Backed by travel and research every few months we pick a new region from India to explore and discover new hyper regional cuisine. This season we are cooking Parsi menu, a delightful blend of Persian and Gujarati flavors, reflecting the rich heritage of the Parsi community that migrated to Gujarat hundred’s of years ago to call India their home. Characterised by its use of fragrant spices, dried fruits, and a balance of sweet and tangy flavors, Parsi dishes are both unique and comforting. Parsi food often features an interplay of textures and flavors, with influences from their Persian roots and adaptations to local Indian ingredients, creating a culinary experience that’s both diverse and distinctive. We are cooking some traditional celebratory dishes to popular Parsi Cafe dishes on our Parsi Menu.Please note our next menu change is in March 2025. We cater for all dietary requirements.

It’s Indian food done a bit differently and it tastes great. The wait staff were great. They took time to discuss Kahaani’s dishes, how they were different, and help with suggestions. We chose the Make My Feast Banquet option that allowed us to sample the menu and at $57 pp was great value. We were not disappointed in any of the dishes. My personal favourites were the Daal Pakwaan and the Parda Biryani. I’m looking forward to our next visit.
