The Ultimate Seafood Crunch

A “Pakora” (or fritter) is a staple of Indian street food and homestyle cooking. What makes our authentic fish pakora in Oakland so special is our batter. Instead of heavy wheat flour, we use besan (gram flour/chickpea flour). This not only makes the dish naturally gluten-free but also provides a distinct, nutty flavor and an incredibly light, shatteringly crisp crust that protects the delicate fish inside from overcooking. 

Premium Halal Seafood & Spices

  • The Protein: Fresh, boneless, premium white fish, cut into perfect bite-sized pieces. 
  • The Batter: A gluten-free blend of chickpea flour (besan) and rice flour for maximum crunch. 
  • The Spices: Carom seeds (ajwain)—essential for seafood digestion and flavor—along with turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, ginger paste, and fresh garlic. 

Zesty, Savory, and Sharply Spiced

Fish Pakora is packed with warm, zesty spices but isn’t overwhelmingly hot. We highly recommend squeezing fresh lemon over the hot fritters the moment they arrive. 

  • The Dip: You must dip these in our house-made mint-cilantro chutney. The cooling herbs cut perfectly through the fried crunch. 
  • The Main Course: Follow up this seafood starter with a rich [Lamb Curry] or [Chicken Tikka Masala] for a beautifully balanced meal.
