Friday, 26 April 2024, 6.30pm
£55 (+ service) – Multi-course Dinner with a glass of beer with each course.
Our loyal customers have been requesting for the return of our twisted BRIT evenings and menus. In response to their requests, we have decided to organize the KHAADRAS DINNER on April 26th, with a unique theme that celebrates the Best of British with our own distinctive twist. This idea was inspired by the popular BBC2 series, The Incredible Spicemen, where chefs Cyrus Todiwala and Tony Singh traveled around Britain, transforming people’s perceptions of British cuisine.
A unique four-course menu, designed especially for the night by Cyrus, with each course accompanied by a glass of Bread Beers.
Yes, this time we are pairing with an amazing beer company that fights food waste called Crumbs Brewing. They make the most amazing beers from unsold bread. Each beer is made with a different type of bread, including the world’s first lager made from wonky naan!
Join us for an exciting evening for
just £55 (plus service and any additional drinks you wish to buy).
We hope to see you there!

Sustainable Seafood Masterclass
2023-04-22 14:30 - 18:30 | Cafe Spice Namaste, 1-2 Lower Dock Walk, London, E16 2GT, United Kingdom
Sustainable Seafood – 22nd April 2023
Join us at this masterclass exploring Sustainable Seafood – we will be focussing on utilising lesser known fish as well as promoting British seafood through delicious Indian dishes. Cyrus will be demonstrating 5-6 seafood dishes using not only sustainable seafood but also the best of season, to expand your repertoire of fish and shellfish dishes and your culinary knowledge around ingredients.
“In the UK, like in several countries, people get addicted to certain kinds of fish only and will not deviate to trying other equally great fish. This puts serious pressures on certain species. It’s one reason why we must, as an island nation, support our fisher-folk and also ensure that we take precautions to leave a good legacy behind with an abundance of fish for an ever-increasing fish loving population. Therefore, practicing sustainability is the key and the more we are conscious the better it is for everyone.” – Cyrus, as quoted on his appointment as an Ocean Ambassador for the Marine Conservation Society
Timings:
2:30pm: Arrival & Tea/Coffee
2:45-3:15pm: Introduction to the Masterclass
Chef will discuss his personal history, philosophy of food and cooking, and give an outline of the session and what it will cover.

Mr Todiwala’s Academy is perfect for professional chefs and would-be chefs or any food lover who wishes to cook and learn from some of the best talents in the industry.”
Join us at this masterclass to gather “grains of wisdom” around one of the most versatile kitchen ingredients – rice.
“A staple for over 3.5 Billion people globally has not found itself fully engrained into the British culinary culture. However the desire to eat more rice and explore its many varieties is growing rapidly – with more and more British homes cooking rice at least once a week. Whilst Britain doesn’t grow rice, they do in Europe – especially the Southern countries. Italy alone grows over a hundred varieties!” – Cyrus
Rice offers itself in many forms, there are said to be more than 40,000 varieties of cultivated rice and that is only the ones we know of.
Cyrus will be focusing on showcasing two or three types; looking at different textures, flavours and styles to create an array of dishes. The purpose of the session is to kindle your creativity and exploratory interest in trying different varieties and styles to add to your growing repertoire or rice dishes.
