A taste of Yellow Mirchi
This restaurant doesn’t need publicity No, seriously we . , mean it. Going by the packed house they had on a Tuesday night, it’s a wonder why they even bothered to invite us for a review. Anyway they politely , did, and we went. The experience turned out to be a mixed bag. The food was excellent, the ambience good, the crowd average and the live entertainment bad.
The cuisine offers an array of Indian and Chinese dishes, but we settled for Indian and didn’t regret having made that choice. For starters, we tried the Frontier Mix Grill Platter, which comes in portions customised for two or four people.
The Machhi Amritsari, a traditional deep fried sole fish fillet, was par excellence. Among the veg starters, the star was Harey Masale ka Bhuna Paneer, that has a strong yet refreshing flavour of coriander and mint. For main course, we stuck to the conventional and opted for Lazeez Murg Tikka, which was passable, while the Mutton Rogan Josh was right upto the mark.
Vegetarians must try the Makkai Palak (corn cooked in fresh spinach puree and aromatic herbs). Lalla Mussa Dal, a house speciality turned out , to be like any other good dal makhni, which somehow always finds its way onto a typical Punjabi dinner table.
For those with a sweet tooth, the lunch or dinner could come to a perfect conclusion with the creamy chocolate chip mousse which is sinful, to say the least.
