  • Decolonize Tasting Menu

    US$80.00 per person

    Nov 29, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
    Did you know that using the word curry to generally refer to sauced preparations of South Asian cuisine was a British colonial invention? The word curry did not exist in South Asia. This winter, we’re bringing you a six course tasting menu that showcases sauced preparations with their original names and constructions. Join us as we decolonize our language and reclaim South Asian cuisine. Optional wine/cocktail pairing available. Not available same day. Must be booked 24 hours in advance. We offer 2 seatings at 5 pm and 7 pm.

    It was our first time dining at the restaurant & were very impressed. The staff were all courteous, enjoying themselves & efficient. We ordered the garlic Naan with dipping sauce, kaddu shahi, timitar chaat, and nihari beef. The small plates were served quickly & with a smile. The Chai & the featured pumpkin bread dessert were an excellent ending. We will happily return.

    Great food, little wait and great service. Lights and music could come down a touch to make the ambience a little better.

    Had an excellent meal, the salmon and corn stood out as exceptional dishes. Any of the craft cocktails we tried were a delight. Would recommend 5-6 dishes with 2 Naan for a solid meal.

    I’m so sad I haven’t tried this restaurant sooner. We opted for the tasting menu which did a great job of mixing local Wisconsin ingredients with Pakistani flavors to create 7 amazing elevated dishes. Each one was packed with so much flavor. The a la carte menu looked amazing too.

    We did the tasting menu. The food was wonderful and well seasoned. It was a lot of food though- we felt like we could have shared one order.
