Our Specialities
Seeragasamba Mutton Biriyani
Traditionally served with cooling raita and a tangy gravy, this dish is a staple at festive gatherings and Sunday feasts. Its elegance lies in the subtle interplay of spice and softness, making it both comforting and regal.
Spicy Chicken Biriyani
Each spoonful delivers a satisfying punch—heat from the chilies, richness from the ghee, and the subtle floral notes of saffron. Often served with cooling raita and a tangy gravy.
Kothu
High‑energy South Indian and Sri Lankan street‑food classic, loved for its bold flavors and rhythmic preparation. It’s made by chopping flaky parotta into small pieces and tossing it on a hot iron tawa with spiced chicken or mutton, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and a generous mix of masalas. As it cooks, the ingredients are smashed and mixed with metal blades, creating that signature clattering sound that defines kothu roti stalls. The result is a comforting, spicy, and deeply satisfying dish with layers of texture—soft parotta, tender meat, and bursts of aromatic spices—making it a go‑to favorite for late‑night cravings and hearty meals.

“Great South Indian cuisine. I ordered dosa and parotta with chicken curry for takeaway, and the food was amazing. The parotta was beautifully flaky and tasty, and everything was packed well and still hot when I got home. Service was wonderful and friendly. A really satisfying takeaway experience.”
“Jay, the owner of this amazing restaurant has truly made it possible to taste authentic tamil food all the way to Melbourne! We ordered the non-veg meal with goat biryani, and 3 curries, the quantity was great for the price and unbeatable with the taste and freshness of the food. We also ordered ghee podi idly, its the kind of podi you taste at home and everything is made fresh everyday. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere at the restaurant is homey and comfortable, the prices are unbelievably affordable and the food is incomparably good. Would definitely return and often! Kudos to the owners and staff for serving such great food!”
