Butter Chicken

A benchmark version by Toronto standards — the sauce is deep, velvety, and balanced with a gentle heat that builds without overwhelming

Chaat starters

Crisp, tangy, and properly bright — the chaat preparations here balance tamarind and yogurt with confidence, arriving as a sharp counterpoint to the richer mains

Lamb dishes

The braised lamb preparations are slow-cooked and fragrant, with the kind of fork-tender texture that signals patience in the kitchen

Dal Makhani

Slow-simmered black lentils with a creamy, smoky finish — a sleeper hit on the menu that holds its own against the showier meat dishes

House-made breads (naan/roti)

Charred at the edges and pillowy in the center — essential for sopping up the curry sauces and worth ordering an extra round

Signature cocktails

Indian-inflected cocktails using spices like cardamom and saffron — genuinely well-made and a differentiator from most Indian restaurants in the city
