The Dhabba

Chaat Pakodi

Indian street food or chaat does not mean mere snacks or hors d'oeuvres. The very concept is almost a way of life, eating in a style which becomes almost compulsive — flavours which encompass sour, sweet, tangy crunchy, spicy and irresistible

Starters

"The beginning of a fabulous meal should set the tone for the rest of it, just as the end of it should be the flourish of an ample repose; a belief that the world is nearly perfect". So wrote the author, philosopher and gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1812, and it surely applies today. Certainly The Dhabba would agree. So to start:

From the Traditional Tandoori Oven

The tandoor is an oven made in earthenware pottery traditional throughout all civilizations but is still widely used throughout Asia, especially in India where it has produced mouth watering roasts for over five thousand years. In India — and certainly The Dhabba — it has reached perfection. The results of tandoori cooking, whether it be bread, vegetables or meats, are healthy and avoid high cholesterol and fats. More often than not, the various meats are marinated in Indian cookery which means the flavours are sealed into them, ending up with a succulence you will remember. Tandoori cooking requires considerable skill, much as a ceramicist would need — deciding on time, heat regulation, preparation of materials — even the methods of basting the ingredients resemble the needs of such things as glazing pottery would be to a potter. The Dhabba has the luxury of an expert in its chef who knows all there is to know in this most arcane of cooking methods

The Art of Dum Pukht

This style of cooking requires considerable skill and experience and its origins lie in the times of the Great Nawabs of Awadh, the absolute rulers of the Northern Provinces of India during the 17th and 18th centuries. Dum Pukht can be translated as to "breathe" and "cook". It is a process of slow-cooking food in its own juices, thus retaining all of its natural aromas and flavours. The results of this style of cuisine are courtly and peaceful, for a long and leisurely, well, gastronomic experience. Please allow around 20-25 minutes for your Dum Pukht dish to be served

Homemade Paneer

There is a Scottish version of this ancient means of cheese making called crowdie, as there probably is everywhere there is milk. But paneer is something else. Rather like cottage cheese, it has a crumbly texture and dense freshness that gives strong flavours — a tendresse and a richness all of its own. At The Dhabba this paneer is made in the traditional, and, it has to be said, painstaking way

Biryani

This delicious rice celebration can be as simple as well as amazingly complex in its widely differing forms. Slow-cooked in a sealed pot, it takes to robust meats, or vegetables with sumptuous opulence. It can be beautifully enhanced by subtle, or complex sauces. Historically the food of kings, all the vibrant tastes, and colours of India make this, almost a genre, a palatial dish and one of the most regal experiences of world food. Served with a choice of sauces - The beautifully aromatic Salan (Vegan), herby and spicy. Or perhaps the smooth, springtime-like famous Raita (Vegetarian), (Contain: Dairy) with yogurt, spices and fresh vegetables

Drinks

Available everyday. Wine by The Glass - To enable you to experiment we are pleased to offer you a wide selection of wines by the glass. We use a wine preservation system to ensure that every glass of wine we serve is perfectly fresh and in the condition that the winemaker intended

Wine Pairing

There is common misconception that Indian food doesn't go well with wine. We have assiduously tested this theory and have concluded that this is very much not the case. The secret is in considering the main style or flavour of the fish that you are looking to match and identifying the right wine to accompany it

• Spicy Food

  Heavy wines can over-emphasise spice. Therefore to complement out dishes prepared using Northern Indian spices and chilli we recommend aromatic whites such as Sauvignon Blanc and fruit-driven reds

• Rich & Creamy

  Many of our dishes are prepared using cream and butter. For these delicious, richer dishes we recommend a fuller, rounder wine. Fruity Chardonnay is perfect for white wine drinkers and to accompany our seafood dishes; on reds a juicy wine such as Shiraz is just the ticket

• Herby Dishes

  We prepare only the freshest of herbs, such as coriander, fenugreek and mint for our cuisine and to match the herb-influenced dishes on our menu we recommend crisp, herbaceous whites and savoury red wines such as Rioja
