$23 CAD Spicy
Chicken 65 is listed under Non-Veg Appetizers for $23. The menu marks it spicy and describes it as deep-fried chicken bites in a mild tangy sauce, garnished with curry leaves.
Those two notes sit side by side: a spicy tag, and a description that calls the sauce mild and tangy. Aafrien’s published FAQ names Chicken 65 among the dishes marked spicy and says you should tell your server how mild or hot you would like your meal.
This is a chicken appetizer, not a vegetarian plate. The published details are deep-fried chicken bites, a mild tangy sauce and a garnish of curry leaves. In the same appetizer section, Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka are marked GF; Chicken 65 is not. The vegetarian appetizers include Gobi 65, described as cauliflower in a light batter, deep-fried with curry leaves, for $21.
Other non-vegetarian starters on that page are Tandoori Chicken ($25), chicken with bone marinated in hung yogurt, mint and spices and grilled in the charcoal clay oven; Chicken Tikka ($23); Chicken Seekh Kebab ($23), minced chicken grilled on skewers over low heat; and Ajwaini Fish Tikka ($22).
As a starter, it can come to the table with items from the sides and salads lists: Onion Salad ($6), Green Salad ($8), Mint Chutney ($3) or Papadums ($4). If you continue into a curry afterward, the menu’s non-veg curries begin at dishes such as Chicken Tikka Masala ($24) and Chef Special Aafrien Butter Chicken ($27), with Steamed / Pilaf Basmati Rice at $8 if you want rice as well.
