10Tasty North Indian Food in the Heart of***CityBenaras Indian Restaurant and Lounge has unpacked the spices, seasonings and flares of North Indian cuisine right in the heart of***City! We were even treated to their Royal Experience which was definitely a night fit for queens! To start our endless meal we had a Hot and Sour Chicken Soup which was warm, filling and the perfect amount of spice to make me wish my bowl was bottomless. For our vegetarian starter we dove into a Paneer Tikka packed with taste. Grilled veggies accompanied by beautifully sliced pieces of golden paneer (cottage cheese). Delicious. For our non-vegetarian starter we opted for the Boneless Chicken Tikka, a special spice marinade giving loads of flavor! After a delicious start to our royal meal, it was time for the main course! Our tasty Vegetable Tawa Masala was an incredible array of flavours and the Dal Makhani was a yummy combination of lentils cooked with butter and cream to create a unique flavour that utterly soothed my soul! Our non-vegetarian main, Chicken Tikka Masala was creamy and rich in the best possible way and the Mutton Shahi Korma was a gorgeous mixture of spices combined with tender pieces of lamb which gave it an edge over the other dishes! I mean, naan and roti are an integral part of any Indian meal. So, we just had to get our hand on the Tandoori Roti and the Garlic Naan. One bread I’ve never had the chance to try is the Stuffed Tawa Paratha and let me tell you, it was incredible! Whether or not you’re a rice lover, there is no escaping the aroma a plate of Kashmiri Biryani gives off. Kashmiri spices combined with the long grained Basmati rice, tenderly cooked meat and topped with colourful dried fruits is a stunning addition to any meal. No matter what anyone thinks or says, there is always room for dessert. This Indian version of ice cream, Kesar Kuffi, was such a treat to our taste buds and the Vermicelli in Milk was a simple but deliciously sweet milk pudding left us leaving on cloud 9. If you're looking for a spicy bite in the Saigon, Benaras and Benaras Gardenia will transport you on a journey through Northern India’s streets where the aroma of spices welcomes you and mouth watering flavours leave you wanting more! I can’t wait to go back again! ...Xem thêm
