About À La Carte Kerala Food Delivery
Taste That Feels Like Home
Food for me is about memories. Every dish on our menu has that Kerala soul - fiery, nostalgic, and straight from my family’s kitchen. I cook with a lot of heart, so when you dig in, you’ll know this isn’t just regular delivery food. It’s the kind that makes you say, “Mazaa aa gaya!” (That hit the spot!)
Your Kerala, Your Way
The menu’s like a mini tour through Kerala:
- Mappila biryanis full of spice route flavours
- Syrian Christian stews and roasts, creamy and pepper-packed
- Thattukada-style street classics, bold and rustic
Mix and match - go for Malabar biryani on demand, creamy Nasrani stew delivery, or the smoky prawn mango curry everyone’s hooked on. There’s headliners, but also surprising sleeper hits (try the fish biryani when you feel adventurous).
Single Meals, Big Flavour
Not in a sharing mood? No problem. My solo Mallu Bowls and Pothichoru meal Mumbai style are packed up for a full-on Kerala experience in one go.

My Story
I was that suit-and-tie guy, chasing deadlines, but food was always my real scene. Sara and I, we wanted Mumbai to taste Kerala as it really is – not just the Instagram stuff, but the food that feels like home. Jackfruit Thoran, a proper sadya, the fire of a toddy shop, all those stories on a plate. For us, bringing people together over food, sharing a real Onam Sadya feast, that's what makes it all worth it. NairOnFire is about tradition, warmth, and a bit of spice.
My Work
Home-style Kerala food & catering - We deliver classic Kerala meals, do pop-ups, cater weddings, parties, and serve festival feasts like Onam Sadya.
Signature Kerala flavours - From fiery biryanis to Pazham Pori & Buff Roast combo, our menu covers the best of Kerala, veg and non-veg.
Sadya - the big feast - Try our Superfood Veg Sadya or go for UnSadya, the non-veg Kerala meal – both are full-on celebrations.
Sleeper hits & cult classics - Don’t miss our Chicken Rumsticks, Al Faham Chicken, and Kerala pickles and podis – people come back for these.
Mumbai delivery & pop-ups - Order from Bandra, Mahim, Powai, or catch us at pop-ups in other cities. We’re always cooking up something.
