Seasonal Menu: What's New This Monsoon

Monsoon Magic on Your Plate

There is something about the rain that makes everything taste better. The petrichor in the air, the gentle patter on the windows, the grey skies that make warm lighting feel cosier — and that deep, primal craving for warm, spiced comfort food. The Indian monsoon is not just a weather event. It is a culinary season, and we have designed an entire menu to celebrate it.

Our monsoon specials run from June through September, and every dish has been crafted to match the mood of the season — warming, comforting, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.

Starters That Set the Mood

• Masala Corn Soup — Fresh sweet corn simmered with roasted cumin, cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lime. Served piping hot with crispy corn kernels on top. It is the kind of soup that makes you close your eyes and sigh.
• Pakora Platter — Our signature monsoon platter featuring crispy onion bhajiya, spinach pakora, paneer pakora, and stuffed mirchi bajji. Served with three chutneys — mint, tamarind, and our secret tomato-garlic dip. Perfect for sharing over chai and conversation.
• Beetroot Tikki — Crispy on the outside, soft and earthy on the inside, topped with yoghurt, pomegranate seeds, and a drizzle of date-tamarind chutney. A beautiful vegetarian starter that looks as good as it tastes.

Mains Built for Rainy Evenings

• Slow-Cooked Lamb Stew — Tender chunks of lamb braised for four hours in a tomato-coconut gravy with pearl onions, potatoes, and whole spices. Served with freshly made appam. This dish is pure monsoon soul food.
• Khichdi Royale — We have taken the humble khichdi and elevated it with aged basmati, moong dal, ghee-roasted cumin, and a tempering of curry leaves and mustard seeds. Served with papad, pickle, and a side of kadhi that would make your grandmother proud.
• Mushroom Pepper Fry — Fresh button and oyster mushrooms tossed with cracked black pepper, curry leaves, and a touch of coconut cream. Earthy, peppery, and addictive.

Monsoon Beverages

No monsoon meal is complete without the right drink. Our beverage specials include:

• Masala Chai — made with whole spices crushed to order, simmered in full-fat milk
• Ginger-Lemon Honey Warmer — a soothing blend of fresh ginger, lemon, and raw honey
• Spiced Hot Chocolate — rich dark chocolate infused with cinnamon and a pinch of chilli
• Jaggery Filter Coffee — South Indian filter coffee sweetened with palm jaggery instead of sugar

Desserts to Finish

• Jaggery Kheer — Slow-cooked rice pudding sweetened with palm jaggery, flavoured with cardamom and saffron, garnished with toasted almonds and pistachios
• Warm Gulab Jamun — Served fresh from the fryer, soaked in a light rose-cardamom syrup, with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side

The monsoon menu is available from June through September, for both dine-in and delivery. We recommend booking a table on rainy evenings — they fill up fast when the clouds roll in. There is no better place to enjoy the rain than at a table with good food, good company, and a warm cup of chai.
