For those with heartier appetites, the Goan Chorizo & Pepperoni Pull Apart promises generously stuffed bread with spicy Goan chorizo and pepperoni, served with a side of fiery Naga chilli aioli. The Turkish Pide, with its minced lamb, pickled Bhavnagri chilli, pomegranate molasses, sumac onions, and marinated feta, strikes a perfect balance between savory, tangy, and sweet. The Chipotle Chicken Bao offers a fusion of flavors, with chipotle chicken, crisp iceberg lettuce, kimchi, and a pop of Popti chilli crisp.
