Some dishes are so traditional, they never leave your memory
This one reminds Chef Jolly of his childhood, of Sundays spent at the market with his father, carefully selecting the lamb for their family curry.
That memory inspired our Punjabi Lamb Curry at The Great Indian.
Lamb is slow-braised with caramelised onion, yoghurt, cinnamon, cloves and bay, creating a rich, warming curry with the kind of deep, home-cooked flavour that takes you straight back to Sunday lunch.
This isn’t just a curry. It’s Chef Jolly’s tribute to family, tradition and the flavours of Punjab ❤️

Smoky, sticky, and packed with bold Portuguese-inspired spice - our Hot & Sticky Pork Ribs are a nod to a flavour connection centuries in the making. Portuguese traders brought chillies, vinegar and bold spice blends to India’s shores, and that influence still lives on in dishes across the country today.
That fusion inspired our Hot & Sticky Pork Ribs at The Great Indian.
Crispy baby back ribs are tossed in smoked chilli, honey and robust spices, creating that sticky, fiery glaze and deep, smoky flavour that makes this dish so iconic.
You’ll love these ribs from our small plates menu :heart:

Some dishes are all about keeping authentic flavours alive...
Chef Jolly’s love for Ghee Roast began during his travels through coastal Karnataka, where he first discovered the traditional Mangalorean ghee roast method. It was there that his appreciation deepened for how fiery spice and slow-cooked richness transform humble cuts into something truly extraordinary.
That inspiration became our Lamb ‘Ghee Roast’ Roti Taco at The Great Indian.
Spiced lamb is slowly pulled and simmered in a rich, ghee-laced roast masala before being tucked into a warm paratha taco, creating the bold, buttery bite and deep flavour that make this dish so iconic.
A great dish for hot weather, you can see why this is a favourite of Chef Jolly’s ❤️
