Diwali is a time of joy, celebration, and eating. This special day brings families and groups together to share sweets and delicious meals. The Brook Indian Gastro Pub in Cambridge is celebrating Diwali with a traditional Indian Thali. A specially curated Veg and Non-Veg Grand Thali will be served for lunch and dinner from November 1–3, 2024. Both serve a variety of delicious food. This holiday season, anyone who wants to taste Indian cuisine should try this special menu, served from noon to three and six to nine.
The Idea Behind a Thali: A Treat for the Senses –
Indians traditionally serve many dishes on a large platter called a thali to make a balanced meal. Indian cuisine is diverse, with each dish offering different flavours, textures, and smells. A Thali is a filling meal and visual treat. It serves creamy desserts, rich curries, and crispy fried foods.
The Brook Indian Gastro Pub offers a vegetarian and non-vegetarian Grand Thali, elevating the traditional Thali. Both were carefully planned to bring out the best in Indian food.
Veg Grand Thali – £25
The Veg Grand Thali has a huge variety of flavours for people who love vegetarian food. This £25 Thali has starters, curries, lentils, and sides, demonstrating Indian vegetarian food’s richness. For Indian food beginners or veterans, the Veg Grand Thali has many dishes that will leave you wanting more.
The Veg Grand Thali comes with the following:
Eggplant Bhaji:
Indian herb-and-spice dish with soft eggplants. The savoury and smokey flavours and hint of sweetness make it the perfect starter.
Paneer Tikka:
Classic marinated Indian cottage cheese tastes great when grilled to perfection. Paneer’s smokiness and softness make it unforgettable.
Malai Kofta:
Mushed vegetable and paneer dumplings are served with a creamy tomato gravy. You eat dumplings that melt.
Shahi Paneer:
The royal dish features paneer cubes in a rich, creamy, mildly spiced sauce that tastes decadent.
Sambar:
This lentil-based vegetable stew is South Indian staple. This dish tastes great with tamarind and special spices. Sour and spicy curries are refreshing from creamy ones.

Spinach Dal:
This spinach-filled lentil dish is the perfect combination of taste and nutrition.

Plain or Palav rice:
Choose fragrant Palav rice with herbs and spices or plain rice to soak up the gravies.
Papadum:
Papadum, a thin, crispy lentil wafer, can be eaten between curry bites. It gives the Thali a crunchy texture.
Cucumber Raita:
Yogurt-cucumber side dish that balances meal spices.
Fruit custard:
The Thali ends with a sweet fruit custard. It combines velvety custard with fresh fruit sweetness.
Besides being beautiful, the Veg Grand Thali is a great way to try all of India’s vegetarian dishes.
