Sizzling selection of dishes

Our chefs have been brought in from Delhi to ensure that the dishes that we serve are of the highest quality and prepared to authentic Indian recipes. Our chefs will be using fresh herbs, spices and ingredients that are free from artificial colouring and flavouring.

The generosity of our people is legendary. In Sanskrit literature we say 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (the guest is truly your god) meaning that we are honoured to share our mealtimes with guests. Even our poorest look forward to receiving guests and sharing their meal.

With the restaurant we wanted to create a place that is relaxing and comfortable, but also wanted to inject some of the hustle and bustle of everyday life of Delhi. With the open plan 'theatre' kitchen, in hope that we have brought a little bit of Delhi to Oxford.

Please note: some of our dishes may contain nuts.
All prices include 17.5% VAT. A discretionary service charge of 10% will be added to your bill.
