Our kitchen

Our chef has spent more than a decade honing Indian classics in kitchens around the world. At Barrel n Basket, that experience becomes a menu that honours authentic flavour while embracing modern technique, from street-side chaat to slow-simmered curries and kebabs straight from the tandoor.
