Dear Guests, This menu represents our take of modern Indian food. There are no long lists of ingredients or complicated methods. This is simply good food prepared using fresh ingredients, designed to please your individual palate.

In preparing this menu, we have had to consider that there is no such thing as “Indian cuisine”, but rather there are various “cuisines of India”. The scope of Indian cooking is vast and encompasses a wide range of geographic and climatic conditions, centuries of history and many cultures.

A well-balanced meal contains the six basic tastes of Indian cooking: sweet, sour, salty, spicy or pungent, bitter and astringent. Spices contribute many of the flavors and the most important spices include chilies, mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron.

Besides spices, the main flavoring ingredients are milk, cream, yogurt, onions, garlic and coconut milk.

An Indian meal is rounded off with an after-dinner collection of spices and condiments such as aniseed and cardamom.

Enjoy your meal with passion for India
