Chaat Street By Vaibhav Vishen

A fast-casual eatery that offers tangy, sweet, crispy, crunchy chaat and other South Asian foods. The street foods from India are a combination of textures, spice and a variety of complex herbaceous flavours that are meant to be so good that you end up licking your finger. That is what 'Chaat' literally means.

Chef Collaboration Series: Prateek Sadhu

Born in Jammu, Prateek Sadhu grew up around family farms and the cooking of his mother and aunt, which installed in him a love of food and cooking. Prateek went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America, where he staged at several of the world's finest kitchens including Alinea, The French Laundry, Le Bernardin and Noma. These places helped develop his food philosophy of showcasing local produce and foraging for lost ingredients, which he bought with him when he returned to India to open Masque, in the heart of Mumbai in 2016. After a year he was awarded most innovative chef of the year by the Western Culinary Association of India, Chef of the Year at the Conde Nast Traveller Top Restaurants Awards and ranked in Food & Wine's list of World's Best Restaurants.

Having both grown up in the Kashmir region, Prateek and Vaibhav will take you on a culinary journey through their birthplace from a Dardic lens and will showcase the cuisines, arts, music and customs of the area from Kashmir to the Chitral district just south of Tajikistan. Interestingly, Wellington flora is very similar to Kashmirs, but many of us would consider these weeds. This six-course dinner, drawing on both Prateek and Vaibhav's love of foraging and Kashmir cuisine will be a mind blowing, educational and deeply personal experience.

Wine matched tickets available.

Waza: A Wedding Feast

The Wazwan feast forms an integral part of family gatherings in Kashmir, especially weddings. It is an inextricable part of Kashmiri culture. The dishes’ names and their spice-rich sauces also tell the long history of Persian, Arabic, and Central Asian influences.

Expect incredible bites served upon rice, garnished with Kashmiri saffron and pickles. Don’t skip the Kahwa, a traditional, aromatic Kashmiri tea flavored with cardamom and topped with almonds.

Head to Chaat Street to sample the delicious dishes on offer as the whole space is turned into a wedding dining room with artwork and traditional crockery from Kashmir.
