For the main course, we couldn’t resist the Malai kofta paired with buttery naan. Honestly, those velvety koftas, plump roundels of magic floating in a rich, luscious gravy, could make anyone weak in the knees. Next was Aloo matar paneer, a hearty dish that looked as inviting as it tasted. The medley of vegetables and spices came together in perfect harmony, delivering home-style richness without sacrificing authenticity.
But if there’s one dish that absolutely stood out, it is the legendary Dal makhni. Thick, creamy, and topped generously with fresh cream, it is pure indulgence. Then came the moment we had secretly been waiting for, the arrival of Chicken biryani. As the aromatic steam hit us, we knew we were in for a treat. With each forkful, our hearts felt fuller; it was the kind of happiness only good biryani can bring.
To wrap up this royal affair, we savoured Kheer benazeer, a dessert so delectable, it felt like a sweet dream. Drizzled with delicate strands of kesar and crushed pistachios, it was utterly delightful.Each bite through the meal whispered stories of tradition, leaving us feeling like we were part of something truly grand.
