For Chef Pillai it is almost like coming home.
From the pictures of the meal, it is definetely the Malabar crab and the rest of the delicious Koliwada menu that they ate.
TRISHNA celebrates the delicacies of the South Western Coast of India. Deep below, is the South Western home state of Chef Pillai, which will be celebrating the Annual harvest festival of ONAM, complete with a banana leaf Onam Sadhya!
Some popular review extracts of TRISHNA,
“I will say about Trishna — speaking as someone who loves heat — that they care little for petty British palates and will knock your socks off with chilli.” Grace Dent – Evening Standard.
“Trishna, sister restaurant of the exceptional Gymkhana, is modern and spacious chic with a reasonably priced tasting menu that’s light, fresh, and never too heavy. Come for a solid meal in an organized and serious environment.
