The carefully designed menu features starters like chargrilled black tiger prawns marinated in sweet basil, and rabbit mustard tikka with pickled yoghurt and watercress salad. Main courses are equally as inventive, drawing on flavours from across India. Pan-fried guinea fowl supreme with garlic and fresh chilli is real treat, while the buffalo vindaloo is not for the faint-hearted - diced buffalo cooked in a hot and spicy sauce, served with butter rice.
