Hearty Lunch & Dinner Mains at Zed The Baker
My café isn't just about the croissants. By lunch and dinner, I turn the oven heat up to serve hearty, comforting mains that bring a bit of Paris to our busy Bangalore days.
My lunch spread is designed for sharing and savoring. It features a juicy burger with potato wedges, a grilled panini, a fresh hummus platter, and a basket of crispy fries.
From our kitchen, with love. A top-down view of some of my savory favorites: a gourmet burger, a grilled panini sandwich, a hummus platter, and a side of fries.
My Arrabiata pasta is a classic comfort dish. I prepare it with a tangy tomato sauce that has a little kick, fresh basil, and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
This is my take on a chicken pizza, with tender pieces of chicken, fresh basil, and plenty of melted mozzarella on our hand-stretched dough.
A beautifully grilled fish steak, served with herbed rice and a zesty, fresh chimichurri-style sauce that cuts through the richness of the fish.
A satisfying two-handed grip on my gourmet burger, served on a black plate with seasoned potato wedges and a fresh side salad.
A perfect café pairing. This video showcases my Grilled Paneer Panini sandwich alongside two of our refreshing coolers, the Berry Blast and Peach Iced Tea.
I believe in savoring every flavor. Here, a crispy French fry is dipped into ketchup, with a juicy burger and a refreshing drink completing the perfect meal.
When in doubt, add more cheese. My creamy pesto penne gets a final flourish of grated parmesan, with a fresh pizza waiting in the background.
My savory menu is just as important as my sweets. This video moves from a pour of fresh coffee to a twirl of hearty spaghetti, showcasing the range of our offerings.
About Hearty Mains: Lunch & Dinner
Whether you're stopping by for a workday lunch or a relaxed dinner, my kitchen focuses on fresh, honest ingredients, like the Kegg Farms eggs in my shakshouka or the premium cuts I use for evening steaks in Indiranagar. If you're coming by for a meal, I recommend starting with the hummus platter or one of my fresh salads while you decide on your main.
While I started as a baker, my heart has always been in the full dining experience. As the day progresses, my café transforms, moving away from the morning coffee rush into a more relaxed bistro setting.
My lunch menu is built for those quick but quality breaks. You will find fresh options like my Orange and Sesame Chicken Salad, which pairs perfectly with a light panini or an avocado toast. For something more substantial, my Arrabiata pasta is a staple. It is tangy, fresh, and has just the right amount of kick.
When evening hits, particularly at my Indiranagar location, the energy shifts. This is when I bring out the steakhouse menu. Think premium cuts of lamb and fresh fish, seasoned with care and served with herbed rice. It is not about fine dining or stiff service. It is about good food, honest cooking, and a space where you can unwind.
I do not believe in shortcuts. I source eggs from Kegg Farms and fresh produce from Farm Theory, ensuring that whether you are ordering a gourmet burger or a rustic pizza, the foundation of the dish is solid. Every plate that leaves my kitchen is meant to be a comfort—a balance of European technique and the vibrant energy of our city.
