Weekly Wine and Beer Specials

Summer means a refreshing chilled wine to cool your palate. Our weekly specials complement spice quite nice, so forgive the rhyme and make some time to dine at Heritage India this week.

Guwürz 2011 is a Gewürztraminer from California’s Alexander Valley Vineyards. A perfect partner for spicy and seafood dishes, it’s on special for $20.50 (regularly $30).

Yeluma Shiraz Voignier 2008 comes from Australia. According to the vintner,

This wine is deep red in colour with sweet, fresh and fragrant aromatics of cherries, plums and bright red-currant fruits. Subtle spices and clove notes are present as are the floral hints of Viognier. This is a medium to full bodied wine with red fruit flavours, fine spices and cloves. It is a rich and softly textured Shiraz with the subtle sweet textures of Viognier.

It’s specially priced at $22.50 (regularly $35).

If you’re looking for smaller amounts of liquid refreshment, we’re also offering:

• Half-bottle of La Linda Malbec 2010 from Argentina for $18.50
• The original Bass Ale on sale for $4.50 per bottle

Cheers!

Batata Chili Fry for National French Fry Day!!

Today is National French Fry Day and we’ve got an extraordinary way to celebrate. Our new menu includes Batata Chili Fry: potatoes fried with fresh green chilies, a dash of garlic and sour mix spices. You could call them Indian French fries. One bite of these tangy, spicy and hot potatoes and you’ll surely call them delicious.

Vegan, Vegetarian and Meaty Ways to Celebrate National Eat Beans Day

Today is National Eat Beans Day. We suggest you celebrate with Dal Makhani, our house black lentils. One bite and you’ll be fully addicted. But don’t just take our word for it. In praising these glorious beans, the Washington Post theorized they “appear to be a union of silk, earth and midnight.”

For a vegan bean dish, order our Masala Dal, yellow lentils with tantalizing herbs and spices.

At the opposite end, meat eaters can try our two curries that incorporate lentils. We’ve got Dhansak, a popular Indian curry from the Parsi community that mixes elements of Persian and Gujarati cuisine into a rich curry of lentils, pumpkin, eggplant and spices. And we’ve got Hyderabadi Murgh Haleem, a popular Turkish dish that made its way into the Indian subcontinent via the Nizam of Hyderabad. Literally meaning “patient and merciful,” it is made of ground chicken, crushed wheat, barley, lentils and spices.

Now, the only thing left to do is make your selections and eat your beans today.
