At Spice Guys, we know the classic banana leaf rice is a feast for the senses: fluffy rice, a selection of vibrant curries, and an array of fresh vegetables. But for those who want to elevate their meal from great to truly unforgettable, our banana leaf menu offers a world of must-try add-ons. These supplementary dishes are not just sides; they’re an essential part of the authentic Southern Indian dining experience, designed to complement and enhance the rich flavours of your main meal. 

Here are 5 of our favourite add-ons that will transform your lunch into the ultimate banana leaf feast: 

1. Mutton Varuval (Dry Curry Mutton): A favourite among meat lovers, this dish features tender mutton slow cooked with a fragrant blend of spices until it’s rich and deeply flavourful. The dry, spicy texture provides a perfect contrast to the curries, making it a powerful addition to your plate. 
2. Fried Tenggiri (Fried Mackerel): For a crispy, savoury kick, look no further than our fried mackerel. Lightly marinated and perfectly fried, the fish is flaky on the inside and crunchy on the outside. A squeeze of fresh lime cuts through the richness, creating a refreshing balance that pairs wonderfully with the rice and curry. 
3. Chicken 65: A crowd-pleaser and a perfect starter, Chicken 65 is an explosion of flavour. These bite-sized pieces of chicken are marinated in a spicy blend of spices, fried to a crisp, and often served with a hint of red chili and curry leaves. It’s a fiery, aromatic dish that adds an exciting punch to your meal. 
4. Squid Sambal: For those who crave a bit of spice and a unique texture, the Squid Sambal is a must-try. Tender squid rings are cooked in a rich, spicy, and tangy sambal paste. The slight sweetness of the sambal beautifully balances the heat, creating a complex and addictive flavour profile. 
5. Crab Rasam: While technically a soup, this add-on is a game-changer for your banana leaf feast. A variation of the traditional rasam, our Crab Rasam is a peppery, tangy broth infused with the subtle sweetness of crab. It’s not only delicious but also a great way to cleanse your palate between bites and aid in digestion, making our banana leaf rice restaurant experience truly unforgettable. 

Adding these delicious dishes from our banana leaf menu is the key to unlocking the full potential of your meal. Each one brings a new layer of flavour, texture, and aroma, making your visit to Spice Guys a truly immersive culinary journey.
