Kebab capers

However,the pricing does rankle a bit,what with most dishes being too overpriced. A word about the spread on offer,first. There are separate sections titled Kabab King ki Khaasiyat,Hyderabadi Khaasiyat,Non-Vegetarian Starters,Vegetarian Kababs and Starters,Veg and Non-Veg Main Course,‘Eggetarian’,Pulao and Biryani,Red Hot Spicy Andhra Food and Indian Breads.

From the Kabab King ki Khaasiyat,presented by Chef Aslam Khan,who hails from Lucknow,on offer are such dishes as Tandoori Machchli (Rs 900),which is an entire surmai fish marinated and grilled whole in the tandoor,Jumbo Prawns Tandoori (Rs 500),which comprises of two king-sized prawns in a tandoori masala of choice,Galawat Ke Kabab (Rs 250),the world-famous recipe of marinated minced lamb,shallow fried in pure ghee and served on mini reshmi parathas.

Among the starters,the Murgh Hariyali Saunfiya Kabab (Rs 160),boneless chicken marinated in an aniseed-flavoured gravy,is worth a mention for its unique flavour. Also,the Murgh Nadershahi (Rs 160),boneless chicken delicately simmered on dum in a non-spicy curd gravy is another unique preparation,along with the Murgh Zamarrudi (Rs 160),which is chicken with fresh spinach,coriander and ginger-garlic in a mild green gravy. For the adventurous,there’s the Jhinge ki Biryani/Machchli ki Biryani (Rs 250),prawns/fish cooked with masalas and aromatic rice in a sealed handi.

Overall a pleasant dining experience,Kabab King can surely do with a relook at its pricing and by providing speedier service.
