Gujarati cuisine originates in West India and typically a thali which literally means a ‘full plate of food’, the dishes are distinctively sweet, salty, and spicy simultaneously and usually contain rotli, dal, rice and is mainly vegetarian.

Nina, being Gujarati herself, has eaten this food all her life and has learnt to cook it through generations of teachings from aunties, grandmothers and her mother. Although Gujarati food tends to be vegetarian, the unique flavours will not disappoint.  Nina will introduce curries that many will not have tried before and variations of the firm favourites, like dahls and chapati’s, which are traditional to the Gujarat region of India. Be prepared to try something different.
