Upma $7.50

Roasted semolina tossed with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and vegetables, soft and aromatic.

Karam Idli $7.50

Cloud-soft steamed rice and lentil cake, light, and gently fermented.

Sambhar Vada $7.50

Golden lentil doughnut, crisp on the outside, airy and tender inside.

________ WHY SUNDAYS ARE DIFFERENT

Why the biryani is Sunday only.

Some dishes need more time than a weekday service allows. The biryani marinates over two days before it is layered and cooked.

Made from scratch

The biryani is built from scratch. Whole spices toasted to order, ground in-house, balanced by hand.

Flavour before heat

Cardamom, curry leaf and black stone flower come through first. The chilli sits underneath.

Until sold out

We cook a set number of plates each Sunday. Book ahead to be sure of one.

_________ THE ROOM

White linen, Riedel glasses and an acoustic ceiling.
