Food Talks
Journey started with their welcome drink known as Sharbat – e – gulaab a simple refreshing rose drink. Best way to get Vitamin C.
Then the journey further moved to their starters where we got an opportunity to try some special kebabs prepared by Chef Izzat and are named after him. Izzati Kebab veg is a flavorful delight to your taste buds. It consist of Rajma and an array of spices.
The non vegetarian Izzati kebab is prepraed using the same techniques and spices as the vegetarian counterparts.
Zarakush murgh tikka is classic and flavorful murgh tikka. It is juicy and succulent and marinated with zarakush.
Kalapasi Paneer tikka : Soft paneer chunks marinated in secret spices and and grilled in a clay oven.
For the Mains I must compliment that rather than confusing their patrons with 70-80 dishes the buffet was brief yet excitingly delicious. The dishes were rich in flavors and nutrient’s still it will make you feel light and you will not be guilty if you end up over eating.
For mains I strongly recommend their chakundar paneer which is one of the finest paneer dish I have tasted in a while , It had a great variety of spices and dish was very really photogenic and well presented. Other than that main highlight still remains the shahi subz korma, kaju kumbh ki biryani and again a brilliant masterpiece by the gem himself known as Izzat ki Roti.
The journey ended on the same sweet note as it started with Tar Zaffarani halwa and chenna kheer.
