CLEAN INGREDIENTS
No Food Dye.
Not even in the mango lassi. Our color comes from real fruit, spices, and tomatoes, never from a lab.
THE MANGO LASSI TEST
Real Mango. No Dye.
Walk into almost any Indian restaurant, order a mango lassi, and it comes out a bright neon yellow. That color is not mango. It is food dye.
Ours gets its color from real mango and nothing else, so it looks the way a mango actually looks. We have yet to find another Indian restaurant that skips the dye in the lassi, and we are not about to start.

It is not just the lassi. That deep red in our tikka masala comes from Kashmiri chilies and ripe tomatoes. The gold in our rice and korma comes from turmeric. Real food has its own color, and we never reach for synthetic dye to fake it brighter.
Where Our Color Comes From
Turmeric
The golden root behind our rice, korma, and curries. It brings warm color and an earthy depth, the way Indian kitchens have used it for centuries.
Kashmiri Chili
Mild, bright, and deeply red. It gives our tikka masala and tandoori dishes their signature color, with real flavor and not a drop of dye.
What You Won't Find
The synthetic dyes hiding in a lot of restaurant food.
None of it is in our kitchen.
Why We Bother
Synthetic dyes make food look brighter and cost almost nothing. They also do nothing for the flavor. We would rather your food simply look like food. When the color is real, the taste usually is too.
