3. Each course will come paired with a beautiful wine pairing throughout the night with our Master Sommelier explaining each wine and key interesting facts with each tasting.

4. Meet and greet from Executive Chef Amit Bagyal himself.

Yaatra’s exclusive supperclub matches premium French wines with Chef Amit’s masterful use of flavour inspired by dishes selected from across India. In the same way that each region of France brings its own style of winemaking, each region of India has its own unique expression when it comes to food and flavour.

Dishes on the menu showcase what Chef Amit believes are the best offerings from each region, often deeply rooted in the area’s rich history and traditions. The Kid lamb leg shami kebab alone will transport tastebuds to the large city of Lucknow where this dish has been prominent for around 200 years having developed from Persian travellers bringing spices and herbs to the region.

Working in perfect harmony with the menu, sommelier Nick sets out to prove that old world wines can work perfectly with Indian spicing. Shedding the old formula of beer or Riesling being the most appropriate match, Nick’s interesting selection demonstrates how the tannins of light or medium bodied red wines with berry notes serve to calm and balance spices, complementing and enhancing the notes of the dishes

Meanwhile, big bold red Bordeaux wines pick up different elements of the dishes due to their nature of the blends. The fruitiness complements the red meat, while other varieties complement the smoky nature of the tandoor cooking.
