The art of Indian cookery lies not in high spicing but in the subtle use of delicate spices to enhance the dormant flavors and subdue the undesirable ones.

We have a varied mix of preparations from different regions of India; however, the dominant style is "MUGHLAI" and has its roots in the Mughal era.
