Vine Social

Open the menu at Vine Social in Nishi-Kasai, and the sheer variety of bar-friendly small plates immediately sets it apart from a conventional curry house. Fragrant, freshly baked mini kulchas come stuffed with rich butter paneer or chicken as "kulchettes," alongside pani puri presented in glass style and palak patta chaat layering crisp spinach with yogurt and chutneys. Blending classic street-food energy with Western flourishes, dishes like the samosa bun—a spiced samosa tucked into toasted bread—and a starter pairing creamy burrata with crunchy papdi make an instant impression.

The grills and main courses show similar inventiveness. Spiced, beautifully charred tandoori salmon and broccoli glazed in a rich malai cream sauce make natural partners for beer or a glass of wine. The slow-simmered dal makhni carries the mellow richness of butter and cream while preserving the distinct texture and earthy depth of the lentils. Pairing it with parmesan garlic naan, which tops fragrant roasted garlic flatbread with savory aged cheese, brings out the best in both.

For a heartier meal, fragrant biryanis layered with spices and tender chicken or lamb deliver deep, satisfying flavor. Meals can close on an aromatic note with desserts such as chai-infused tiramisu or a saffron-scented Basque burnt cheesecake. With dining tables, counter seating, and an airy outdoor terrace, the space adapts easily to casual lunches or relaxed evening gatherings.
