The High-Tide Feast — Kadal Thali
Forget delicate seafood plates — this is a full-throttle journey through Kerala's coastline. An abundant feast of the day's freshest coastal catches: slow-simmered regional seafood curries, a rich dark-roasted masala, crispy spiced pan-fried fish, dry-roasted seafood chammanthi, traditional kappa and local sides.
£16.99
The Ten Fold — Pothi Chor
Smoked banana leaf parcel filled with layered rice, dual proteins, traditional coastal curries, pickles and crispy accompaniments.

The Classified Claypot — Chatti Chor
A hidden treasure map of coastal flavours. Inside the clay pot: rice deeply infused with fish curry gravy, loaded with beef, chicken fry, omelette, kappa, and a rotating selection of classic sides — thoran, kootucurry, chammanthi and pappadam. Mix it all up and uncover the flavour.
£12.99
The Wrapped Secret — Chicken Pothi Biriyani
Free-range chicken in aromatic Kerala spices, wrapped in banana leaf and slow roasted with fragrant Kaima biriyani rice, caramelised onions and herbs.

The Infusion Layer — Beef Pothi Biriyani
We don't just plate this, we trap it. Marinated beef and Kaima rice are sealed together, forcing the peppery oils of the meat to infuse upwards into every grain. The pristine top layer gives way to a dark, fiercely spiced feast the moment you stir from the bottom up.
