    didn't realise it was 100% vegetarian but it's not like that matters one bit when it comes to a good curry

  • Regional Range from North to South Indian Thalis

    Dinings thalis span both North Indian curries and South Indian dosas, offering regional balance and diverse variety in a single meal.

    We tried one from south India and one from the north. I’m not vegetarian and didn’t miss the meat at all.
