More than 40 years & three generations

Mrs. Usha Mehra brought her
passion for Indian cuisine to
Canada. She founded the first
North Indian restaurant in
Winnipeg, featuring all of her
own original recipes. Over the
years, Kamal and Sudha Mehra
enamoured thousands of diners
with those dishes. Today, Sudha Mehra and her children carry forward this legacy
of cuisine. Classical Indian flavours are presented with a contemporary flair amidst
centuries old Indian wood carvings, paintings and intricate tapestries; The Mehras
would like to invite you to experience the dynamic essence that India is known for.
