Hyderabad is a city built on layers. Deccan spice, Nizami richness, sharp tamarind, toasted nuts, chilli and curry leaf all meet on the same plate. The food is bold and deeply aromatic, with sourness playing just as important a role as heat.

This menu takes its cue from that contrast. A rich, nutty salan, a properly tangy khatti dal and a dry, spiced vegetable fry, all brought together with fragrant rice.

Poriyal

Vegetables fried with mustard seeds, curry leaves, chilli and coconut until savoury and fragrant, with plenty of texture against the softer curries.

Salan

A deep, glossy curry built with toasted peanuts, sesame and coconut, sharpened with tamarind and layered with chilli and warming spices. Rich, nutty and unmistakably Hyderabadi.

Khatti Dal

Toor dal cooked with tomato, turmeric and tamarind, then finished with a hot tadka of garlic, cumin, mustard and chilli. Khatti means sour, and that bright, mouthwatering tang is exactly what makes this dal sing.

Rice

Fluffy, fragrant rice, kept simple to catch all that salan and sharp, spicy dal.
