From the kitchen

Your kind of heat

Heat at Indian Dhaba is never fixed — each dish carries a suggested level, and the kitchen always re-seasons to your taste.

The Sharing Spread

Spice levelHot

A table crowded with curries, naan and sides — the roadside way: order plenty, share everything, leave full.

The Thali

Spice levelMedium

Rice, curries, bread and pickles on one tray — a complete Indian meal for first-timers and regulars alike.

Butter Chicken

Spice levelMild

Tender chicken in a creamy tomato sauce — the gentlest dish on the board, ideal for Indian-food beginners.

The room

A small room, warm lamps

Nothing showy — a small cozy room, spices on the air from the kitchen, late-night laughter. Pure dhaba: humble and generous.
