The smoky aroma, cheese spice and cream butter of tandoor are fused together to create a rich and comfortable flavor that defines the Punjabi culinary heritage.

To complement the dining experience, the restaurant will be decorated with themed décor, inspired by the mustard fields and festive spirit of Punjabi mustard.
