Popular South Indian Dishes at Nitara

These are the dishes southwest Edmonton orders most – dosas spread to order on the griddle, steamed tiffin classics, slow-layered biryani and bold regional curries, all made fresh with traditional spice blends.

Our Menu

Chicken Biriyani

Long-grain basmati layered with marinated chicken, caramelised onions, mint and whole spices, then sealed and slow-cooked so every grain carries the aroma. Served with cooling raita – made for family dinners and group orders.

Goat Biriyani

Tender goat slow-cooked with basmati rice, fried onions and whole spices until the meat is falling-off-the-bone soft. A rich, hearty biriyani for guests who want bold, deeply spiced flavour.

Kappa Biriyani

A Kerala speciality unlike any other biriyani on our menu – soft boiled tapioca (kappa) tossed together with a spicy, richly spiced beef masala. Earthy, filling and unmistakably regional.

Kuttanadan Pepper Roast

A Kuttanad-style roast finished with a generous hit of crushed black pepper, curry leaves and slow-caramelised onions. Dark, dry-roasted and packed with heat – a favourite for spice lovers.

Beef Ulathiyathu

Beef slow-cooked and dry-roasted with ground Kerala spices, crisp coconut bites and curry leaves until deeply caramelised. A classic Kerala beef fry, dark and intensely flavourful.

Beef Kizhi Porotha

Layered Kerala porotta shredded and tossed together with a spicy beef masala, onions and curry leaves. Comforting, hearty and full of texture – a Kerala Special guests keep coming back for.

Travancore Chicken Dosa

A crisp dosa folded over a Travancore-style spiced chicken filling. Where our classic dosas meet a bold, regional non-vegetarian filling – a Nitara signature.

Mysore Cheese Dosa

Our crisp dosa spread with fiery Mysore-style red chutney and topped with melted cheese. Spicy, cheesy and utterly moreish – a modern favourite alongside our classic dosas.

Venadu Pal Konju

Plump shrimp simmered gently in a mild, aromatic coconut milk gravy. A Venad-style coastal classic – delicate, creamy and full of seafood flavour.

Travancore Fish Curry

Fresh fish simmered in a Travancore-style coconut and spice gravy. Bright, coastal and comforting – a taste of Kerala's southern shoreline.
