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.”
