In short

Groups & sharing at The Octa

A Kottu Sawan is the easiest way to feed a table: one big platter of kottu, made with organic eggs in the chicken and mixed versions, with homemade chilli paste or chilli gravy on the side.

Add a few share plates such as cheese chilli fries, hot butter cuttlefish or devilled chicken, a round of mojitos or shakes, and crepes to finish.
