The candlelit dining room: exposed brick, chandeliers and white linen tables

A village kitchen,
in the heart of Sydney

Behind our brick walls and warm lanterns, food is cooked the way it always has been in the villages of India: slowly, generously, and over real fire. Goat curry rests for hours in a sealed pot. Naan puffs against the tandoor wall. Chutneys are ground fresh each morning.

From Kashmiri rogan josh to Chettinad chicken and Bengali prawn curry, every region gets a seat at our table. Yours is waiting.
