Grilled the Way It Should Be

Our grill is the beating heart of the kitchen. Skewers of marinated meat, tandoori favourites and smoky BBQ are cooked over live fire until they are charred at the edges and tender within.

It is a craft we take seriously, and you can taste it in every smoky, spice-rubbed mouthful.

Aged to Perfection

Steaks With Real Character

We treat our cuts with the respect they deserve. Properly aged, seasoned simply and seared over high heat, our steaks arrive with a deep, savoury crust and a juicy, full-flavoured centre.

Paired with golden chips and our signature sides, it is comfort and indulgence on one plate.

Curries That Sing

Slow-simmered and layered with warm, aromatic spice, our curries bring the soul of Indian cooking to your table. Creamy, fragrant and deeply satisfying, they are made to be scooped up with fresh, pillowy naan.

This is the flavour that keeps our guests coming back, plate after plate.
