Chilli Paneer
Crispy paneer with peppers, onions & chilli sauce
£6.95Authentic Desi street food made fresh to order, crackling small plates, slow cooked curries and fragrant biryani, now serving veg & non veg.
We cook the food we grew up on. Nothing sits waiting under a lamp. The pakoras go in the fryer when you order them and the chilli paneer is tossed in the wok while it is still spitting.
Behind the hand painted sign on Horsefair Street you will find a room full of colour: a mural of the villages back home, mismatched painted chairs and a marigold canopy overhead. It is loud, warm and simple, just like the roadside stalls that inspired it.
Everything is made in our own kitchen, from the gram flour batter to the tadka that hits the dal at the last second. Veg and non veg, side by side, the way a proper Desi kitchen should be.
Cooked to order, never held back. If it is crispy on the menu, it is crispy on the table.
A full vegetarian menu that stands on its own, alongside lamb, chicken, fish and prawns.
In the heart of the city centre, two minutes from Town Hall Square.
