DISTIINCT’S INDELIBLE DINNER

We are seven saavy women from five different countries (Iran, India, Nigeria, Cameroon, Turkey) who believe that by blending a passion for cooking our traditional foods with global tastes, we are able to elevate our cuisines together with love… and bring to you a spectrum of cross-cultural flavours without borders.

The dinners below include all the menu items however each meal has either a MEAT MAIN or a VEGETARIAN MAIN option. When you order your meal ticket you will see the two different tickets. Each ticket is a single meal but it is a generous portion.

“Crispy deep fried battered plantains is a childhood favourite. We always looked forward to when plantains will be in season to have a variety of dishes made with this versatile ingredient”

Fried balls of potato and paneer nestled in a rich and creamy mild gravy cooked with sweet onions and tomatoes. Tangy, sweet and mild spicy, it pairs well with rice or roti. “The dish carries a sense of nostalgia, reminding me of festive celebrations and joyous gatherings with loved ones especially around Diwali.” (GF)
