While the classic version is perfectly charred and medium spiced, the mint and coriander variant, along with the peppery creamy malai kebabs are a delight. We start with the classic Arabic Chicken Skewers, with creamy pairs of chicken tikka, malai and hariyali kebabs. The food menu has Tamil Nadu specials like Madurai Mutton Chukka, Guntur Chicken Plate and even the classic Curd Rice with Ghee Roast Chicken which also make an appearance!

Foraying into South India for the very first time, restaurateur Priyank Sukhija has partnered with city-based partners Raj Thirumal, Manish Khubchandani, Kartic Ramesh and Kartik Elamvazhuthi for the Nungambakkam franchise. If you're in the city, it is a good time to witness the nightlife flourish, as Lord Of The Drinks, becomes the newest pub to get added to the evolving scene.
