We take the comfort of street-side flavours like aloo tikki and puchkas and dress them for the tasting table. Our starters are where tradition meets invention, crafted to spark conversation before the main act.

A playful prelude to the Indian Accent experience. Here, you see our dhokla bites, chaat canapés, and kothimbir vadi, each a familiar flavour thoughtfully reimagined with clever textures and surprising pairings.

A closer look at our dhokla, presented as a delicate bite-sized cube on a spoon. It's a small taste of our philosophy: familiar flavours, presented in an entirely new light.

Our take on chaat, served in a crisp canapé shell over a bed of chickpeas. It’s a burst of tangy, sweet, and savoury flavours, finished with an edible flower for a touch of elegance.

Kothimbir vadi, a classic Maharashtrian snack, is presented on a dried leaf. This small bite is packed with flavour, showcasing how we honour tradition while adding our own inventive touch.

A selection of our street-food inspired snacks, including aloo tikki and kothimbir vadi, paired with a crisp glass of champagne to set the perfect tone for your meal.

Our ghee roast soya boti is a vegetarian delight, served with roomali roti pancakes and an assortment of chutneys. It’s an interactive dish that invites you to scoop, dip, and savour the medley of flavours.

This is our paneer tikka chaat, served as a khakra mille-feuille with a dollop of Shimla mirch mayo. The layers of crisp khakra and flavourful paneer create a delightful textural experience.

A single bharwan mirch, or stuffed chili, is presented with artistic flair. It is filled with a goat cheese mousse and served with a chilli aam papad chutney, balancing spice with creamy and tangy notes.

A familiar street-side snack, reimagined with our signature elegance. These crisp, hand-rolled cornetts are filled with a spiced mixture and finished with a dollop of delicious mousse.

Our cornetts, lined up and ready for service. Each one is a testament to the attention to detail that goes into every element of your dining experience, from the first bite to the last.

About A Playful Prelude

Our signature cornetts are where this journey begins. Each is a crisp, hand-rolled pastry filled with spiced mixtures and finished with a delicate mousse, a process we have rehearsed countless times to ensure the texture is just right. It is not just a bite, it is a carefully calibrated balance of spice and cream.
