Masque

tems from the team’s sustained efforts to give platform to local ingredients and extract maximum flavour from the wealth of Indian produce — a promise that’s been doubled down on with the addition of the new Masque Lab, the restaurant’s R&D and test kitchen that opened in 2020. At Masque, modern Indian food isn’t about returning to regional recipes and simply plating them with new tweaks. It demands revisiting traditional cooking and ingredients with purpose, and discovering ways in which these can build cross-cultural bridges. Local flavours and age-old practices meet innovation and technique, overcoming an often-homogenized definition of “Indian food” to re-imagine a new wave of modern Indian cuisine.
