About this collection
The secret to our appetizers isn't just the recipe; it’s the timing. By setting up live stations at your venue, we ensure that every paneer tikka or veg lollipop hits the plate straight from the heat, never sitting around to get soggy. This live approach changes the vibe, turning the starter course into a focal point where guests gather, watch the cooking, and enjoy the aroma.
When we plan a menu, we look at the flow of your event. Appetizers are your guests' first impression of the food, and they need to be distinct. Whether you are hosting an intimate housewarming or a large wedding in Bengaluru, our team brings the heat directly to your venue.
Our Approach to Live Appetizers
We move away from pre-plated trays. Instead, our chefs operate live stations so the food reaches the guest at peak crispness.
- Tandoor & Grill: Items like our Paneer Tikka are marinated, skewered, and grilled on-site. You get that charred, smoky flavor that simply cannot be replicated by buffet warmers.
- Crispy & Fried: Our Veg Lollipops, Hara Bhara Kebabs, and Samosas are fried in small batches. This prevents them from losing their texture, ensuring they stay crunchy and light.
- Coastal & Traditional: We also feature items like Rava Fry, where vegetables are coated in spiced semolina and pan-seared. It is a coastal classic that brings a unique crunch and savory profile to the menu.
Customizing Your Menu
We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all starter list. If you prefer a mix of Indo-Chinese bold flavors and traditional South Indian snacks, we can design a combination that suits your crowd. We manage the setup entirely—uniformed staff, high-quality disposable or melamine serving options, and all necessary cooking equipment—so the only thing you need to worry about is your guests.
