Customer loyalty is important to us for many reasons, and we believe that this will be apparent in our dealings. We believe only in excelling and your feedback will be both appreciated, acknowledged and if possible, used to make changes for the better.

Vermilion, powdered red lead, is applied as a dot on the forehead, like the regular ‘bindi’, or in the parting of the hair by all suhagans. It is worn by married women, as a visible expression of their desire for their husbands’ longevity.

Red is the colour of power. Vermilion is thus a symbol of the female energy of Parvati and Sati. Sati is believed to be the ideal wife, one who gave her life for her husbands’ honour. Every Hindu wife is supposed to emulate her. It is believed that Parvati protects all those men whose wives apply vermilion to their hair parting.

SPECIIAL DIIETS

Listed below are some Vermilion dishes on this menu that cater for people with special dietary
requirements. If you have any food allergies or restrictions that we have not covered, please
ask any of our waiting staff for assistance. We will always endeavour to provide you with a
delicious meal to suit your particular needs.

Lower Fat

Many people’s perception of Indian food can be of a very high fat, high calorie cuisine. However,
there are many lower fat, lower calorie options to choose from. At Vermilion we use a minimum
amount of high quality vegetable oil in our cooking. If you’re counting your fat/calorie intake
avoid the buttery/creamy dishes or dishes with coconut milk and stick to drier dishes or dishes with a
tomato based sauce. Of course, choosing a lighter size portion will also help keep the calorie
count down. Here are some suggestions:

Starters: Chicken Tikka
Eral Sukka
Meen Balchao

Main Courses: Cod, Monkfish and Mixed Pepper Shashlik
Mangalorean Fish Masala
Pepper Chicken
Chicken Jalfrezi/Dhansak
Beef Kalimiri
Vegetable Hazari/Jalfrezi/Biryani
Chana Masala
Steamed Rice

Lower Carb

For a lower carbohydrate option we have many meat/fish only starters. Most of our main courses if
eaten without rice or bread would have a fairly low carbohydrate count with the exception of
dishes made with coconut milk or sweeter dishes like Chameen Mango Kolambi. If you’re not
being too strict about it most of the tomato based curries above would have a fairly low carb
content if eaten without rice or bread – you could ask for a side-order of spinach to accompany it.

Starters: Chicken Tikka
Eral Sukka
Meen Balchao

Main Courses: Cod, Monkfish and Mixed Pepper Shashlik (without the rice/naan)
Murg Shahajahani
Gosht Mehzabin
Gosht ka Salan
Saag Gosht
