Steamed dumplings filled with chicken, the kitchen's Himalayan roots on the plate before the main courses arrive.
The butter chicken reads as the room's anchor curry, built on an even, well-seasoned sauce that holds the whole white meat.
Lamb biryani is the long-form order here, the dish that asks the kitchen to do the most and earns its place on the table.
