Launching on Thursday, August 4, the new and inspired menu will be available, just in time for the start of the city's Festival Fringe. Some of the options available include the ‘Samosa Chaat’ – crisp pastry bursting with spiced potatoes and seasoned vegetables, as well as ‘Chippie Chaat’ which is a fun take on loaded fries and topped in the delicious chaat.
Tony’s vegan take on the classic tikka dish features marinated plant-based “chicken” in a rich and buttery marinade, served with basmati rice. ‘Fur Fur’ will become your ideal accompaniment to enjoy alongside a cocktail or two. These crispy spiced snacks are served with spicy mango and tamarind dipping sauces and are bound to get your taste buds tingling.
Speaking on the partnership, Tony Singh commented: “Collaborating with 63rd+1st was a no brainer! The brand already has an exciting street food inspired menu designed for sharing and the addition of some of my chaat dishes will offer a taste of India for its diners.
“I’m extremely passionate about bringing authentic Indian street food to new audiences and the team at 63rd+1st is renowned for creating innovative and high quality menus so I knew the collaboration would result in something really special. I’m delighted to be able to officially launch this new limited-edition menu in their Glasgow & Edinburgh venues today and can’t wait for guests to try it!”
With indoor and outdoor seating areas, Edinburgh's 63rd+1st bar is the fourth venue to open this year, following the group's success in Glasgow, Cobham and Harrogate. The bar and restaurant also offers a range of breakfast and brunch options throughout the day.
