An assortment of indulgent starters swiftly follows with highlights including, Tekat Deyay Emirati, tender chicken kebabs infused with mild Indian spices and cooked in a traditional tandoor and, Emirati specialty lentil soup, Shorbat Adas that draws flavourful inspiration from India’s traditional Mulligatawny. 

For mains, guests can indulge in family-style sharing dishes, including Arayees Paratha, a dish that stems inspiration from the Indian favourite, Kheema Paratha, Khudar Mashwi ma Baharat Hind, offering wholesome Emirati house-favourite vegetables tossed in an Indian masala blend and the signature Indian Biryani infused with flavours of the Middle East, Aysh Mohammar Ma Robyan Mashwi, rice cooked with date syrup and Malleh, Emirati dry fish and served with grilled prawns.
