  • Buryani Set

    A$75.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    PLEASE NOTE - price is per set not per person Buryani is a dish to be celebrated and shared and we encourage you to do just that. Each week is a new version, but the menu always includes a chatty pot of buryani, baked in the oven, made with saffron scented rice layered with some sort of curry affair, topped with a cashew temper. With this comes a sambol and a raita, or something similar, and papadums. Always papadums. Watch out for our guest chef series where the set structure remains yet the flavours go wild. The set is good to share between two to three people however you will need to add to extras from the normal menu to complete your meal.

    We loved the crab banquet—it was absolutely delicious! The only challenge was fitting all the food and drinks on the small table without knocking anything over. The service, however, was excellent—relaxed, friendly, and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience
