Whether you're collecting dinner or booking a table for family, expect fast service, bold flavours, and a menu packed with variety. Order online or visit us for a true taste of India.
This fiery South Indian classic is a must-try for lovers of bold, punchy flavours. Our Chicken 65 is marinated in a spicy blend of chilli, garlic, and curry leaves, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Served with fresh onion and lemon, it's the ideal starter to wake up your tastebuds.
An indulgent tandoori selection perfect for sharing. This Mixed Tandoor Platter includes juicy chicken tikka, lamb chops, king prawns, salmon tikka, and kebabs, all cooked over live flames in our traditional clay oven. Served with mint chutney and salad, it’s a full-on tandoori experience in one dish.
Authentic, aromatic, and slow-cooked to perfection – our Hyderabadi Biryani layers fragrant basmati rice with delicately spiced chicken or lamb. Cooked in the traditional dum style, the flavours are sealed in for a rich, wholesome bite every time. Served with cooling raita or spicy curry on the side.
This creamy curry is a vegetarian favourite that never disappoints. Cubes of soft paneer simmer in a smooth tomato and butter sauce, flavoured with fenugreek, cream, and mild spices. Our Paneer Makhani is rich, silky, and goes perfectly with naan or rice for a soul-satisfying meal.

Succulent king prawns marinated in a blend of yoghurt, garlic, lemon, and tandoori spices. Cooked in our traditional clay oven for a juicy, smoky finish. Our Tandoori King Prawns are a seafood lover’s dream – fresh, fiery, and packed with layers of flavour.
A slow-cooked Kashmiri-style lamb curry that’s rich in flavour and deep in aroma. The Lamb Rogan Josh at Grand Cholas is made with tender lamb chunks, cooked in a thick sauce of onions, garlic, ginger, and robust spices. This dish is best enjoyed with naan or jeera rice.
Our Gun Powder Dosai is a crisp rice and lentil crepe dusted with spicy podi (gunpowder) masala. Served with coconut chutney and hot sambar, it’s a South Indian street food favourite that’s crunchy, spicy, and comforting all at once. A must-have for dosa fans.
These tender lamb chops are marinated in traditional Awadhi-style spices and grilled to smoky perfection. The Lucknowi Lamb Chops are juicy, aromatic, and full of depth. Finished with herbs and served with lemon wedges, they’re a standout starter or side to any curry meal.
