Every great meal starts with something exciting.

Whether you’re dining in with friends, grabbing a quick Indian takeaway, or ordering a full meal online, our vegetarian starters are designed to please your palate from the very first bite.

This is where street food meets restaurant-quality comfort. We serve fresh, crunchy, and flavour-loaded options that reflect the energy of Indian snacks—without compromising on quality. As a pure vegetarian Indian restaurant in Adelaide, we’re proud to offer a range of starters that are light enough to snack on, but satisfying enough to crave again and again.

What’s on the Starters Menu?

• Plain Fried Papad – Light, crispy, and perfectly salted, our fried papad is a traditional starter that adds a satisfying crunch to your meal.
• Masala Papad – A spiced version of the classic, topped with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and our in-house masala mix. It’s tangy, crisp, and full of flavour.
• Onion Salad – Freshly sliced onions seasoned with lemon, chaat masala, and coriander. This simple salad adds just the right zing and freshness to your plate.
• Garden Salad – A refreshing mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce. Lightly seasoned and ideal for balancing richer dishes.

Each item on this menu is vegetarian, freshly prepared, and intended to complement the rest of your meal—without overpowering it. They’re light, quick to serve, and perfect for sharing.

Pair It with Something Special

These starters go great with any main course on our menu—whether it’s a classic Vadapav, Pav Bhaji, or a full curry with naan. Add a side of jeera rice or a sweet drink like lassi to round off your meal. Whether you’re looking for something spicy or something refreshing, these starters help build a satisfying and well-balanced dining experience.
