Welcome to the endlessly fascinating world of Indian food! As one of the most popular cuisines, India’s food culture is routinely shortlisted as one of the world's best.

Left Coast Estate presents a specially curated menu from the Left Coast of India! With hundreds of ancient trading posts dotting the western coast line, there is a strong Portuguese influence in the local west coast cuisine from their colonial presence. Sweet potatoes, tomatoes, potatoes, cashew nuts and red chillies were all introduced by the Portuguese! These dishes are milder than your typical North Indian dishes that most folks associate Indian food with, but full of flavor - incorporating localized spice blends and coconut milk.

Starting in Bombay (now Mumbai) and working our way south along the coast to Goa, we will introduce you to the cuisine of the Konkan. Stretching from Maharashtra to Goa and Karnataka, the rugged Konkan belt is extremely fertile and home to seasonal rivers and heavy rainfalls. This coastal mountain range, known as the Western Ghats, is older than the Himalayas and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - one of the 36 biodiversity hotspots in the world. It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India.

This 5-course dinner will be enjoyed at our tasting room and will be hosted by our Director of Sales, Shardul Ghogale. Chef Mike collaborated closely with the Ghogale family to create authentic representation of some of their favorite traditional dishes from the Left Coast of India. Learn about how to our pair wines with Indian cuisine and why Left Coast wines are particularly well matched with this style of food.
