The house

Fifteen years,
one ethos.

“Our journey began in 2011 as Bath city's exemplary fine dining Indian restaurant solidified by the instant and very positive public and critical reception. We have continued onwards and upwards, evolving with time. Yet, we have stood steadfast with our ethos of mixing British ingredients and a certain modernity and refinement with superlative flavours and dishes that are very much our own but also redolent of the Subcontinent. It's Indian cuisine that is vibrant and enticing and we hope, one you will enjoy.”
