Capital Fare

Housed on the terrace area of Indi Spice,it’s a welcome change to be seated alongside the hotel’s newly opened pool. The terrace boasts little shacks (to recreate a street-food feel) housing golgappas,chaat-papri and tikki stands along with a make-shift dhaba. For many foodies,street food can bring back the most delicious of memories or the worst. It was hard to resist and we headed straight for the golgappas. Well,they were good and coming from hygienic environs,we couldn’t resist a second helping.

The sizzling hot tavas dishing out kebabs and hardcore non-vegetarian fare such as keema kaleji give the festival an air of authenticity. Delhi-6 is better known as Old Delhi and famous for its kebabs such as toondey kebab,chicken burra and mahi tikka. These find their way in here as well. For vegetarians,bhutta kebab is a welcome change and tastes soft and flavoursome. The kulcha-channa we sampled,although low on spice,was worth a bite. It’s a buffet spread (only for dinner) and the choice of snacks including the kebabs and tangy street fare will leave you spoilt for choice. But like us,it would be wise to save up space for the main course. Even in this section,it’s a good mix of non-vegetarian and vegetarian fare. We recommend the gosht biryani,served straight out of the handi,and the Nihari. The latter was really well done and the meat dishes definitely gave stiff competition to their chicken counterparts.

As elated as we were with the main course,the desserts didn’t live up to our expectations. The mango kulfi had a strong acidic aftertaste that had us reaching for Agra ka petha for respite. The petha was fine. If you really must,end your meal with the rabri-jalebi instead.
