Signature recipes and authentic thalis

At KAANA South Asian Canteen, we believe that every meal is an experience to be cherished. In Urdu, “kaana” means “to eat,” but it goes beyond just food — it signifies coming together, sharing stories, and creating memories around a table. Our curry menu changes daily, offering a variety of handpicked selections that range from tender meats to vibrant vegetarian dishes. From fragrant naans to slow-cooked masalas, every dish is a celebration of South Asian spices and flavours.

No two days are the same, ensuring there’s always something new to discover and enjoy.

Mingle over masala's

Having taken over the original Jam Street space, we recognise that Jam Street was more than just a venue — it was a gathering place for music lovers and a vibrant part of the local community. While our focus is on the love of food, we aim to keep the same warm and welcoming atmosphere that made Jam Street so special. We would love for the local community to mingle, share stories and experiences.

But should you wish to experience our dishes in your own home, you are welcome to call and collect or take-away at your leisure.

At KAANA South Asian Canteen, our commitment to authenticity extends to our fresh, handcrafted curries made every single day. Using carefully sourced ingredients and traditional family recipes, we prepare a range of curries that capture the rich and diverse flavours of South Asian cuisine. Whether you’re craving a comforting meat curry or a vibrant vegetarian option, we offer our dishes in both thali for individual servings and larger sharing sizes, perfect for gathering with friends or family.
