Tikka Manpreet added," I personally purchase the best masalas & spices and then these are hand-pounded to  enhance their flavors and aroma.” The hand-pounding is done using traditional 'Silbatta' and 'Kundi Sotta' to preserve the traditional process.

Not only Indian the restaurant is a paradise for food lovers as it also has a wide array from Pan Asian & Continental  cuisines. What's more, it also boasts of a unique genre of 'modern cuisine of Pan Asian' too.

Next day it is given 'tadka' and is again kept in the 'tandoor' for cooked for hours. It is a unique dish in its own way, said Chef Singh.
