The Story of Milaanj
A Culinary Journey

at The Beehive

The inspiration behind Milaanj

“Milaanj” is derived from the Hindi word “Milan” (मिलन), meaning “union” or “coming together.” It reflects our vision of blending timeless Indian flavours with modern gastronomy, creating a harmonious Milaanj of cultures on every plate. Set within the historic Beehive pub, our space is designed to offer a warm, intimate dining experience where food, hospitality, and community come together beautifully.

Our culinary philosophy

At Milaanj, we believe in celebrating ingredients—sourcing the finest, freshest local produce while infusing our dishes with modern Indian influence. Our menu is a love letter to India and Europe, crafted with creativity and passion. We offer a regularly changing seasonal menu with contemporary Indian dishes alongside beloved pub classics where every dish is meticulously crafted in-house. From our signature breads and sauces to our exquisite ice-creams and chocolates, every element is lovingly made in our kitchen using only the finest and freshest ingredients.

A Space for Every Occasion

From elegant dining experiences to cosy pub evenings, Milaanj at The Beehive offers something for everyone. Whether you’re here for an intimate dinner, a business meal, a weekend brunch, or a casual drink by the fireplace, our space is designed to make you feel at home.

More than a Restaurant – A Community Hub

We are proud to be a part of the Berkshire food scene, bringing people together over a shared love of food, conversation, and culture. Our goal is to create an environment where memories are made, flavours linger, and every visit feels special.

We invite you to be part of our journey, to taste our vision, and to create unforgettable moments with us.
