Here's What I Had

Bharwan Tandoori Potato - Rs 230

It’s rare for vegetarian dishes to arrive with this much thought and flair. The Bharwan (stuffed) Tandoori Potato is filled with a mix of mashed cottage cheese, mushrooms, and spinach. Each bite delivers a burst of aromatic spices that hits the palate with precision. Chunky, hearty, and perfectly spiced, this dish is one of the best starters here - ideal as a finger food or shared bite.

Baby Lamb Galawati - Rs 350

Legend says the Galawati Kabab was originally created for a nawab who had lost his teeth and it’s easy to see why. This baby lamb kebab is tenderized 18 times, giving it a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s decadently soft. The spice mix - clove, bay leaf, cardamom, and star anise is aromatic without overpowering, while the flattened sheermal bread infused with saffron adds a subtle royal sweetness. Each mouthful lingers long after you’ve swallowed.

Goat Cheese Gnocchi - Rs 250

A little dumpling of joy! The gnocchi are steamed lightly and soft to the point of delicate mushiness. The filling - lightly salted goat cheese which pairs beautifully with the coarse, well-seasoned sauce they’re served in, creating a contrast of textures and flavours that feels indulgent yet refined.

Chicken Smoked Pot Tikka - Rs 295

Smoke, spice, and succulence define this dish. The pot cooking method locks in aromas, intensifying the flavour of the chilli-marinated chicken. The condensation beads on the meat’s surface release fragrance as you dig in, and the meat itself is tender, juicy, and deeply satisfying. A bold yet elegant dish.

Shallow Fried Corn Kernel Basket - Rs 230

A playful accompaniment, these crunchy kernels are fun to eat and perfectly presented. Light, crisp, and subtly spiced, this dish complements drinks or acts as a small appetizer to start a meal on a cheerful note.

Burrata Cheese Caponata - Rs 300

This salad is a showstopper. Crunchy romaine and iceberg lettuce, pine nuts, zesty cherry tomatoes, and mellow, stretchy burrata (mozzarella with a cream cheese filling) come together under a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and tangy balsamic dressing. Each bite balances freshness, creaminess, and acidity, making it one of the café’s

Teriyaki Chicken Pizza - Rs 350

Thin-crust perfection loaded with glazed teriyaki chicken chunks, minimal but well-placed vegetables, and gooey cheese. The combination of Japanese-style candied chicken with an Italian base results in a pizza that feels both indulgent and sophisticated - fusion done correctly, and delightfully so.

Kingfish Fillet With Singaporean Egg Sauce - APS

A curious but utterly satisfying dish. The mild kingfish fillet soaks up the creamy, savoury egg sauce, while sesame seeds sprinkled on top provide a subtle nutty crunch. It’s a delicate, balanced seafood creation that’s both innovative and comforting.

Tandoor Jheenga Peeli Mirch - APS

Fresh, juicy, and mildly seasoned prawns that let the natural sweetness of the crustacean shine through. These prawns stake a strong claim as “king of seafood” - simplicity meets perfection here.

Prawns XO Sauce - Rs 415

Over-the-top but in the best possible way. Batter-fried prawns served with a spicy, seafood-infused XO sauce. The sauce is intense, aromatic, and complex, perfectly complementing the crisp, succulent prawns. Each bite is a dramatic, flavour-packed moment that leaves a lasting impression.

Dudhi Halwa - Rs 150

A comforting end to a complex meal. While bottle gourd might not appeal to all, the halwa’s creamy caramelisation with cardamom seeds gives it a gentle, warming sweetness - a satisfying conclusion to a feast of bold, inventive flavours.
