  • Curated Wednesday Thali Nights

    Special Wednesday Thali nights offer rotating tasting platters that let guests explore unique North Indian dishes outside the regular à la carte menu.

    I highly recommend the Wednesday Thali nights which are a welcome change to the regular A la carte menu because we get to try dishes that we would not normally order.
