Experience
an array of mouth-watering dishes reminiscent of the cuisines prevalent in the by
lanes of Saadi Dilli
If
you have a head for heights, you’ll love Baywatch for its high ceiling. The
restaurant brings Multi cuisine flair to the lobby level of the Hotel, with a
stylish yet relaxed atmosphere overlooking the pool. The outlet is famed for
hosting many food festivals and this time round it is Dehlavi, so I had to go as
no other restaurant in Dilli can be credited with creating mass appeal for Dehlavi
cuisine as Sheraton has.
Dehlavi
cuisine, like its culture, has stood high and unmatched by any other state in
India. Thanks to the capital’s chequered history and attractive Geographical
location, Dilli’s culinary fabric comprises a smorgasbord of eclectic flavours
and this is the cuisine where you discover what happens when artistic
Communities like the Mughals, Punjabis, Marwaris and the Kayasthas, each imbue
a work of art with their own unique touch.

Most
of the dishes that I tried at the Buffet were outstanding owing to the use of
special ingredients, carefully chosen and cooked to the right degree. The
addition of certain herbs, spices, condiments or an amalgam of these rendered a
unique taste and texture to each dish.
The star of the show however for me was the
‘Sarai Ki Biryani’; as I pushed open the dough ‘purdah’, a burst of fragrant
steam rushed out. Inside the pot, the long-grained rice was cooked to
perfection, and succulent meat simmered gently, suffusing the entire dish with
its spice-smothered flavour.
Another
stellar preparation was the ‘Nihari’ slow cooked mutton on a charcoal fire
through the night. (Also a Ramadan speciality eaten in the morning before the
fast begins). Served with warm khameeri roti, flaky leavened bread that is deep
fried, and a pickle made of chopped ginger and green chillies. The rich, tender
meat swam in spicy gravy laced with fat and melted in my mouth. …Majja Nu
Life!! What say!!
