Our Journey – From Epsom to Skipton

✧

Dastaan’s journey started in 2016 with its first restaurant in Epsom. The focus was clear from the beginning—stay true to authentic Indian cooking while presenting it in a way that feels modern.

That approach quickly gained recognition, including the Michelin Bib Gourmand and strong reviews across platforms like TripAdvisor and Google. Over time, it built a reputation for consistency, quality, and attention to detail.

Today, under the guidance of Anurag Singh and chefs Nand Kishore and Sanjay, that same standard continues in Skipton, bringing a well-established dining experience to a new setting.

A Culinary Experience Defined by Modern Indian Cuisine

At Dastaan, the menu is designed to balance tradition with innovation. Classic recipes are respected, but the presentation and approach feel current, making the food both comforting and engaging.

Signature Dishes That Stand Out

Some dishes naturally become favourites, not because they’re complicated, but because they’re done right:

Butter Chicken – Smooth, rich, and well-balanced
Hyderabadi Biryani – Fragrant and layered with depth
Signature Lamb Chop – Smoky, bold, and full of flavour
Chicken Lollipop Indian Style – Crisp outside, tender inside

Each one reflects the core idea—simple ingredients, handled with care and precision.

Explore the Flavours – From Street Food to Fine Dining

The menu doesn’t stay in one lane. It moves from casual, vibrant dishes to more refined options, giving you a mix of experiences in one visit.

Indian Street Food with a Refined Touch

Street food plays a big role in Indian cuisine, and here it’s presented in a more polished way. Dishes like Samosa Chaat bring together crisp textures, tangy flavours, and spice in a way that feels lively but still balanced.

Traditional Indian Thali

The Indian Thali offers a bit of everything—multiple dishes served together, giving you a wider taste of the menu. It’s ideal if you want variety without having to choose just one thing.

5 Course Tasting Menu Indian

For something more structured, the 5 course tasting menu Indian creates a full experience. Each course flows into the next, building a sense of progression while showcasing different flavours and techniques.
