Menu
For the uninitiated
A traditional Gujarati main meal would comprise a sak (curry), dal, rice, bread and accompaniments. All the items are served in separate serving dishes encouraging sharing, so for greater enjoyment vary your order from your partner's.
To enjoy a traditional Gujarati feast, have your appetiser, starter, main meal, accompaniments and dessert all served at the same time. House suggests any hot starter and for dessert, plain shrikand (a rich yogurt desert flavoured with saffron and cardamom) or gulab jambu (cardamom flavoured sponge in an aromatic saffron syrup).
Rani cooking is mild to medium spiced. For those anxious about spicy food, the house strongly recommends raita or plain yoghurt with the meal. Lassi (yoghurt drink) is another excellent accompaniment.
