A perfect tray of our Bengali Fish Fry, golden and crispy. We use a traditional recipe with a breadcrumb coating that gives it a satisfying crunch while keeping the Bhetki fish inside tender and moist.

Each piece of our fish fry is carefully prepared to ensure consistency in taste and texture. It's a staple at weddings and parties for a reason, loved by guests of all ages.

About Signature Starters
It is not just about what is on the menu, but how it lands on the plate. We keep our signature fish fry warm and crispy by frying it in small, consistent batches, rather than piling it up beforehand. This ensures the last guest gets the same crunch as the first, avoiding the soggy texture that ruins a good Bhetki.
Our approach to starters centers on the 'live' experience. We believe appetizers are the most important part of any event, as they set the tone before the main course even arrives.
The Art of the Fish Fry Our Bhetki fish fry is a staple of our catering menu. We stick to the traditional recipe, replacing wet batter with breadcrumbs for that classic, crunchy exterior. We serve this with Kasundi, a pungent mustard sauce that provides the necessary sharp contrast to the delicate Bhetki fillets. By managing the frying on-site, we prevent the moisture from the fish from softening the crust, a common issue in large-scale catering.
Live Tandoor Station We do not believe in pre-cooking tandoori items. We bring our clay tandoor to your venue, firing it up so that paneer, chicken, and mushrooms are grilled to order. This captures the smoky aroma that simply cannot be replicated with ovens. Our specialist chefs manage the heat, ensuring that each piece remains juicy.
Planning Your Menu When booking, consider the flow of your event. We recommend pairing heavier non-veg starters like Chicken Tikka with lighter options such as crispy corn or chaat to keep the palate engaged. Our team handles the entire setup, including skirting and display, to ensure the station looks as welcoming as the food tastes.
