A Festive Journey in Five Courses
An Ode to the Season of Light and Harvest
As autumn wraps the world in gold,
And flickers of light from digas unfold,
We welcome you to a table of stories
Of spice, of warmth, of festive glories.
This menu is more than a meal it's a celebration.
Inspired by Indias vibrant festival season,
each course is a tribute to tradition,
reimagined with the rhythm of today.
From the smoky comfort of tandoor-roasted squash,
to the joyful crunch of cassava tikki,
to the coastal whispers of Malabar and the bold heart
of Kolhapur
every dish honors a region, a ritual, a memory.
And as we end with modak—a sweet sacred dumpling
paired with mango and cranberry,
we offer a taste of joy, reverence, and return.
This is our seasonal offering.
A journey through Indias festive soul
told through five mindful courses,r
crafted with care and gratitude.
Thank you for celebrating with us.
