Anyone in the mood for some Hyderabadi Cuisine?
Well, the land of the NIzams have a lot in store when it
comes to food and not everything is super spicy!
In this post we’ll talk about the Hyderabadi Food Festival,
which is on at M Café, Marriott Whitefield Bangalore. This time they’ve mixed
things up a bit and the outcome was rather pleasant.
So, moving forward:
For this festival, the setup is just outside the M Café
entry so you can sniff up the aroma well in advance.
We tried a whole lot of items from the special festival menu
and the regular buffet and almost all of them deserve praise!
From the festival menu, the must tries are:
Starters: The Paneer & Lamb starters along with the Ulte
Tawe ke Paratha
Their Haleem had a smooth consistency and was super heavy on
the stomach! The taste was unparalleled and this was the culprit behind us
getting full. It has shredded meat all over, with caramelized onions & a
shallow fried egg on top. It was literally mouthwatering.
The Paneer starter was well done and soft. The Paratha along
with the lamb starter tasted heavenly. The lamb was slight spicy and tasted
similar to a mutton chaap but was boneless.
From the mains: The Lamb preparation called the Dakha Gosht
and the Paneer Pista Korma deserve a try! The fact is, one you try these you
might not be able to stop!
The former is cooked with lentils & is spicy and heavy
but super delicious. The latter is a rich paneer preparation which is green in
colour and the creamy consistency felt great with the soft cubes of paneer.

| Vegetarian Main Course Preparations |

| Haleem & Fish Tikka |
The Biriyanis tasted different and were pretty decent. They
were prepared in a different style and were slightly spicy.
Now it’s time for dessert.
Everything is worth a try but the special ones were: The
paper type dessert which was fun to have. Its name is very complicated though.
The Cham Cham was spongy and tasted good. A little less sweet and it would have
been much better.

Lastly, the beetroot halwa was amazing. The colour, crunch
added by the almonds and the taste was top notch. Moreover, it had the right
amount of sweetness as well.
There are many things to explore in this festival and we
have merely given a glimpse of what we feel is worth a shot.
That’s all from our side!
The festival is on till the 25th of this month.
Do let us know about your experience if you visit.
Till then—rock on & bon apetit!
