Nizami Nalli Gosht
A royal Hyderabadi delicacy where slow-cooked lamb shanks melt off the bone in a rich, aromatic gravy. Infused with hand-ground spices, saffron, and a touch of desi ghee, this dish brings the grandeur of Nizami kitchens straight to your table. Pairs well with: Garlic naan, butter roti, or steamed rice for a complete feast.
Dhamaka Dosa (Big 5’ Dosa)
Not just food, an experience! Our massive 5-foot dosa is crisp, golden, and made to wow. Served with a spread of chutneys and sambar, this South Indian classic gets the Dhamaka twist that makes it perfect for sharing, snapping, and savoring. Pairs well with: Filter coffee or masala chai for the ultimate South Indian vibe.
Tawa Tak-a-Tak (Your Choice of Chicken, Shrimp, Goat, or Paneer)
A sizzling street-style favorite cooked fresh on the tawa. Choose your favorite:
- • Tak-a-Tak: Tender chicken tossed with onions, tomatoes, and bold spices.
- • Shrimp Tak-a-Tak: Juicy shrimp seared to perfection with fiery masalas.
- • Goat Tak-a-Tak: Rustic, hearty goat cooked with a smoky flair.
- • Paneer Tak-a-Tak: Cubes of paneer coated in tangy, spicy seasoning.
Loose Prawns
A Mirch Dhamaka original and crowd favorite — prawns stir-fried to perfection with green chilies, curry leaves, garlic, and house spices. Bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat, this dish pairs perfectly with drinks or biryani. Pairs well with: Hyderabadi Dum Biryani or cocktails for the ultimate combo.
Adhraki Lamb Chops
Succulent lamb chops marinated overnight in ginger, yogurt, and our spice blend, then grilled to a smoky char. Juicy, flavorful, and with a gingery kick that keeps you coming back for more. This is indulgence done right. Pairs well with: Mint chutney, a side of Jeera rice, and a glass of red wine.
