About the thali
What's on the plate, how it's served, and how to ask for a sattvic or Jain version.
What's on the plate
Pulihora, pappu (dal), gongura pachadi, vepudu (dry curry), sambar, rasam, perugu (curd), papad, chutney, and a sweet, plated together. Rice, sambar, rasam and curd are unlimited. Specific dishes rotate by day.
Sattvic on request
Sattvic (no onion, no garlic) variants available on request. Call ahead so the kitchen sets aside a separate prep batch. Same format we run for gruhapravesham and satyanarayana vratam catering.
Banana-leaf seated for groups
Walk-in thali is plated. For groups of eight or more we set up banana-leaf seated row service if you book ahead. Same Banti Bhojanam format we run at catering events.
Add a dosa from the counter
Both outlets have a dosa counter alongside the thali line. Order plain, masala, ghee karam, or set dosa as part of your meal. The thali itself stays as-is with the unlimited refills.

Winter, January
VegSankranti special thali
Pongal and Sankranti is the harvest festival across Telugu households. The three days run as Bhogi (the bonfire eve), Sankranti (the harvest day proper, when the sun moves to Capricorn), and Kanuma (cattle-thanking day). Our thali tracks this sequence, with the canonical sweet-rice and savoury-rice forms of pongal at the centre.

VegUgadi special thali
Ugadi is the Telugu New Year, observed on Chaitra Shukla Padyami. The day opens with Ugadi Pachadi, the six-tastes mix that frames the year ahead: jaggery for sweetness, neem flower for bitterness, raw mango for surprise, tamarind for tartness, salt for the everyday, and chilli for the difficult. Our thali serves the pachadi at the head of the meal, then the seasonal Andhra spread that follows in Telugu households.

VegSri Rama Navami special thali
Sri Rama Navami marks the birth of Lord Rama, observed on Chaitra Shukla Navami, the ninth day after Ugadi. Telugu households assemble three offerings as the canonical Rama Navami prasadam: panakam (jaggery, pepper and cardamom water), vadapappu (soaked moong dal with grated coconut), and chalimidi (rice flour and jaggery). Our thali centres on this trio, with the rest of the sattvic plate built around it.

VegMango Festival thali
May for Mango is the Bisi Bisi annual mango festival, run through peak Telangana mango season. The thali is built around the fruit at every stage: raw, ripe, pickled, and sweetened. This is a brand event, not a religious one, and the menu shifts with the variety at its peak that week.

VegShravan Masam special thali
Shravana is the fifth month of the Hindu lunar calendar, observed by Telugu households for Varalakshmi Vratam (the Friday vow to goddess Lakshmi) and Mangala Gauri (the Tuesday vow). Many families keep the entire month sattvic. Our Shravana thali tracks this, with the standard household vratam-day spread.

VegVinayaka Chavithi special thali
Vinayaka Chavithi (Ganesh Chaturthi) is observed on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi, the day Lord Ganesha is welcomed into Telugu households for the multi-day Ganesh Utsav. The canonical Telugu offerings on this day are undrallu (steamed rice flour balls), kudumulu (jaggery-stuffed rice flour dumplings), and modakam (the pan-Indian Ganesha sweet). Our thali centres on these offerings.

VegNavaratri and Dasara special thali
Navaratri is the nine-night festival across Hindu India, with three nights each dedicated to Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Telugu households offer a different sundal each night following the day's deity. The festival closes on the tenth day as Vijayadasami (Dasara). Our thali runs the full ten-day arc.

VegKarthika Masam special thali
Karthika is the eighth month of the Hindu lunar calendar, considered the most auspicious month of the year by many Telugu households. Important days include Karthika Pournami (full moon) and Ksheerabdhi Dwadasi (the day Lord Vishnu and goddess Tulasi are honoured). Many families fast on Mondays and abstain from non-vegetarian food across the entire month.

Non-VegMutton thali
The mutton festival is a Bisi Bisi brand event, not a calendar festival. We run it once a year with a thali built around Andhra and Telangana mutton specialties. The kitchen sources fresh mutton each morning of the festival.
See mutton thali →Annual brand event
Non-VegSeafood thali
The seafood festival is a Bisi Bisi brand event tracking the Coastal Andhra and Telangana freshwater traditions. The thali draws on what's local: fish from the Krishna and Godavari belts, prawn from the coast, and the Andhra masala that goes with both.
See seafood thali →Year-round, daily (paused during Karthika Masam)
Non-VegNon-veg thali
Bisi Bisi runs a non-veg thali alongside the South Indian veg thali at both outlets. The base structure is the same as the veg plate: rice, sambar, rasam, perugu, sides. The difference is the addition of an Andhra-style non-veg item (chicken, mutton, or fish, varying by day).

Festival thalis run on their traditional dates. Call +91 90329 84111 a few days ahead to confirm availability and reserve a table.
Catering thali for groups
The same thali scales to 15 to 1,500 plates for catering events: wedding mornings, gruhapravesham lunches, satyanarayana vratam, shashtipoorthi, and family gatherings. Banana-leaf seated, buffet, or plated. Veg menus from 420 plus GST per plate.
South Indian thali FAQs
What's on the thali?
+
Pulihora, pappu (dal), gongura pachadi, vepudu (a dry curry), sambar, rasam, perugu (curd), papad, chutney and a sweet. Rice, sambar, rasam and curd are unlimited. The exact dishes rotate by day - the team confirms what's on the plate when you sit down.
Where can I get the thali?
+
Two outlets, both in Hyderabad. HITEC City (Phoenix Tower A, opposite Trident Hotel) is closer for Madhapur, Kondapur, Gachibowli and Kothaguda. Jubilee Hills (Aarka Prime, Plot 797, Road 36) is closer for Banjara Hills, Film Nagar and CBI Colony. Both run daily.
Can I get a sattvic (no onion, no garlic) thali?
+
Yes. Call ahead on 90329 84111 so the kitchen makes it as a separate batch from the start, not a substitution at the plate. The same sattvic format is what we run end-to-end for gruhapravesham, satyanarayana vratam and shashtipoorthi catering.
And a Jain or no-root-vegetable thali?
+
Yes, on request. Tell us when you reserve - Jain, no onion / no garlic, or no root vegetables - and the kitchen makes the plate separately with clean utensils. An hour's notice ahead of a Jain thali helps a lot.
Can I get the thali for a group or event?
+
Yes - the same thali scales for catering: 15 to 1,500 plates for weddings, gruhapravesham, satyanarayana vratam, family gatherings. Banti Bhojanam (banana-leaf seated), Buffet or Plated, your call. Veg menus from ₹420 + GST per plate, 36-hour minimum notice. WhatsApp 90329 87111.
Do I need to reserve?
+
Walk-in is fine for one to four people. For five or more, reserve on 90329 84111 - weekend lunches in particular fill up at both outlets.
