Starters & Small Plates at Zed The Baker
Start your evening in Indiranagar with bites that wake up your senses. From crispy, golden starters to soul-warming soups, here is how I set the table for the perfect meal.
To start your meal, I recommend my golden-battered Fish Sticks. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with a classic, creamy tartar sauce for dipping.
A preview of the starters I'm proud to offer. This video shows the preparation of my cottage cheese steak, the fresh crunch of a side salad, and the irresistible appeal of my crispy fish sticks.
I believe in doing the simple things right. Here you can see the process of making my perfectly golden French fries, from the fryer to the final seasoning, ready to be served hot and crispy.

For something warm and comforting, I offer this creamy mushroom soup. It's made with fresh ingredients, garnished with a swirl of cream and crunchy croutons for texture.
About Starters & Small Plates
When you are settling in for dinner, I always suggest starting with the fish sticks. They are battered in a way that keeps the exterior golden and crisp while the fish inside stays tender, and I pair them with a sharp tartar sauce to cut through the richness and wake up your palate before the main course arrives.
My Indiranagar kitchen transforms from a daytime café into a relaxed evening space from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM. The starters I have put together for this menu are about doing the simple things right—focusing on texture, temperature, and fresh ingredients that actually satisfy.
Why Start Here?
If you are coming in for the steakhouse experience, you want an appetizer that builds anticipation without filling you up too quickly. My mushroom soup is a go-to for many—I make it with fresh mushrooms, finishing it with a swirl of cream and house-made croutons for that necessary crunch. It is the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug, especially on a rainy Bangalore evening.
The Focus on Quality
Every dish on this starter menu is handled in small batches. Whether it is the classic bruschetta or our crispy fries served in wire baskets, I believe a starter should set the tone for the entire meal. I do not rely on pre-made mixes or shortcuts. You will taste the freshness in the herbs, the quality of the oil in the fryers, and the balance in the dressings we use for our salads.
A Note on Our Evening Service
Our evening menu is exclusive to the Indiranagar location. We keep the vibe casual, not uptight, but the level of care we put into the plates is elevated to match the dinner setting. If you have questions about the daily specials or want to know what is freshest today, just ask the team when you arrive. We are here to make sure your dinner starts exactly the way you want it to.
