Expect an eclectic line-up of international dishes with a signature Indian twist. Perfect for sharing, the bar snacks and small plates complement the craft beers. Try the Biryani Crisp Balls (seasoned biryani rice is paired with parmesan, deep-fried and served with a side of mint sauce – a play on arancino), and end with a selection of desserts, from profiteroles to almond tuiles, panna cotta to an assortment of pastries to pair with coffee.
