Buryani Set
A$75.00 per person
Multiple dates available
PLEASE NOTE - price is per set not per person Buryani is a dish to be celebrated and shared and we encourage you to do just that. Each week is a new version, but the menu always includes a chatty pot of buryani, baked in the oven, made with saffron scented rice layered with some sort of curry affair, topped with a cashew temper. With this comes a sambol and a raita, or something similar, and papadums. Always papadums. Watch out for our guest chef series where the set structure remains yet the flavours go wild. The set is good to share between two to three people however you will need to add to extras from the normal menu to complete your meal.
Buryani Banquet
A$90.00 per person
Multiple dates available
This banquet gives you the best of everything. Short eats to start, an egg hopper and sambol interlude, with the buryani served with an array of accoutrements as your main. Followed by a little dessert. Watch out for our guest chef series where the set structure remains yet the flavours go wild and we match dishes from our menu with our visitors tasty delights.

We loved the crab banquet—it was absolutely delicious! The only challenge was fitting all the food and drinks on the small table without knocking anything over. The service, however, was excellent—relaxed, friendly, and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience
