Menu starts with shorbas. Murg zafrani shorba and tamatar dhaniya shorba are your best bet. What follows are appetizers. Out of all try kakori kebab. But a little more experiment doesn’t hurt anyone. Tandoori jheengey, Bhatti ka murg, bunda pala, kastoori kebab, burrah kebab, pathar ke kebab, dahi ke kebab and kurkure khumb will not disappoint you. The mains are as exciting as well. Balti murg, dum ki macchi, nihari, Haleem, bhuna gosht Rawalpindi, dum aloo Kashmiri, makhani dal and amritsari chole will stun you with its layers of flavours. In the biryani section do sample gosht dum biryani as it is incredibly good. Kacche gosht ki biryani is beyond anything you have tasted before so don’t ignore the recommendation in this case. Pair the gravies with khameeri roti and you will not go wrong. Spices are well balanced and the gravies are explosion of flavours on your tongue.
The sweets are as surprising too as the mains. Amongst the conventional angoori rabri, gulab jamun, Kashmiri phirni and kesar pista kulfi you will be delighted to find beetroot ka halwa. Innovative and unusual, try the halwa if you feel adventurous. The beverages section offers assorted teas, coffee and Kashmiri kahwa. The regional kahwa is a hot tea infused with spices and almonds. It is very tasty. Coriander leaf is only medium expensive but not much. Under fifteen hundred you can take a friend out for dinner/lunch and impress them with a modern restaurant serving traditional food.
