As we couldn’t make up our minds, we got the 2-person sharing menu to taste all their signature dishes, opting for the seafood extravaganza instead of the healthier veggie route
𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
𝘛𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘰𝘬𝘬𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘰 𝘚𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘪-𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘥Each of us was served a freshly seared scallop on a bed of crisp greens. The crunchy seaweed brought a salty, earthy twist that beautifully complemented the natural buttery goodness of the scallops
𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘦𝘢 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘯𝘴A vibrant and nutritious delight, featuring a colorful medley of red cabbage, baby pink prawns, carrot shreds, avocado, and cucumber slices, all bound together by a delectable mayo sauce. We especially enjoyed the nutty sunflower seeds and zesty green apples. Just beware of the fiery paprika powder kick if you're tongue-ticklish like me!
𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘱A perfect blend of flavors that danced on our taste buds, this left us craving for more. The subtle spicy aftertaste was wonderfully harmonized by the distinctive sweetness of the beets and the tender carrots.

𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬-𝘧𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘣 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘴Confession time: I'm usually not one for lamb, but this dish thoroughly surprised me by how well-executed it was. Recommended by our server for a medium-well cook, the lamb chops arrived exquisitely tender and succulent. Another surprise was enjoying the meat without dipping it into the strong sauce, which leaned more towards sweet than peppery. The rich grassy notes shone through beautifully, devoid of any gaminess.
𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘳𝘢A first for me to try these fried fritters, which in my humble opinion, is Indian’s version of tempura. Mildly spicy (phew, just right for me), every bite was a crunchy symphony of mixed veggies, aromatic spices, and fragrant herbs.
𝘚𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘰The combo consisted of (in order of our liking) fish tikka, chicken thighs and minced lamb kebabs all expertly grilled in flavourful herbs . While we enjoyed pairing each bite with the chewy and elastic homemade naan, it was also super yummy to dip the flatbread into the mint yogurt as well.

While the set didn't come with drinks, we simply couldn't resist the temptatio of their cocktails and mocktails
𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙃𝙆𝘿𝟵𝟴Originally we wanted to get the mango juice, but the server convinced us to try a mocktail that had the same base. Such a relief that we listened to him, as this was sooooo much better. Sweet and thirst-quenching, it was just like a mango-flavoured ginger ale

One of their winter cocktails, this lavender-based cocktail was striking not just for its gorgeous purple hue but also for its exceptional taste. The egg white brought a velvety foaminess, smoothing out the floral hints of lavender vodka and Cointreau, culminating in a slight bitter finish
