Nothing hits the spot like a good Curry!
But as we all know, not all curries are created equal. The difference between a good curry and a great curry to the palate is the same as the difference between elevator music and a full symphony is to the ear.
No more mass market misery!

Our Bombay Chaat is a bite-sized tribute to India’s true melting pot, India’s own New York – Bombay or Mumbai as it is now known. A place where peoples of all cultures from the subcontinent have been migrating over the centuries to make a living. This amalgamation of a myriad of spices and traditions makes food from this region very exciting. 
The Clay Tandoor Oven is at the heart of Indian Barbecue and Meat Grilling. The heat for a tandoor was traditionally generated by a charcoal or wood fire, burning within the tandoor itself, thus exposing the food to live fire, radiant heat cooking, and hot-air, convection cooking, and smoking in the fat and food juices that drip on to the charcoal and adding an amazing flavour to the meats.
Temperatures in a tandoor can approach 480 °C (900 °F), and it is common for tandoor ovens to remain lit for long periods to maintain the high cooking temperature. The tandoor design is something of a transitional form between a makeshift earth oven and the horizontal-plan masonry oven.
One of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health is to increase the amount of plant-based food in your diet. A plant-based diet is any diet that focuses on foods derived from plant sources. This can include fruit, vegetables, grains, pulses, legumes, nuts and meat substitutes such as soy products.
With Mint & Mustard’s amazing line up of wonderful veggie options, you run the risk of not missing meat.
Pairing wine with Indian food is tricky business.
It needs a deep and intrinsic understanding of spices and of the big, bold flavours, textures, and complexity of Indian cuisine is critical to producing wines that not only complement but great enhance – and even harmonise – the experience of a wide range of spicy dishes.
The styles that make up Indian and other spice-rich cuisines are varied and complex and it is not meat but the flavours and spice combinations that are primary considerations when choosing spicy food-wine combinations.
