Wine

Sparkling
Avissi Prosecco 187ML8.00
Italy. Single-serve Prosecco — green apple and white flowers, gently fizzy. A clean palate reset between spicy bites.

Italy. Single-serve sparkling rosé with wild strawberry and a dry finish. Celebration in a small bottle.
White Wine
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling8 glass / 26 bottle
Columbia Valley, WA. Off-dry with peach, lime and racy acidity. Residual sugar tames Indian hot — the classic spice pairing.
Kung Fu Girl Riesling10 glass / 32 bottle
Charles Smith, Washington. Dry-leaning Riesling with white peach and mineral snap — a sharper take on the spice pairing.

Dark Harvest. Rounded and easy, apple and light oak. Pairs with korma and creamy paneer dishes.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay10 glass / 32 bottle

House Sauvignon Blanc7 glass / 25 bottle
Bright, grassy and citrusy. Cuts through fried starters like pakora and samosa.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc10 glass / 35 bottle
Marlborough, New Zealand. Passionfruit, lime and cut grass with zippy acidity. Excellent with seafood curries.
La Petite Perrière Sauvignon Blanc9 glass / 29 bottle

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc9 glass / 30 bottle
Marlborough, New Zealand. Lime leaf and gooseberry, crisp and aromatic.
Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio8 glass / 26 bottle
Italy. Light, dry and pear-scented — the easy pour with anything on the menu.
Rosé
A to Z Oregon Rosé10 glass / 34 bottle
Oregon. Dry, strawberry-and-citrus rosé with a crisp finish — our most food-friendly pour across the whole menu.
Red Wine
Archetype Pinot Noir9 glass / 29 bottle
Oregon. Light-bodied, red cherry and rose petal with silky tannin — the safest red with tandoori and lamb.
Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon10 glass / 32 bottle
California. Ripe black fruit, mocha and a soft, generous finish. Handles rich lamb curries.
Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon10 glass / 32 bottle
From the Prisoner family, California. Plush Cab with dark berry, vanilla and spice. Big enough for vindaloo.
Schloss Koblenz Sweet Red9 glass / 29 bottle
Germany. Off-dry and juicy — the crowd-pleaser for anyone drinking on the sweeter side, and a nice foil to chili heat.

Not sure what to drink with curry?
Ask for the Riesling or the rosé with anything hot — a little sweetness calms chili heat. Sauvignon Blanc is made for pakora and samosa, and a Kingfisher or Taj Mahal lager is the classic with tandoori. Draft list rotates weekly, so ask what's on.
