Chef's Signature Starters
Our starters are the reason people keep coming back to our corner of Mohammed Ali Road. From crispy fusion bites to our famous cheesy sizzler plates, these are the dishes we take the most pride in.
A behind the scenes look at how we prepare our signature Double Cooked Chicken. The chicken is first cooked, then fried for extra crispiness, and finally tossed in our special sauce before being plated.
A closer look at our Double Cooked Chicken starter. You can see the crispy fried chicken balls tossed in a rich sauce, topped with grated cheese, and served on a hot sizzler plate.
Our Crackling Chicken is all about the texture. It features crispy fried chicken topped with a generous amount of shredded cheese and served with a tangy dipping sauce. The crunch is incredibly satisfying.
Here we showcase two of our popular starters side by side: the vibrant green Pesto Chicken and the crispy Crackling Chicken. It's a great view of the different flavours and textures we offer.
A crowd favourite, our Chicken Cheese Fries. This dish combines crispy french fries loaded with a creamy cheese sauce and topped with our Chef's Special spicy chicken bites.
This is our Sticky Chicken, a dish that's both crunchy and cheesy. The chicken is fried to a perfect crisp and then coated in a special creamy, cheesy sauce, making it a truly indulgent starter.
Our Bang Bang Cheese Chicken is an explosion of flavour. Crispy chicken pieces are tossed in a spicy, creamy sauce and topped with cheese for a delightful starter.
The Safeer Cheese Chicken is presented as crispy fried chicken fingers, perfect for dipping. They come with a shot of our chef's special sauce and a side of cheese, allowing you to customize each bite.
These are our melting in the mouth chicken lollipops. They are fried until golden and served coated in a savoury sauce, making them a classic and delicious starter.
A unique take on a classic, our Candy Kulfi is actually a savoury chicken starter. Chicken is shaped like a kulfi, fried, and served on a stick, making it a fun and tasty appetizer.
About Chef's Signature Starters
You'll notice our signature starters are often served on hot sizzler plates—that is a deliberate choice. We fry the chicken fresh and finish it with our house-made sauce right at the table to ensure that when it reaches you, the dish is still bubbling, crisp, and full of flavour. If you are coming with friends, I recommend starting with our Chinese Mix Platter to sample the Double Cooked Chicken, Cocktail Candy, and Black Pepper varieties all in one go.
When we designed this starter menu, we didn't want to just serve appetizers. We wanted dishes that force you to pause and appreciate the effort behind the recipe.
Take our Double Cooked Chicken. It’s a process we’ve refined over time: we fry it to lock in the juices, toss it in our signature sauce, and finally finish it with grated cheese on a scorching sizzler plate. That extra step of cooking isn't just for show—it’s how we get that smoky char while keeping the inside tender.
If you are a fan of textures, you’ll find that contrast throughout our menu. Our Crackling Chicken focuses on a loud, satisfying crunch, while our Bang Bang Cheese Chicken uses a creamier, richer profile. We know our guests love cheese, so you’ll see it generously used across our Sticky Chicken and our Loaded Cheese Fries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these dishes suitable for large groups? Absolutely. We designed our Chinese Mix Platter specifically for tables of 3-4 people so you don't have to choose just one flavor. It includes nine pieces across three of our most popular signatures.
Can I customize the spice levels? Everything is cooked to order in our kitchen, so yes. If you prefer your starters without the extra chili kick or want a bit more of our signature sauce, just let the server know when you place your order.
Is there seating available for evening diners? We are located right on Mohammed Ali Road and get quite busy in the evenings. We recommend calling ahead for reservations, especially if you are coming with a group of more than six people.
