Idli, medu vada, pongal and upma introduce the softer, steamed and savoury fried traditions of South India, usually accompanied by sambar and fresh chutneys. Dosa choices range from plain and masala versions to Mysore, rava, onion, paneer and vegetable combinations. Uthappam provides a thicker rice and lentil pancake topped with onion, tomato, chilli or mixed vegetables.
Thali meals gather rice, breads, lentils, vegetables, curries, pickles and dessert on one tray for a varied introduction to the kitchen.

Vegetable and paneer biryani, pulao, curd rice and sambar rice extend the rice selection.
The menu also moves into Indo Chinese cooking with vegetable noodles, fried rice, chilli paneer and cauliflower dishes. Savoury snacks such as pakoda, bonda and channa batura suit lighter appetites. Rava kesari, gulab jamun, rasmalai, payasam, kulfi and ice cream finish the meal, while filter coffee, masala tea, lassi and fresh juices provide traditional and refreshing drinks.
