Step into an unforgettable evening where history and flavour come alive. Join us for dinner as Chef Nithin, from Inji – recently awarded Best South Asian Restaurant in the Midlands, guides you through the rich culinary heritage of Kerala, exploring how centuries of colonial trade, migration, and cultural exchange shaped this extraordinary cuisine.
You’ll enjoy a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu that weaves together traditional recipes and colonial influences – from fragrant spices once traded across oceans to dishes born at the crossroads of cultures. Each course will be introduced by Chef Nithin, who will share the stories behind the ingredients, techniques, and the communities that inspired them.
