Here's what we tried:
.
๐น๏ธMutton Biryani ($15): instead of using basmati rice, they have used organic seeraga samba rice ๐, whose short grains creates a slightly mushy texture similar to glutinuous rice (but not sticky)! ๐๐๐ Of a higher price than basmati & lower in calories, this is good stuff ya! ๐ฏ Really like the texture & robust flavours as it is cooked with succulent pieces of baby goat meat ๐ & hand-grounded spices.
.
๐น๏ธTawa Meen Roast ($15): super worth the price! โ Especialy love the crispy top of this filleted fish๐ which is breaded with special spices & roasted. A non-spicy dish that is a crowd favourite ๐, spread some sweet tomato ketchup ๐
& mayo atop to balance out the savoury flavours of the fish! ๐๐ป
.
๐น๏ธTheepori Lolly Pop ($11): spice lovers would love this! ๐ Chicken drumstick takes a twist here marinated with spices & black pepper. ๐ถ
.
๐น๏ธEgg Masala ($10.50): perfect for eating with biryani or naans! ๐ณ Expect some rich & creamy flavours - non-spicy! ๐๐ป
.
Quench your thirst with their Jigarthanda ($8) which is like a strawberry ๐ almond milkshake topped with vanilla icecream ๐ฆ, or try their Lime Mint Cooler ($4.50) for a refreshing treat. ๐
