Kalash Divine Indian in Southport has updated its menu with some stylish new street food and delicious new dishes to wow customers this summer.
The sophisticated Indian restaurant has also undergone a fresh new look, with a refurbishment that has included new lighting, blinds, wall paper and more.
Kalash Divine Indian, at 1-5 Lord Street, at the southern end of Lord Street, has built an unrivalled reputation for top quality, freshly-cooked dishes that reveal the true nature of Indian food since it opened five years ago.
Owners Ranjeet Singh and Alvino Cardozo have attracted a large number of regular customers who keep coming back time and time again.
Behind their success is a talented team of chefs, who spend hours in the kitchen preparing all the dishes from scratch using the freshest and most authentic ingredients.
The newly expanded menu celebrates all the very best of Indian food from all corners of the subcontinent.
Ranjeet Singh: “We have been working hard to update and expand our menu and offer some exciting new dishes for our customers.
“We have a very talented team of chefs from a variety of backgrounds. They have been working closely together to create some new dishes – we have been tasting them all and have added the very best to our menu for diners to enjoy.
“The feedback so far has been extremely positive!
“One new dish is an Indian street food classic, which we have added to our starters – ‘yoghurt bombs’, or Sev Puri.
“These have been received exceptionally well! People love them, they have been a huge hit.
“Sev puri recipe is a canape-like snack – where crispy puff pastry is topped with tamarind chutney, herbs, ground spices and more, and topped with mint yoghurt.
“They give you a mixture of flavours all at once – spicy, sweet, tangy, savoury, crunchy, all bursting in your mouth with each bite.
“This popular chaat snack is an authentic Mumbai style recipe and something very new to Southport.

“We have some other tasty new dishes for people to enjoy too.
“They add to our other popular starters such as Chicken ’65’, which is crisp batter fried boneless chicken with garlic, vinegar, chilli, yoghurt and curry leaves.
“That has become our most popular starter by far, so we hope Sev Puri will become an equally firm favourite!
