THE TASTING
EXPERIENCE

Three courses. One guided journey through Pakistani comfort, street fare, and spice.

A guided meal in three movements. We open with chaats and street snacks, the bright, crunchy way every great meal begins in the subcontinent. From there, a spread of housemade chutneys alongside grilled kababs and tikka. We finish where home cooking lives: a rich, slow-simmered curry course, with accompaniments to chase every last bit of flavor.
