Tandoori Dishes:
Tandoori Lamb Chop & Cabernet Sauvignon: The deep richness of the lamb finds a perfect ally in our Central Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing the meat’s succulent flavor.
Chicken Tikka & Viognier Delas Freres: This wine’s lush notes of apricots and peaches perfectly meld with the aromatic spices in the Chicken Tikka.
Paneer Shaslick & Chardonnay (McGuigan Estate): The unoaked Chardonnay from South Eastern Australia provides a crisp counterbalance to the richness of the grilled paneer.
Fish Dishes:
Fish Masala & Sauvignon Blanc (Lontué Valley): Our Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, with its citrus undertones, cuts through the deeply flavored sauce, elevating the marinated fish.
Fish Jalfrezi & Chenin Blanc: The off-dry nature of our Paarl Chenin Blanc adds a touch of sweetness, offering a pleasing contrast to the spicy Fish Jalfrezi.
House Specials:
Tharov Sofyani & Malbec: The bold and peppery Argentinean Malbec is up to the challenge of handling the red chilli and spices in this specialty lamb dish.
Shahi Chicken Badami & Pinot Grigio: The light and floral Italian Pinot Grigio matches the fruity creaminess of this delicately spiced chicken dish.
Mild Dishes:
Chicken Tikka Masala & Pinot Grigio Rosé: This Italian rosé effortlessly complements the creaminess of the tikka masala sauce, providing a balanced experience.
Ponir Korma & Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough): The New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, rich in herbaceous undertones, uplifts the Ponir Korma’s subtle spices.
Medium Dishes:
Bhuna Lamb & Montino – Rioja: Our young, smooth Rioja has the perfect complexity to pair with the medium-spiced Bhuna Lamb.
Sag Chicken & Chenin Blanc: The vibrant Chenin Blanc brings a note of fresh apple, offering a refreshing companion to the earthy Sag Chicken.
Hot Dishes:
Garlic Chilli Lamb Chop & Jacob’s Creek Shiraz: The Australian Shiraz, with its fruity depth, is a robust match for the spiced Garlic Chilli Lamb Chop.
