BarNaan Brookfield has unveiled its new signature menu curated by Gurneet Singh, bringing together authentic Indian flavours, contemporary presentation, and globally inspired elements.
The newly launched menu celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine through a carefully curated selection of tandoori dishes, classic curries, comforting homestyle preparations, and aromatic biryanis, designed to appeal to both traditional diners and modern global palates.
One of the standout highlights of the menu is the Tandoori Salmon, where salmon fillets are marinated with yogurt, lime, and house-ground spices before being cooked in the tandoor, offering a refined seafood interpretation of traditional Indian grilling techniques. The popular Tandoori Chicken also remains a key feature, prepared with cream, herbs, and spices before being charred to perfection.
The “Classics” section of the menu pays tribute to iconic Indian dishes with preparations such as Tikka Masala, Korma, Saag, Rogan Josh, Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi, and traditional Curry, each crafted using balanced spice blends and authentic cooking methods.
Chef Gurneet Singh has also introduced a range of house specialties that blend comfort with indulgence. Signature dishes include the much-loved Butter Chicken served in a rich tomato-butter gravy, Loaded Tikka Fries topped with paneer or chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tikka masala sauce, along with the flavourful Paneer Butter Masala prepared using house spice blends and tandoor cooking techniques.
Adding a nostalgic touch to the dining experience, the “Mom’s Specials” section features comforting dishes inspired by Indian home kitchens, including Malai Kofta, Chana Masala, Daal Tadka, and Aloo Gobi, celebrating traditional regional cooking styles and familiar flavours.
The biryani selection forms another major highlight of the menu, featuring Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, and the indulgent House Biryani layered with chicken, lamb, shrimp, fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and aromatic spices.
Speaking about the launch, Chef Gurneet Singh shared, “This menu reflects our vision of presenting Indian cuisine in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary. We wanted to preserve the soul of traditional Indian cooking while introducing creative elements and elevated flavours that resonate with today’s diners.”
With its refreshed culinary direction, BarNaan Brookfield continues to strengthen its position as a destination for modern Indian dining, combining tradition, innovation, and warm hospitality in a contemporary setting
