Modern Indian restaurant Where the name itself encapsulates the essence of storytelling in Hindi. with our unconventional approach, we handpick select regions and their dishes, each representing a unique chapter in India's culinary narrative. authenticity takes center stage here & we take great pride in presenting you with genuine flavors and traditional recipes.Kahaani is the sort of venue where you could order butter chicken, but you probably shouldn't order butter chicken. No one's going to raise any eyebrows if you do, but you'd be missing out on some of the treasures that lie deeper into the menu.Kahaani itself is classic Lygon: a long, narrow dining hall, with funky industrial lighting and exposed brick down one side. The front window opens out onto the street, letting the breeze and Lygon nightlife waft in.

    Ample portions, noisy and small, but that is the idea. To re-create South India. Chicken was not infused with as much flavour as expected. Service was a little inattentive. Will return to try the goat curry.

    I had a great experience at ISH. The food was delicious—Dahi Puri for starters, and Garlic Naan, Palak Paneer, Prawn Mushroom Moilee, and Basmati Rice for mains. The naan was perfectly soft with a generous serving, while the basmati rice portion was a bit smaller than expected. The Dahi Puri was the best I’ve had so far. The ambience was perfect—not too noisy—and the staff were very friendly. Service was a bit slow at times, but it was understandable as they were reasonably busy with only two waiters and a cashier. Overall, a wonderful spot for a cozy meal. I’d definitely visit again!

    The meals were substatial and tasty. The Thali was super and so was the Chicken 65 as well as all the other dishes. The service was great the friendly staff always there to help in any way.. The ambience was soothing just needed that music to make it a bit more lively.
