Corn Ribs! Fried to crispy perfection, tossed in ghee and our house made tandoori spice blend, drizzled with our smokey tandoori yogurt, finished with toasted pepitas and smoked turmeric . On special this weekend, maybe a permanent summer menu item?

Gonna be honest here - I'm one of those people who sometimes avoids things that are trendy just b/c I like to think of myself as cool like that. Corn ribs seemed like one of the most gimmicky stupidest things ever. But I had some leftover corn from an event so tried this out and OMFG I was completely wrong! These are insanely good. Forget burger week and pizza week, we need Corn Rib Week!

Closing at 3 today for a catering.

Photo from yesterday. My Saturday ritual is to stop at the market on my bike ride in to work and grab some veggies to go into the week's raita and dhal. This week I picked up some asparagus for our raita and chard for the next batch of dhal. Support your local farms and value add food producers!

Spring means strawberries and I've switched up our side salad dressing to one of my favorites - Strawberry Kalonji (known as Nigella in the west). Sweet and tangy and with just a hint imof spice. Available as an add on to all our entrees or just as a side too. Swing by here at the pod afterwards to grab a strawberry dessert too!

Spring means peas! I've swapped out our Lamb Kale Keema for a Lamb Matar Keema - ground lamb and peas in a super rich sauce. Online menu still says Kale, will swap out as soon as I get a chance!

Picked up some Mizuna from as an addition to our cabbage salad this week. This variety is "Pinky Pop" with just a hint of color in the stems and like all Mizuna it has a mild pepper bite and slight bitterness. We love working with local farmers and highlighting their products on our menu!

We're at Thu to Mon 1130am to 8pm.

Slow rainy afternoons are for R&D. Chicken thighs marinated in Gochujang, chickpea , mayo, and house curry powder. Pan fried to perfection and finished with smoked turmeric salt. This would make a pretty bomb skewer. 🤔
