Street food with a café racer attitude

Inspired by the cafés, dhabas and roadside stalls of India, we cook honest, home-style dishes on Bristol Street, Birmingham. Slow-cooked curries, tandoor-charred kebabs and fresh-baked naan, made to share and best enjoyed with your hands.

Warm lights, dark wood and a touch of 1960s rebellion. Jump on and let us give you a 'mast' taste of India.
