The Legend
Tamarind grows all along the equator, and wherever it takes root, it leaves behind a trail of irresistible flavors and whispered tales of the spirits who dwell in its branches. Mischief-makers by nature, they dart between sweet and sour, smoke and spice, and nudge one more pour onto every table. Tonight they’ve taken over the kitchen and the bar. Follow them, and see where the night goes.
6 dishes. 7 pours. 1 night. Only 50 seats.
