Prawns, Purple Poppadom style.
True to our roots in the beautiful coastal flavours of Kerala, seafood has always held a special place on our menu. From rich, aromatic moilee sauces of garlic, ginger and coconut milk to king prawns finished in the tandoor with bold masala spice, our prawn dishes bring together warmth, depth and coastal freshness in every bite.
Crafted from scratch by Chef Anand George and his team.
