The menu isn’t just a list; it’s a showcase of familiar favorites and subtle surprises that come alive with fresh ingredients and layered flavors. Soups carry a comforting depth; curries balance richness with a whisper of spice; and small bites like golden curry puffs create moments of delight that linger long after the meal ends.
