Guests who purchase this multi-course meal will be outfitted in traditional Indian attire and will be picked up at their villa by a royal escort. Upon arrival to the restaurant, Chef de Cuisine Bharat Kapoor or “spicewala” will personally explain how he chose the combination of flavors for each dish.
