🥂 What is Wine Pairing?
Wine pairing is the art of matching wines with food to enhance both the dish and the wine. The right pairing can elevate your dining experience by creating harmony between flavors, textures, and aromas.
Our sommelier has carefully selected each wine to complement Chef Akhilesh's authentic Indian cuisine
🍷 Understanding Wine Types
- Sparkling: Light, bubbly, refreshing – perfect for starters
- White: Crisp, fruity, pairs well with lighter dishes
- Red: Bold, rich, complements hearty mains
- Riesling: Sweet, aromatic, ideal for desserts
📖 How to Enjoy This Menu
Start with the sparkling wine to cleanse your palate, then progress through whites to reds. Take a sip of wine before and after each bite to experience how the flavors evolve and complement each other.
Pro tip: Let the wine sit in your mouth for a moment before swallowing to fully appreciate the pairing
🌶️ Wine & Indian Spices
Indian cuisine's complex spices pair beautifully with wine. The acidity in whites cuts through rich curries, while the tannins in reds balance smoky tandoori flavors. Sweet Riesling cools spicy heat.
Don't worry about spice levels – our dishes are crafted to showcase flavors, not just heat
