Full menu

    Dungeness crab for two that some diners rate among their favorites; limited availability and pre‑order requested.

  • Gunpowder Dosa

    Repeatedly called out by diners as a standout—paper‑thin, crisp, and delicious—with potato masala and sambar.

  • Ghee Roast Lamb Chops

    Often a favorite for its tender, deeply flavored lamb, served with vegetable pulao and salna.

  • Valiya Chemmeen Moilee

    Frequently highlighted as a top dish: perfectly cooked lobster in a rich, creamy spiced sauce of mustard, turmeric, and coconut milk.

  • Mulaikattiya Thaniyam

    A bright, spicy starter of sprouted mung beans with coconut and smoked chili—praised as a perfect kickoff.

  • Annasi Pazham Scallop
