Hereās what we thought:ā£ā£ā£ā£
ā£ā£ā£ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Bharwan Zucchini – Crisp courgette flower, masala soya mince, pickled garlicā£
šLike a soft, spicy samosa w/ a light batter. Sauce is sweet, thick, creamy, citrusy & coconutty. Pickled garlic is heavenly. Soy has a creamy potato textureā£
ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Tandoori celeriac (GF) w/ mint chutney, burnt apple gel, masala seeds, gunpowder, coconut foamā£
šFlavour is outstanding, celeriac soft but retains a crunch, chutney is beaut. Nice contrast from the sweet apple, subtle coconut flavour, crunch from seedsā£
ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Mushroom Ki Kebab (GF) – stuffed mushrooms w/ a cashew nut crumbleā£
š ā£ā£ Lovely, juicy mushrooms, coated in a beaut (mildly spicy) seasoning. Crumble works SO well to add bite. SO many flavours!ā£
ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Sorbet (GF)ā£
šā£ā£ ā£Sweet mango heavenā£
ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Aubergine steak w/ coconut sukha, spiced tofu mince, spinach, superseedsā£
šV spicy w/ lovely sweet flavours. The aub soaked them up perfectly. Tofu adds nice substance!ā£
ā£
ā£ā£ā£ā£ š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Subz ki thal (GF) – tandoori roasted cauliflower, tandoori aloo, gunpowder sabudana papad (served w/ tandoori roti & dal tarka)ā£
šCauli – V spicy, rich, strong tomato flavour. Cauli retains some bite, charcoal tandoori flavour is perfect. Love the cracker! Dal – Warming, creamy, not too thick, chunky & mildā£
ā£
š±ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£ā£Dessert – Tapioca kher & tandoori pineappleā£
