Delicately prepared by Chef Satpal Sharma, a key member of the culinary team for over 15 years, highlights on the new seasonal lunch menu include chicken tikka makhani, Indian lamb curry, prawn madras, fish masala, and matar paneer. Guests who order the three-tier tiffin can also enjoy the curry with basmati rice, naan bread, mango chutney and raita. Lunch is served weekdays with prices starting from HKD 288.
