Looking for a dining experience that’s as bold as it is unforgettable? Romeo Lane is here to redefine your expectations of fusion food. Indian-Japanese cuisine might sound like a daring combo, but trust us – it works. The sleek, stylish decor and outdoor terrace set the stage for a menu that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious. Think grilled octopus with a vindaloo glaze, shitake and cream cheese gyozas with momo chutney, and black cod with southern spiced curry – a playful twist on two iconic cuisines that will leave you wondering why no one thought of this sooner. And let’s not forget the cocktails, which blend ingredients like yuzu and cardamom for drinks that are as inventive as they are refreshing.
