There’s something unmistakably comforting about a desi breakfast: the rich aroma of spices, the warmth of freshly made parathas, and the undeniable satisfaction of a hearty meal to kickstart the day. In a world of trendy brunches, the traditional South Asian breakfast still holds its ground, and for good reason. The full-bodied flavours, soulful textures, and variety bring a certain joy to the table, making Sunday mornings special for many of us. This sense of tradition, mixed with excitement for what’s on the plate, keeps desi breakfasts timeless.
Now, imagine all these comforting elements served up with a twist at Angeethi, a popular food spot already known for its desi cuisine and famous rolls. Expanding its offerings, the desi joint now serves a full-fledged nashta (breakfast) every Sunday at their Tipu Sultan branch, inviting to indulge in a spread packed with authentic flavours and a touch of innovation.
Starting the day here is an experience that’ll have you wanting to roll out of bed early. The halwa puri, a signature favourite, is served piping hot with spicy chanay and aaloo tarkari that hit the spot with every bite. The puris are perfectly golden and crispy, making an ideal pairing with the sweetness of fluffy halwa, an irresistible dessert-like addition that balances the savoury notes.
For those who prefer parathas, the menu won’t disappoint. Their pizza paratha brings a unique twist to tradition, combining gooey cheese, chunks of seasoned chicken, and a mix of vegetables to create a filling that could easily rival any pizza. And if you’re a fan of simpler flavours, the aaloo paratha, served with their special chutney, is a savoury treat, crisp on the outside with a warm and comforting potato filling that feels like a hug in every bite.
They haven’t forgotten egg lovers, either. The selection ranges from half-fry and full-fry eggs to various omelettes, each bringing something special to the table. The Pakistani omelette is a standout with its finely chopped green chilies, onions, and coriander, adding just the right amount of spice and freshness to the fluffy eggs. And if you’re in the mood for something richer, the cheese omelette is delightfully creamy, making it a satisfying option to keep you full for hours.
To wash it all down, there’s the thandi meethi lassi, a refreshing and cooling companion to balance the spices on the plate. Their karak chai, a strong, traditional tea, is the perfect finishing touch, rounding off the meal with its robust flavour.
This new addition to breakfast promises desi comfort food with a modern twist. Whether you’re craving the spicy warmth of halwa puri or a cheesy pizza paratha, their menu hits the spot. So next Sunday, if you’re ready to break away from routine, head over to Angeethi for a breakfast that promises a perfect start to your day with a perfect desi meal.
