Asheville Menu
We're inspired by the everyday street food scene of India: bold, shareable,
craveable nibbles built on crispy, tangy, spicy, comforting flavors made to be explored. Some dishes may be new to you. That’s the fun. Come hungry. Try something unexpected. Leave happy.
We can’t do substitutions (trust us, it’s complicated), however, we can accommodate certain allergies and dietary restrictions, just ask your server!
