At Agni, Indian cuisine is not presented as a single narrative, but as a collection of regional stories reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

The menu balances elegance and comfort, presenting dishes that feel familiar yet elevated, thoughtful yet approachable. Each plate is carefully composed, allowing spices, textures, and ingredients to speak clearly without excess.
One of the highlights is Daab Chingri, a comforting curry built around young coconut, mustard seeds, green chili, and plump Black Tiger prawns. The dish delivers gentle heat, natural sweetness, and deep aroma, served with basmati rice that completes the experience with quiet simplicity.

For a more indulgent centerpiece, their Smoked Butter Chicken is made of organic free-range chicken in a velvety and bold signature smoked gravy and served with chili cheese naan on the side.
