An epic name, an honest kitchen
The Mahabharata is India’s great epic. Our kitchen takes a more modest approach: fresh spices ground in-house, sauces built from onions, garlic and ginger, and a tandoor for the tikka, chops and naan.
You’ll find the classics you know, from korma to vindaloo, next to Bangladeshi dishes usually saved for special occasions, like our Murug Roost Bhuna. Everything is cooked to order, so tell us how hot you want it and we’ll make it that way.
