DELHI HIGHWAY - INDIRANAGAR






It is so nice to review different cuisines on a monthly basis and it is even better that one area offers them all. Review for the month of February 2018 is north Indian cuisine. Heard a lot about this place from Zomato so headed here with my friend. The a la carte menu sure is elaborate. We opted for the thali.

Ambience is pleasant without being OTT, soft lighting.

We were welcome with a litchi drink which was cool and delicious. And tasty masala papad. Here’s what we had and my comments against each item

Soup – Cream of tomato soup - Okayish

Chaat:

Bhalla Papdi Chaat – Good. Can do with less sweet.

Gol Gappe – If this one got an emoticon it would be a smiley and a thumbs up. Serves in shot glasses the pani was superb. We ordered round two.

Starters

Classic Paneer Tikka – Can't complain

Charcoal Mushroom – I like it and I don’t.

Veg Shammi Kabab and Naram Dil Kabab – Awesome! Can have more of this.

Mains:

Paneer tikka masala – Here we go again! Cant veg restaurants come up with anything other than paneer as everything? Paneer as starters, paneer as stuffing, paneer as main…enough already! That said, it was tasty.

Veg Kadai – Very, very good! The best among the main course.

Pindi Channa – Average.

Corn Palak – I returned mine but my friend told me it was blah!

Dal Delhi Highway – Nope.

Breads
Naan/Tandoori Roti – Nice and soft and buttery.

Rice :

Dum Biriyani – Runnnnn! I’ve never tasted anything so insipid. It needs to be taken off the menu.

Desserts

Gulab Jamun - Good
Jalebi with Rabdi - Good
Delhi Special Lassi – Good.

To sum it up – Great starters. Disappointing main course. Nice desserts.

Would I go again? : For the buffet no. To try other items from the menu (snacks).. maybe. Service is good here.

Overall rating : 2.5/5

Ratings for reviews:

1 – No! No! No!

3 –Good. Can give it a try.
4- Great!!
5 – Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
