About this menu

Akshaya, The Picture Drome is a South Indian restaurant in Liverpool, and the food on offer runs from small plates and tandoori starters through to biryani, noodles and curries. The South Indian special section includes idly and plain dosa, while the tandoori starters take in tandoori broccoli and chicken tikka. Kothu dishes and Indo Chinese noodles and fried rice sit alongside chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetable curries, with Indian breads, rice and sides to go with them and dessert to finish.

Vegetarians and vegans can head for the vegetarian and vegan starters and curries, and the tandoori starters include tandoori broccoli too. For a smaller order, the chefs' small plates, such as dosa tacos, can be paired with parotta from the Indian breads.
