About this collection
When you choose our non-veg starters, you aren't getting generic, pre-made bites. I insist on preparing our signature whole roasted chicken and crispy prawn cutlets fresh, using the same wood-fire vessels we use for our main course biryani. I always encourage you to visit our kitchen for a tasting before you book, so you can see exactly how we prepare these dishes and ensure the spice levels are perfect for your guests.
Authentic flavor comes from traditional methods, which is why we don't rely on modern ovens. Every piece of our Chicken 65, our spicy Kaadai (quail), and our fresh fried fish is marinated in our family's secret red masala and cooked over a wood fire. This process gives the meat a distinct smoky aroma and a texture that you simply cannot replicate with gas or electric cooking.
My starter menu is designed to be a centerpiece, not just a side dish. We present our whole fried fish and roasted chicken on banana leaves, making the table look as good as the food tastes. Whether you are hosting a traditional wedding, a family function, or a large political gathering, these dishes are crafted to scale. I handle the entire preparation, ensuring the crispy exterior and juicy interior remain consistent even when serving hundreds of guests.
If you have a specific requirement, like a seafood-heavy menu or a preference for boneless preparations, let me know. We also offer live counters for fresh popcorn or chaat to pair with these starters, adding that extra layer of interaction for your guests. My focus is on total transparency, so you are welcome to inspect our ingredients and see the live cooking process for yourself.

I am Anbu Raj, and for me, a feast isn't complete without a proper spread of starters. I cook everything using traditional wood-fire methods, ensuring every piece of chicken, quail, or fish has that deep, smoky flavor you won't find in modern ovens. I treat your event like my own family function, so I personally ensure the quality remains at the peak of grandeur.
