The specialty of the house at this long-running (established 2004) shop is a tasty wagyu and pork keema curry, where the meat is simmered in coconut milk and spices and combined with an aromatic homemade vegetable bouillon. The whole preparation process takes more than twenty hours, and the result is meaty and juicy, with complex flavors and a moderate amount of heat.

It's generally served with gooey melted mozzarella cheese, ripe avocado slices and an egg yolk, and these reallly bring out the best of the keema, adding a layer of richness and an appealing texture. Other topping options are cheddar cheese, double cheese, roasted tomato and baked avocado.

The shop turns into a bar at night, and if you order curry at dinnertime you're asked to order a drink as well. There's a full cocktail menu, along with beer, wine, and soft drinks like plain and seasonal-fruit lassi.
