Kingfish, Scampi. |
Chef
and restaurateur Sid Sahrawat reveals a bold new menu direction for his
award-winning fine dining establishment, Sidart, located in the heart
of the city of Auckland, New Zealand.
The
reinvented menu continues to showcase best of New Zealand’s produce,
but in a contemporary Indian format that is a more formal and precise
execution of
the cuisine currently offered at the popular sister restaurant, Cassia.
Inspired
by the diversity of India’s regional cuisines, spices and flavours, the
menu elegantly fuses locally sourced produce, with Sahrawat’s attention
to detail evident at every turn. His love for his hometown and his
childhood memories serve as an influence in his latest menu evolution.
The
new dishes are imbued with the creative, mouth-watering flair diners
have come to expect from Sahrawat’s kitchen and team of talented chefs.
The new menu
offering includes (but is not limited to) kingfish, scampi, cultured
cream, daikon; hapuka, mustard seeds, tamarind, almond; pork jowl,
butternut, wild garlic, Goan flavours and for a sweet finish,
green
apple, saffron, dill, passionfruit.
Sahrawat says,
“The
evolution at Sidart reflects my identity as a chef, the journey growing
up in India to starting my first restaurant Sidart nine years back. Its
new reincarnation showcases my
metamorphosis from an Indian chef cooking kiwi food to a kiwi chef who
incorporates his love for Indian flavours with his passion for Kiwi
produce.”
Sid
combines his famous revolutionary skills and comprehensive precision to
create art on a plate with the menu depending upon the seasons
and availability from all of New Zealand’s sourced produce. He is extremely passionate in his kitchen to the point of obsession and has worked hard to make the Sidart experience
accessible
and personal for diners.
