Customers are given a multi-course menu called the Chef's Menu where they are served three snack dishes, four appetisers, three main dishes, and two desserts at an approximate price of SGD238+ (RM756) per person.
According to the Michelin Guide, "Thevar’s creative multi-course menu rooted in Indian traditions and crafted with European techniques receives praise from the MICHELIN Guide inspectors for its fascinating combination of flavours and the Penang-born Indian chef’s unique perspective. The food here is described as an array of Indian-inspired cuisine with a fun, modern gaze."
