The way Indian food should arrive at the table
At Aafrien we celebrate the depth of Indian cooking — North Indian tandoor classics, coastal curries, fragrant biryanis and Indo-Chinese Hakka. Everything is prepared per order with fresh ingredients and house-ground spices. Our naan is baked in the clay oven the moment you ask for it.
