The grill never goes out.

There is no closing time. Whatever hour you arrive, the coals are lit and the chai station is running.

Charcoal, always lit: Every kebab, tikka and sajji goes over live coals.
Karahi cooked to order: It starts when you order, not before.
Chai around the clock: The chai station runs continuously, day and night.

Not an afterthought

The chai counter

21 of them, brewing from doodh patti and karak through Kashmiri pink chai and Peshawari qehwa, to the saffron and pine-nut signatures. Iced too, for the walk back out into the heat.

The room

Come as you are

Double height ceilings, woven pendants, and the Indus painted the length of the banquette wall. This is a dining room, not an occasion.

Who we are

Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the lands surrounding the Indus, we bring together time-honored recipes, bold spices, fresh ingredients, and the unmistakable character of cooking over flame.
