Parsees believe in 'Good thoughts, good words, good deeds' as a cornerstone of belief - and of course - good cooking as well!
Fire is central to Parsee worship and the flames - which are revered as the 'Son of God', signify purity and continuity. In Parsee temples perpetual fires fuelled by sandalwood burn constantly. The religion dates from around 1000 BC when it was founded by Zoroaster, sometimes called Zarathushtra. Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion, believing in one God and an eternal afterlife, if you are good in this one.
Angels are important to Parsees too, and the 'Farohar' on the wall of this restaurant is a painting of this Angel.
Parsee cooking differs from other kinds of Indian cooking in many ways. It is based on recipes handed down for hundreds of years and also brought from Persia, the original home of the Parsee. Parsee cuisine makes great use of fresh herbs and spices, particularly mint, coriander and cumin. It is less chilli hot than many other Indian cuisines. Parsees are also great lovers of meat and eggs and there is no tradition of vegetarian cooking in Parsee cuisine.
Though many of the dishes on their menu may be new to you, have no doubts that you will find this experience most enjoyable.
It is, after all, The Parsees intention to introduce you to their very ancient and traditional Parsee culture to enhance your enjoyment of cooking from the Indian sub-continent.
The restuarant offers catering and will provide for any type of party, or deliver their food to your home or office. The menu also extends to sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, award winning pickles and chutneys and the highest quality spices and condiments.
As the Parsees say, 'Chalo jumva avoji'. (Come, lets eat)
