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.

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.

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.
