It’s time to imagine yourself travelling through India…


Indian food can be traced back in history for almost 3000 years. Indian cooking requires the generous use of spices such as red chilies, turmeric, cumin, black cardamom and herbs like basil, mint, and curries of varying degrees.

Authentic Indian dishes have evolved over many years and vary from region to region.

There are so many variations of Indian dishes that most have been broken down into 4 subcategories: North Indian from the lands of Jammu and Punjab which is known for its’ heavy use of spices, East Indian from West Bengal, and Orissa which favors a more sweet approach, with West Indian from Maharashtra and Gujarat and South Indian from Karnataka and Pradesh drawing their flavors from the orient.

Here is our Indian Feature Menu for this Thursday and Friday evening. Don’t forget though that we always have our regular menu available.
