It can be paired with a wide range of side dishes, from familiar favourites including ayam rendang, beef briyani, and mutton, to seafood options like sotong, chilli squid, and chilli prawns.

To round out the meal, a selection of vegetables and eggs is also available.

If plain rice isn’t your thing, the biryani offerings, including Beef ($7.50) and Chicken Biryani ($7), will add extra oomph to your meal, while Tandoori Tikka ($12.50) and Tandoori Chicken ($12.50) are perfect for a hearty treat.
