The fish pakora is hotter than the sun, but I'm okay. It's banging — really thin batter and an explosion of flavor.

The lamb sheesh is really hot, all those seasonings mixed into the meat — phenomenal.

The chicken tikka is beautifully marinated, the flavors are incredible.
Lamb Chops
The lamb chops are smoky and delicious, with a perfect char.
