Skip the standard dining rooms—this Docklands cloud kitchen runs purely on phone pre-orders and direct curbside drop-offs. Malayali regulars track it down for proper Thalassery biriyani, slow-cooked with fragrant short-grain jeerakasala rice instead of basmati. Flaky, layered parottas pair up with dark, spicy beef roast and rich chicken curry, handed over hot right through your car window.
- Thalassery Biriyani: Cooked in true North Malabar fashion using aromatic short-grain jeerakasala rice rather than standard basmati.
- Curbside Pre-Order Only: Runs out of a residential Docklands address; phone orders are brought straight to your parked car.
- Parotta & Beef Roast: Flaky, layered flatbreads boxed alongside slow-cooked, peppery beef roast and traditional chicken curries.
