You’ll tuck into wild dishes like Sichuan lamb samosas, vindaloo duck bao, a cheeky twist on butter chicken, and the mysteriously named Sunday Funday Rice (even the marketing team doesn’t know what’s in it). Finish with the Galubnut, a gulab jamun/donut hybrid you didn’t know you needed.
Thirsty? The drinks list features mango daiquiris, guava mojitos, and Kingfisher Lager to keep the vibes high. It’s your last chance to feast before the festival ends, so don’t miss it. Book here.
