Small Plates and Fresh Salads Designed for Sharing
Begin your meal with dishes that balance texture, acidity, and heat. From delicate ceviche to house-made choux buns, our starters are designed to be shared and savored slowly.
The beauty of a plate is in the details. Our Thai Curried Salmon Ceviche is a perfect example, with its delicate wreath of salmon and avocado, bright tobiko, and a pool of savory, creamy dressing.
This dish has been on our menu since day one. The Chicken Liver Parfait Choux Buns are topped with a moreish red wine and balsamic onion jam. It's my take on a classic French flavor combination.
A salad that’s a composition of sweet, heat, and crunch. Our Watermelon and Cucumber salad is dressed in a jalapeño-laced raw mango agua chile and finished with feta, black lime salt, and toasted quinoa granola.
We take our salads seriously. Here, we build our chicken wedge salad with crunchy iceberg lettuce, tender chicken, and a roast garlic and parmesan dressing, finished with bacon and sourdough crumble.
Our Truffle Focaccia De Recco is warm, toasty, and melts in your mouth. This fresh, handmade bread is filled with an artisanal cheese mix and is perfect for sharing.
New on the menu: Burrata and Strawberry Confit. Creamy burrata is served over a tomato and berry tartare, with a surprising strawberry ketchup and fresh rocket. It’s a delightful mix of sweet and savory.
A Plats classic: Seared Steak Tartare. We serve it with a pommery mustard relish, pickled chilies for a bit of heat, and beautiful, crispy mulberry potato chips.
These Prawn Croquettes are a perfect bite-sized starter. Minced prawns are mixed with ginger, garlic, and sweet miso, then fried until golden and served with a creamy aioli.
Back for a limited time by popular demand. These are our smoked pork and chorizo dumplings, served in a spiced tomato and chorizo broth and topped with a crispy bacon crumb.
A closer look at our Thai Curried Salmon Ceviche. The soft heat from the curry, the bright lime, and the silken fish come together beautifully.
About Small Plats & Fresh Salads
When you order our starters, expect texture. We do not just plate food, we compose it. Whether it is the contrast of sago crisps against silken salmon in our ceviche or the crunch of sourdough crumble on our chicken wedge salad, every dish here is built to give you that balance of crisp, sweet, and savory in a single bite.
At Plats, we treat our starters as the beginning of a conversation. We believe that a meal should be an unhurried affair, and these plates are our way of slowing down the pace from the very first bite.
Our kitchen in Malviya Nagar is a playground. We do not operate like a traditional restaurant lab, we experiment. You will find that our small plates are influenced by our travels, like the classic French technique in our Chicken Liver Parfait Choux Buns or the bright, sharp notes of Thai street food in our Salmon Ceviche. We focus on contrast, pairing elements like smoky jalapeño agua chile with fresh watermelon and cucumber to create something that feels new yet familiar.
These dishes are crafted for those who enjoy variety. We encourage you to order a few different plates to share, as the menu is designed to move through different flavor profiles. We use house-made ingredients, from our complex Red Chilli Sambal to the Romesco sauce that anchors our vegetable starters. We source premium proteins, and we finish everything with precise garnishes, like micro-greens and edible flowers, because we believe the visual experience is just as important as the taste.
Whether you are stopping by for a light evening bite or settling in for a longer meal, these starters are where we set the tone for the rest of your experience.
