Great meals are defined by their beginnings, and here in Zürich, a world of authentic Indian flavors is just a delivery away. If you are craving something crispy, savory, and packed with spice, our starter menu is designed to wake up your taste buds and set the stage for a fantastic feast.
From the coasts of South India to the classic snack shops of the North, our selection brings the very best “shuruat” (beginnings) straight to your home. We ensure that every golden pakora and crispy samosa arrives at your door exactly as it should be: hot, fresh, and full of crunch.
Here is a step-by-step look at the starters we offer, perfect for sharing or enjoying all on your own.
A Celebration of Seafood
If you love the taste of the sea, our seafood starters are an absolute must-try. We bring the coast to you with two standout dishes.
First, the Prawn Pakora. Instead of the usual batter, we coat our juicy prawns in a spiced gram flour (chickpea) batter. This creates a uniquely crispy, gluten-free-friendly shell that pairs perfectly with the sweet tenderness of the prawns inside. It is a true authentic flavor bomb.
For those who prefer rings, the Squid Rings are the perfect choice. We take tender squid rings, give them a light seasoning, and fry them to a beautiful golden crisp. Simple, delicious, and incredibly moreish.
The Quintessential Vegetarian Bites
Indian vegetarian cooking is legendary, and our starters are a testament to that. We use fresh vegetables and a signature blend of spices to create snacks that are loved by everyone, not just vegetarians.
Vegetable Samosa: You cannot have an Indian meal without a samosa. Our classic version features a crispy, golden pastry shell stuffed with a hearty and spiced mixture of vegetables. It’s the ultimate Indian snack.
Onion Bhaji: A true classic. We take thinly sliced onions, mix them with gram flour and a blend of spices, and fry them until they are crispy, golden, and bursting with flavor.
Vegetable Pakora: This dish is all about variety. We take a mix of fresh seasonal vegetables, coat them in our signature spiced gram flour batter, and fry them to crunchy perfection. It’s a vegetarian starter that never gets boring.
For the Meat Lovers
We haven’t forgotten those looking for a protein-packed start. Our chicken starters are juicy, crispy, and incredibly tasty.
The Chicken Samosa puts a delicious twist on the traditional favorite. We fill our golden, crispy pastry with seasoned minced chicken, ensuring every bite is both crunchy and juicy.
If you are a fan of deep-fried goodness, the Chicken Pakora is the dish for you. We take boneless chicken pieces, marinate them in spices, and deep fry them to perfection. The result is a starter that is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tasty all over.
Something Soft, Fresh, and Cool
A great starter platter isn’t just about the fried food. It’s also about balance. We offer a couple of options to cool down the palate or to enjoy alongside your meal.
Prawn Puri: A slight departure from the fried snacks, this dish offers a soft, deep-fried Indian bread served warm. It’s soft, fluffy, and ideal for dipping and enjoying with your curries later.
Mixed Salad: For something light and healthy, our fresh mixed salad is the perfect choice. Served crisp and refreshing, it cleanses the palate and adds a fresh crunch to your order.
Raita & Plain Yogurt: To balance the spices, you need yogurt. Our Raita is fresh yogurt mixed with mild spices and herbs, making it the perfect cooling companion. If you prefer it unadulterated, our Plain Yogurt is smooth, natural, and refreshing.
