Grilled Prawn with garlic bread |
All the sins in one spoon , lemon butter , prawns , garlic .. brilliant dish by Chef Trepan . Perfect even sized prawns . Basically you have to enjoy the grilled prawns soaked in lemon butter , then take the garlic bread break it dip it in the sauce and relish it .. yum .
Poutine - Bacon |
I was not meant to try this dish ..but then tigers weakness is Bacon and that too with cheese and that too on top of friend .. how could i resist ... have had this dish or snack all over the world and trust me the cheese makes the difference unfortunately our cheese is not pungent , sticky enough to relish this poutine .. but having said that .. a greater starter with your cocktails and pure sin for the indulgent .
Southern Style Gun Powder Chicken |
This was a eye catcher .. look at the awesome wooden bowl , real rustic style of serving the chicken . The south Indian way of a kfc .. spicy crispy chunky served with the dosa wali red sauce .. tomato and chilly based .. nala irke , Loved the crispyness , the tangyness of the chicken .. the floating kadi pata added a nice distinct flavor to the dish , and specially tot he wedges .
Armageddon Burger (Spicy Lamb Burger) |
Here comes the king , Basic , filling , juicy , fresh and great value for money .. Loved the onion rings for starters .. the burger itself was well made .. shud i say like home or wil it be taken negatively.. The patty was nice big and juicy , recommended to the chef to have a hand pounded patty instead , just to make it more rustic . it was fun eating the jumbo burger for only 399 . a total steal .
Indian chicken Risotto |
Hahahahahaha coudn get over this dish Butter chicken gravy Risotto.. so cool and why not . Butter chicken is a winner thanks to its sauce and thanks to the chicken .. The texture of a risotto the flavor of the desi butter chicken . perfect mix for a punjabi hehehehehehe A good combination and i love the Serving dish ..
Desi Tenderized Lamb Cutlets with Minty Ghee Emulsion |
Desi Tenderised Lamb Cutlets .. hehehehe pyar se bolo Galotui Kebabs hehehhehe Dont know did they want it to be positioned as a conti dish or its just a googly in english . Whatever it was perfectly blended meat , super masala's , great meaty flavors .. good binding .. went very well with the great accompaniment of the chutney . A super starter yet again .. but will ask Trepan about the name funda for sure hehehehehehe
