The curated menu for the inaugural dinner is a reflection of Chef Sadhu's travels across India, where he has observed and experienced traditional dishes cooked at home. The menu will feature six to seven courses, highlighting regional specialities and flavours from various parts of India. To ensure an authentic experience, Chef Sadhu even brought along 80 kilograms of Indian spices and pickles, NDTV reported.

Among the delicacies that will be served, one notable dish is a Khasi cuisine Tungrymbai, hailing from Meghalaya. This unique dish is prepared by smoking and fermenting soybeans before cooking them. It will be accompanied by the traditional Meghalayan bread known as Putharo and smoked tomato chutney.
