Mehnaz Kitchen

About Mehnaz Kitchen

Mehnaz Kitchen, on the ground floor of Nucleos at 21 Biopolis Road in Queenstown, serves a menu that roams across Indian cooking — from street-style chaat and snacks through tandoori claypot dishes, sizzlers and biryanis to Indo-Chinese favourites — with vegetarian and non-vegetarian cooking given equal space throughout.

Vegetarian diners are well looked after: veg dishes are marked with a leaf symbol across nearly every section, and dedicated vegetarian categories cover snacks, starters, Indo-Chinese, main courses and rice and noodles. The non-vegetarian side runs through chicken, mutton and seafood, from chicken lollipop and the fiery Chicken '555' to butter chicken and prawn masala. South Indian roots show in the Thosai Delight and tawa-special parotta sections, while egg dishes, desserts, hot and cold drinks, fresh drinks and milkshakes round out the rest of the menu.

Lunch is a speciality in itself: set combos exist in vegetarian form (paneer butter masala, palak paneer, Chettinad veg curry, poori and chapathi sets) and non-vegetarian form (butter chicken, chicken tikka, chicken 65, mutton, fish and prawn masala, plus biryani sets). For bigger appetites there is a takeaway family pack sized for four people. Orders for pick-up or delivery go through the kitchen's own online ordering site, where a member's area lets regulars apply promo codes, vouchers and points.

Mehnaz Kitchen: Indian Comfort Classics and Indo-Chinese Favourites on Biopolis Road

Mehnaz Kitchen sits on the ground floor of Nucleos at 21 Biopolis Road, in the Queenstown district of Singapore's west. Open its online menu and you are handed a map of Indian cooking: chaat and snack counters up front, soups and starters, tandoori claypot dishes and sizzlers further in, then biryanis, breads, thosai and tawa-special parottas — with two full Indo-Chinese chapters running alongside. It is a lot of ground for one kitchen to cover, and that is rather the point: this is a menu built for a table whose members want wildly different things.

The vegetarian side of the menu gets top billing, and deservedly so. Veg dishes are marked with a leaf symbol across nearly every section, and whole categories — snacks, starters, Indo-Chinese, main courses, rice and noodles — exist in dedicated vegetarian form. The snack list alone is a small festival: pani poori and dahi poori by the six-piece plate, samosa and vada, onion and paneer pakodas, aloo bonda, pav bhaji and a nine-piece bajji platter spanning three types. Even the soup list carries vegetarian and cream-of options side by side.

The Indo-Chinese sections — the chilli-and-vinegar-spiked hybrid cooking beloved across the subcontinent — appear in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian form, so a mixed table can order fiery starters and saucy mains on the same ticket without anyone compromising.

From chaat to claypot

Beyond the snacks, the starters lean happily on the '65' style of frying: gobi 65, paneer 65 and mushroom 65 for vegetarians, with chicken 65 and the numbered Chicken '555' on the other side of the ledger. Chicken lollipops, crumb-fried chicken, fish fingers and honey chilli lamb fill out the non-vegetarian starter list. Soups run from a bright lemon coriander and a classic hot and sour to a peppery mutton pepper soup, while the tandoori claypot and sizzler categories promise the sort of dishes that arrive at the table still hissing.

The main courses are sorted by protein — chicken, mutton, seafood, and a full vegetarian column — with biryanis, rice and noodles, Indian breads, a Thosai Delight section and tawa-special parottas covering the starch spectrum. Egg dishes, desserts, hot and cold drinks, fresh drinks and milkshakes handle everything a proper feast needs after that. It reads like a one-stop answer to the question, what do you feel like?

Set lunches built for the workday

For the offices around Biopolis Road, the lunch combo sets are the practical play. Vegetarian sets span paneer butter masala, palak paneer, paneer tikka and a Chettinad veg curry, alongside poori and chapathi sets; the non-vegetarian list answers with butter chicken, chicken tikka, chicken 65, mutton masala, fish masala and prawn masala. Biryani sets in vegetable, chicken and mutton form appear on both sides. The sets turn a multi-dish cuisine into a single, easy decision. For evenings at home, a takeaway family pack is listed as a four-person combo, designed to feed a household in one order.

Order ahead, eat on time

Ordering runs through Mehnaz Kitchen's own site: choose pick-up or delivery, select a date and a fifteen-minute timeslot, and build your cart from the full menu at your own pace. A member's area adds a rewards layer — promo codes, member vouchers and member points can all be applied before checkout — and a Recommended page flags the dishes the chef and regular patrons point to first.

That combination — a genuinely two-track Indian and Indo-Chinese menu, clearly marked vegetarian options at every turn, and set meals made for repeat weekday visits — is what gives this kitchen its character. Stop in for a bajji platter and a milkshake, or load a family pack for the table at home; the menu is built to flex either way.
