From Mughal Palaces to Modern Plates
A Royal Feast for the Senses

Welcome To
Nallas Aappakadai

Experience the Fiery Aromas of Chettinad, The Richness of North India, and the Wok-Tossed Flavors of China.

Nalabagam (நள பாகம்), a term from the ancient language Tamil (தமிழ்), translates to “a splendid culinary experience”. Drawing from the rich tradition of Tamil cusine, Grand Nallas Aappakkadai offers a delectable array of dishes that will tantalize your taste buds, featuring our signature Aappam (ஆப்பம்) – light, crispy pancakes made from fermented rice batter.

Originating from the Southern regions of India and Sri Lanka, Tamil cuisine is renowned for its unique balance of the six tastes (அறுசுவை) – sweet, sour, bitter, salty, astringent and pungent. Each taste not only excites the palate, but also provides a range of health benefits.

Indulge in our selection of fermented delicacies like Idli, Dosa and Vada, paired with rich flavourful Kuzhambu (curries), made from a variety of vegetables and meats, infused with aromatic spices. Each dish is designed to awaken your senses and satisfy your appetite.

We invite you to experience the time-honored flavors of Chettinad curries, a hallmark of Tamil cuisine, known for their bold, complex flavors. Join us for a culinary journey that celebrates the best of Southern India!
