The Food
The Tiffin Room has an excellent North Indian food buffet. The extensive menu covers all sorts of meat, seafood and vegetable prepared with different spices, salads, appetizers, and a whole host of home-made condiments of chutneys, sauces and pickles. In addition, the desert buffet's spread of cold & hot deserts, fruits and cakes & pastries gives diners endless possible ways to end a meal.
Primarily a North Indian buffet, the variety of dishes, tasting almost home-made, served in the Tiffin Room will surely pamper your senses. Meat lovers would do well to have the Laal Maans (Rajasthani Lamb Curry in a Fiery Red Sauce). Don't be fooled by its name and colour, for this dish is not as spicy as it sounds. The lamb that is paired off excellently with the curry, is cooked to perfect tenderness, and altogether awards a mouthwatering burst of spiciness and sweetness that is certainly noteworthy.
The Jinga Lucknowi Qorma (Prawns in a Cashew and Cardamom Sauce) is an atypical dish that would come to mind when one mentions the word “curry”. While Chili is used more liberally in South India, the use of nuts is typical in North India . In this dish, succulent prawns are cooked in a fragrant creamy sauce. While not so strong in flavour, it is pleasantly light and tasty.
Another attraction of the buffet is the live cooking station, where guests can watch the masterful chefs preparing different dishes right before their eyes, and also savour the cuisine fresh and hot from the stove.
For dessert, the homemade Mango and Almond Ice Cream is a must-try. The combination of mango and almond makes a unique blend, coupling the sweetness of the fruit and the crunchiness and slight bitterness of the nut together. The ice cream is fresh and luxurious, generously infused with bits of almond.
The best refreshment to accompany such an exquisite meal would definitely be their range of lassis which is yogurt with fruit. Choose either Mango, Strawberry, Pineapple accompanied by tinges of Sweet, Salted or Plain, depending on your palates, which will close your meal on a favourable note.
