Our Tandoori King Prawns are marinated with carefully selected spices and cooked over intense clay oven Tandoor heat, and are beautifully charred on the outside while staying succulent and tender inside. The marinade allows the seasoning to soak in, bringing out the prawns’ natural sweetness while adding a rich depth of flavour.

Served sizzling with sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon, the prawns bring together smoky, spicy and fresh flavours in every bite. Pair them with warm naan and enjoy them straight from the Tandoor for the best experience.

Koolba’s tender Lamb Shank, slow-cooked until perfectly succulent and packed with rich, aromatic flavour. 🍖✨ Served with saffron fragrant barberries Rice fragrant, it’s a hearty dish made for a truly indulgent meal.

The lamb is so tender it practically falls apart with every forkful, while the rich sauce adds layers of deep, comforting Persian flavours. Paired with fragrant rice, every bite is warm, satisfying and full of authentic taste. 🤤
