Tapori’s menu is born from a deeply personal culinary pilgrimage — a journey across India’s vast and diverse landscape, where food is both heritage and art. Inspired by travels through 28 states and 8 union territories, each dish reflects an encounter with a family kitchen, a treasured recipe, or a tradition preserved through generations.
In homes, on coastal stretches, in bustling markets, and along serene mountain paths, I was welcomed into the intimate spaces where India’s true culinary identity resides. These moments revealed flavours shaped by culture, geography, and time — stories too precious not to share.
Every creation on this menu is a vignette from that voyage. Crafted with technique, intuition, and respect for regional purity, each dish seeks not to replicate, but to interpret and honour the essence of its origin.
At Tapori, I invite you to journey through India’s lesser-explored gastronomic heritage -a curated experience that celebrates craft, culture, and the emotion behind each recipe.
A voyage of taste awaits. - Barchef Bubbs
Tapori’s interiors blend modern elegance with the soul of India’s artistic heritage, creating a warm, sophisticated space designed to elevate every dining experience.
Entering through a 200-year-old hand-carved Rajasthani door, guests are welcomed into a setting where contemporary design meets centuries-old craftsmanship.
The space celebrates India’s diverse visual traditions:
-
the geometric rhythm of Warli art,
-
the sculptural motifs of Bastar tribal work,
-
the vivid storytelling of Madhubani,
-
the spiritual vibrancy of Pichwai paintings.
A dramatic hand-cut mirror mosaic of a peacock anchors the room, shimmering like a living sculpture, while a 32-foot oil-on-canvas depicting Kerala’s backwaters brings a sense of movement and serenity. Throughout the restaurant, a procession of colourful Indian elephants adds playful charm to the refined ambiance.
At Tapori, art is not limited to the plate — it shapes every corner of your journey. The interiors offer a visual narrative that complements the culinary one, immersing guests in the richness, texture, and timeless beauty of India.
