Crab Toast
A rich and buttery toast featuring crab, noted for its comforting flavor, though some find it less spicy than expected.
"The Crab Toast was absolutely amazing!"

Pistachio Kulfi
A unique take on a traditional Indian frozen dairy dessert, infused with cardamom and saffron, and studded with pistachios.
"The pistachio kulfi was interesting, and this was the first time we’ve tried something like this. It’s a popular traditional Indian frozen dairy dessert - imagine ice cream infused with cardamom, saffron and studded with pistachios."

Popcorn Dessert (Chicago Mix Popcorn Dessert)
A deconstructed and sophisticated dessert offering a balance of sweet and savory, with rich caramel, soft cake, airy corn mousse, and crunchy popcorn bits.
"For dessert, the Popcorn and the Pistachio Kulfi were incredible and a perfect way to end the meal."
