Decolonize Tasting Menu
$80.00 per person
Nov 29, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
Did you know that using the word curry to generally refer to sauced preparations of South Asian cuisine was a British colonial invention? The word curry did not exist in South Asia. This winter, we’re bringing you a six course tasting menu that showcases sauced preparations with their original names and constructions. Join us as we decolonize our language and reclaim South Asian cuisine. Optional wine/cocktail pairing available. Not available same day. Must be booked 24 hours in advance. We offer 2 seatings at 5 pm and 7 pm.

Everything was delicious. The host and servers were very kind and friendly. They also took time to explain each dish. We would definitely recommend and we’ll be returning for sure.

It was our first time dining at the restaurant & were very impressed. The staff were all courteous, enjoying themselves & efficient. We ordered the garlic Naan with dipping sauce, kaddu shahi, timitar chaat, and nihari beef. The small plates were served quickly & with a smile. The Chai & the featured pumpkin bread dessert were an excellent ending. We will happily return.

Great food, little wait and great service. Lights and music could come down a touch to make the ambience a little better.

Had an excellent meal, the salmon and corn stood out as exceptional dishes. Any of the craft cocktails we tried were a delight. Would recommend 5-6 dishes with 2 Naan for a solid meal.

I’m so sad I haven’t tried this restaurant sooner. We opted for the tasting menu which did a great job of mixing local Wisconsin ingredients with Pakistani flavors to create 7 amazing elevated dishes. Each one was packed with so much flavor. The a la carte menu looked amazing too.

We did the tasting menu. The food was wonderful and well seasoned. It was a lot of food though- we felt like we could have shared one order.
