Must Try: Grilled Chicken Breast with Potli Gravy |
There was a time when casual dining meant a Chinese or an
Italian meal at a restaurant before some restaurants started doing Indian food
in a way that made it quick, fun and moved beyond the butter chicken, rogan
josh and seekh kebabs. Barbeque Nation is one such chain that made Indian food
popular among the upwardly mobile Indians who were bowled over by its concept
of DIY (do-it -yourself) live grills .
Keeping with that tradition of doing Indian differently,
Barbeque Nation has launched its ‘Global Cuisine Indian Style’ food festival
that is on from 1st to 17th August at all Delhi outlets.
I happened to preview the menu and before I write about the food let me tell
you it was their beverages that blew my mind. Paan Shots (Vodka shots paan
flavoured), concoction of Jim Beam with Guava and the jaamun mocktail were the
high points of my meal.

Prawns in Indian Sauce |
The must try
from this menu include the succulent Grilled Chicken Breast (with potli sauce),
prawns in Indian sauce, mushrooms with cheese and the Chinese Biryani. Other signature dishes
that this food festival offers include the likes of Roasted Lamb in Thai
Curry, Mexican Baked Potato Curry and Mushroom ‘n Pasta in Indian Arabiata sauce.
Just like the cocktails, the desserts too are impressive. There is red and white
Kheer, Rasgulla Litchi Cake, Masala Spice Brownie and Kappi Pie- innovative and
delectable desserts.
I also met the man behind the new menu Chef Vijay
Anand Bakshi who is Barbeque Nation’s Head of Culinary Operations. Bakshi has worked
with some of the biggest hospitality brands across the country. Though five
star hotels didn’t give him a chance to experiment much, at Barbeque Nation he
says he is free to try innovative dishes. His freedom is patrons delights
this Independence Day. The new menu indeed is innovative but doesn’t go too far
from the standard Barbeque Nation menu.
Off late with so
many Indian restaurants, both in casual and fine-dining space, crowding the
Delhi-NCR many foodies have stayed away from Barbeque Nation saying the live
grill place known for its long queues doesn’t serve lip smacking appetizers anymore.
The patrons who have fallen off with the brand must try this new menu. They
might want to return to the restaurant.
