Tamashaa Indian Restaurant, one of Washington DC’s rising culinary stars, has unveiled an all-new menu that brings together bold Indian flavours and global influences. Designed by Chef Manoj Goel, the Director of Culinary at Tamashaa, the menu introduces over 40 new dishes, reimagining the Indian dining experience with flair, creativity, and deep-rooted authenticity.

The new menu reflects Tamashaa’s vision of offering Indian cuisine that resonates with the modern global palate while staying rooted in traditional Indian culinary heritage. “Our goal was to create a dining experience that’s not only rooted in Indian authenticity but also resonates with the evolving tastes of global diners,” said Chef Manoj Goel. “This menu is a vibrant expression of innovation, nostalgia, and culinary storytelling.”

Diners can expect a burst of colour and creativity from the small plates, including the tangy Crispy Okra Sweet Potato Chaat, dramatic Panipuri Shots with guava and pineapple water, Multigrain Sev Puri with avocado and cranberry, and plant-based innovations like Pulled Jackfruit Bao. Non-vegetarian highlights include the aromatic Kerala Fried Chicken and the flavour-packed Old Monk Haldi Chili Fish.

Tamashaa’s Tandoor & Grill section redefines clay oven cooking with dishes like Truffle Malai Broccoli, Kasundi Seabass, and Jama Masjid Seekh Lamb, inspired by Old Delhi’s kebab legacy.

The Large Plates section goes deeper into regional specialties, offering elevated versions of classics such as Goat Vindaloo with Granny Smith Apple Koshimbir, Soft-Shell Crab in Coconut Curry, and Black Dal slow-cooked for richness. Makhmali Saag Paneer brings velvety comfort with a modern touch.

The Bread Bar is another standout, showcasing innovative options like Amul Cheese & Onion Kulcha and Black Garlic Naan, paired with creative chutneys such as Raw Mango Harissa, Gooseberry Cilantro, and Bombay Tadka Guacamole.

Tamashaa also caters to rice lovers with its Biryani Selection available in vegetable, chicken, lamb, or shrimp — alongside luxurious dishes like Lamb Nihari, Masala Lobster, and Andhra Fish Curry.

Signature dishes like the Mushroom Cappuccino with Curry Foam and Pistachio-Crusted Lamb Chops with Saffron Glaze bring Indian flavours into a modern, global spotlight, making Tamashaa a space where culinary traditions are honoured and redefined.

With this bold new menu, Tamashaa DC continues to evolve as a modern Indian dining destination, inviting guests to experience Indian cuisine as a journey, rich in flavour, identity, and imagination.

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.

Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”

Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”

Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.

The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.

Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.

Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
