If you have been exploring cuisines for a while,this place might just add to your taste and knowledge. A cursory glance at the menu card and you will travel from the shacks of Goa to the beaches of Mexico and back to our very own Maharashtrian delicacies prepared in all authenticity. Getting the globe right there on your platter,Kitsch,the multi-cuisine restaurant of The O Hotel,Koragaon Park has the best offerings in town.
With a spread of around 86 covers,this space houses an assortment,including a bakery and confectionery section and an exclusive bar,in addition to hosting regular food festivals. Not keeping the menu cuisine-specific,you can find all of it embedded as you run through the course. For instance,from the Grilled Jumbo Shrimps on Lemongrass Skewers from Vietnam or the Kolambi che Bhujane — a Maharashtrian style dish,there is a fusion of variety to experiment from the international and Indian spread.
The restaurant also lets you order any preparation to customise services, adds Milind Patel,executive Chef.
The interiors are attractive,with spoon-shaped lamps above tables and use of glass to give a feel of space as well as non-uniformity in terms of the seating arrangements. We have tried to keep the experience as interactive as possible. The bar houses an 18 feet tall transparent space stocked with some of the finest wines in the world,all on display to let you make your own drink. After 8 pm,there is a 50 per cent discount on the bakery items, says Ankoura Verma,assistant training manager.
For all those who want a surprise trial,walk in for the ongoing Goan food festival that has all those traditional delicacies from Vindaloo to Feijoada with Arroz priced at Rs 400 (lunch) and Rs 500 (dinner). A few random delicacies are Spinach Empanadillas,a Filo pastry stuffed with fresh spinach and ricotta (Rs 295),Rocket,Wilted Spinach,Ceps and Walnut Salad (Rs 295),Gucchi Anar Biryani (Rs 395) and Noormahal Gosth Biryani with baby lamb and lamb mince kofta (Rs 395),Turkish WrapTurkey and Vegetables stuffed in whole wheat tortilla (Rs 295). And to complete the exotic drive,the chef recommends his chocolate pastry,promising it is the most delicious,letting you overlook all the guilt. We agree.
