  • Distinct Regional Curries and Coastal Flavors

    Distinctive regional offerings like coastal Lamb Malabar curry and street chaat expand beyond standard suburban Indian takeaway staples.

    Malabar tastes creamy and a little tangy, making it my favourite type of Indian curry now.

    They were able to add chicken to the vegan sauce - and its the best meal I've eaten since becoming dairy free.
