This Valentine's Day, modern Indian seafood restaurant, Trishna, in London, is putting a stop to unseemly battles between couples over who orders what and is instead offering two special menus tailored to loved-up couples -one for him and one for her - served alongside each other at Trishna so couples can explore the Trishna repertoire in greater depth.

Both menus introduce some established Trishna classics as well as some exciting new dishes created especially for the most romantic night of the year.

 

General Manager and sommelier, Leo Kiem, will be on hand to suggest exciting wine matches to complement each and every dish on the menu or find that elusive bottle that works with every dish and, more importantly, pleases both parties! While other London menus hike up their prices for the night, Trishna's menus are priced at a very reasonable £42 per person including a champagne cocktail for him and one for her to begin proceedings.
