Wines & Beers ::

“Our aim is to introduce people to the myriad of different flavours that can be created when Indian cuisine is paired with good wine”.

Exotic dishes and increasingly adventurous palates mean that Indian cuisine is demanding equally colourful wines to complement the renaissance of sub-continental flavours.

Some people are under the false impression that wine is not an appropriate accompaniment to Indian food. Sadly, they are missing one of life’s sensual taste treats. For example, controlled tasting have shown that some iced drinks can accentuate the fierceness of a hot curry, whereas a tannic Cabernet Sauvignon, for instance, suddenly becomes soft and at the same time cools your palate.

However, if you are already a convert to drinking wine with Indian food and are looking for a change, then we highly recommend Cobra Beer, truly the king of all Indian beers.

Our extensive and adventurous wine list has laid the foundations for taking the fear out of matching a Curry and Chianti. With our wines listed under user friendly headings; the Indian culinary experience can be an imaginative and very rewarding one. We recommend a young Cabernet Sauvignon to balance the blaze of a hot and spicy dish and a rich Sauvignon Blanc to enhance the herb and meat flavours of a succulent kebab. Less assertive white wines with gentle acidity like or a full-bodied red wines with generous fruit would blend nicely with sauced dished other than curry.
