About Milk (Hot/Cold)
A simple glass of milk is not the sort of thing most restaurants bother to do well, but it earns its place on our menu for a few practical reasons. It is full-fat dairy milk, served either hot or cold to your preference, and it is the very same milk the kitchen uses every morning to set our yogurt and press our paneer — so it is fresh, good-quality dairy rather than an afterthought.
Cold, it is the drink we most often recommend to anyone — particularly children — who has bitten into something spicier than expected. Dairy contains casein, which binds to the chilli compound capsaicin and washes it away, which is why a glass of milk calms a burning mouth when water only spreads the heat around. For families dining with young children, or for guests new to Indian food who want a safety net beside a fiery curry, it is genuinely the most useful thing on the drinks list.
Hot, it becomes something more comforting — the basis of the warm bedtime milk that is a household ritual across India, often taken with a pinch of turmeric as haldi doodh, the traditional remedy for a long day or a scratchy throat. If you would like it warmed with turmeric, or with a little sugar or cardamom, just ask and the kitchen will prepare it that way. Otherwise it arrives plain and unflavoured, exactly as ordered. Vegetarian, and a quiet, wholesome alternative to a soft drink or a coffee at the end of a meal.
Vegetarians and meat-eaters share most tables here; the menu has plenty for both. Visit BHARAT →
