Kachori is a modern North Indian restaurant at 12 Ash Avenue beside Elephant Park. Its spacious dining room combines polished cooking with a playful approach to regional traditions, serving lunch, dinner, weekend brunch and earlier evening set menus. Small plates, tandoor cooking, curries and biryani allow guests to build either a shared feast or a more conventional sequence of courses.
Street food inspired openings include Bikaneri raj kachori filled with sprouted mung beans, sweet potato, yoghurt, tamarind and pomegranate. Samosa chaat layers crisp pastry with chickpeas and chutneys, while onion bhajia, corn ribs and lentil crepes bring varied textures to the vegetarian selection. Calamari, shrimp, chicken wings and salmon cakes extend the small plates into seafood and meat.
The grill produces paneer, spiced broccoli and cauliflower, chicken tikka, lamb seekh kebab, lamb chops, sea bream, salmon and garlic prawns. Larger dishes draw on regions across India, from Delhi style butter chicken and Rajasthani laal maans to lamb shank nihari and prawns cooked with coconut milk and kokum. Aubergine, paneer and other vegetable curries give plant based diners substantial alternatives.
Lamb, chicken and jackfruit biryanis are layered with basmati rice and sealed beneath flaky pastry to hold in their aromas. Dal, chickpeas, spinach with paneer, potatoes, rice, naan, roti and paratha complete a shared table. Indian inspired desserts, cocktails, wine and alcohol free drinks add a celebratory finish, while the weekend brunch and dedicated vegan choices offer different ways to explore the menu.
