Kachori Sabzi
The Banarasi sunrise dish — a flaked pastry stuffed with urad dal, cracked into a bowl of slow-simmered aloo. Eaten standing up at home, sat down here.
An old city · A long meal
A long meal
in the Banarasi
tradition.
A modern Indian dining room rooted in the city on the Ganga — the food of the ghats and gullies, served the way it has been for generations.
01 · The name
The city on the Ganga.
Banaras is one of the oldest continuously lived-in cities on earth — a place of ghats and gullies, of kachoris at sunrise and paan after a long meal. Its food does not hurry.
We took the name because it sets a tone. A Banarasi table is built around patience: a tandoor that earns its smoke, biryani that has been on the fire all afternoon, a kulhad of chai that closes the evening rather than rushing it.
What lands here is rooted in that tradition — not a buffet of every Indian region, but the food of one old city, served with the care it asks for.
02 · From the kitchen
A short list, cooked long.
The full menu walks through the day — chaat and kachoris in the morning register, tandoor and biryani by dusk. Four anchors below; the rest of the room is on the page that follows.
Baati Chokha
Wheat balls baked over an open fire, broken open and pressed into ghee. Served with chokha — smoked aubergine, tomato, and green chilli, mashed by hand.
Dum Biryani
Long-grain rice and goat shoulder sealed under dough and cooked over a low fire until the steam does the work. Brought whole to the table, opened in front of you.
Malaiyo
A dish that only exists between November and February — sweetened milk foam, churned in the cold air before sunrise, finished with saffron and a dust of pistachio.
03 · The room
Brass at the edge, candlelight in the middle.
Low light. Thali at the centre of the table. A single tandoor at the back of the kitchen that you can hear before you can see. The room is built for two-hour dinners — for the meal to find its own rhythm rather than be hurried along.
The food of the ghats does not hurry. We have built a room that learns from it. — from the kitchenStep inside the room →
