A Toronto-based restaurant specializing in modern Indian cuisine is getting ready to open a location in Hamilton. 

Tamasha Bar + Indian Kitchen has signage up at 286 James Street North on the restaurant space that held the longstanding Portuguese restaurant Wild Orchid. 

Taking vibrant Indian flavours and traditional recipes and giving them judicious modern twists, Tamasha’s Toronto menu features bar bites like masala peanuts and peri peri fries; shareable appetizers like momos and Chicken 65; and main dishes like fragrant curries in meat and vegetarian varieties, biryanis, and more. 

Indian-inspired signature cocktails and desserts round things off, making for a food & drink program that appears to elevate classic Indian fare in a sleek, moody, contemporary setting. 

A firm opening date has yet to be shared for Tamasha Bar + Indian Kitchen in Hamilton, but locals can follow them on social media for updates!
