Most people in North America are familiar with Ramen, but Anuja Mehta is introducing them to Thindi, a uniquely Indian take on noodles. Flavoured with Indian spices and fresh, local ingredients these noodle dishes are more saucy than soupy — the noodles are really the star of the show with their toothsome texture and ability to absorb a ton of flavour.
Banana Pakoda $6
Popular monsoon-season street snacks in Mumbai, these crispy, addictive banana fritters are battered with breadcrumbs, chickpea flour and spices, and served with spicy green coriander chutney.
Noodles in a delicious spinach-garlic sauce with fresh spinach & green chillies, spiced with turmeric & sauteed cumin seeds. Topped with fresh green onions and a dollop of sour cream.
Desi Mac ‘n’ Cheese $12
Noodles with house-made bechamel infused with cheddar & mozzarella, a blend of a dozen aromatic spices, and a touch of heat from fresh green chilies. Topped with toasted breadcrumbs, more cheese, and fresh coriander.
Tadka Sizzler $12
Noodles dressed in a flavourful Tadka (sizzle) — a very aromatic spice blend, with fresh curry leaves, mustard & cumin seeds, red chilli powder and flakes sizzled in clarified butter.

Pineapple Grilled Cheese $6
An Indian street-food favourite — white bread layered with pineapple jam, slices of pineapple, and mozzarella cheese.
