Our PhilosophySher Singh is more than just a restaurant, it's a celebration of Indian culture and cuisine. we emphasises Indian historical cuisine and provides traditional North Indian delights by deriving influence from ancient Indian cooking methods and spice combination.Our CuisineThe taste and flavours of the north Indian dishes are influenced by the Mughal dynasty that ruled India for three centuries. Food was rich and cooked with aromatic spices, nuts, and dried fruits that time in India's history. Our cuisine preparation is time consuming and intricate, given the numbers of flavourful sauces and butter based curries, almost as if it was designed to make people want more food.Our AtmosphereAt Sher singh, we believe that dining out should be a memorable experience.
