K & K - Mini Bukhara@ ITC Welcome Hotel Dwarka - 3.5/5




Being an ex-ITC Hotel's employee myself and having savored delightful food at Bukhara and Dum Pukhkt a multiple number of times, I was excited when Welcom Hotel opened its doors to public some time back. I was excited that I can visit the replica of Bukhara – K & K in the heart of dwarka, very close to where I Stay and enjoy the menu of Bukhara the ITC Hotels award winning fine dining cuisine brand, having a menu prepared by the famous master chef Imtiaz Qureshi – A menu similar to the food served in royal courts of the Moughals. The menu has dishes that use varied cooking techniques from Presenting Dum cooking in handi’s, tandoor’s, angeethi’s and tawa’s, all these all set to make your meal a unique experience. Imtiaz Qureshi has been responsible for many wondrous creations at the ITC group of hotel restaurants & you may go to any Dum Pukht, Bukhara, Peshawar or Kebabs & Kurries — the taste of the dishes won’t change. Bukhara, which is still running over 35 years later with his original menu of North-West Frontier Province cuisine.
K & K at Welcom hotel in Dwarka is very prominently located, it is a Magnificent restaurant in a magnificent hotel. With dim lights and small lamps at the entrance, all make up for a very enchanting decor. A tasteful ambience clubbed with great service ensure that you are up for a great meal experience. Very good menu with some great dishes of the North west frontier cuisine and various set options to cater for everyone’s need. The ambience is great, uniquely designed & very welcoming. The service is very spotless, just as one would expect from a 5 star category hotel. However the food was just good. I was expecting some excellent food and got good food. Prices are a little heavy on ones pocket, but well, if you are dining at a 5 star restaurant, you should not be complaining. Coming to what we ate:-
  • Machli Tikka- Marinated sole fish Chunks, with a dash of Mustard oil, roasted to a perfect amber colour. This was simply a wow fish Tikka, so tender, so soft and mushy, and the marination of the spices made it super. My rating 4/5
  • Bermuda Triangle- My Mocktail with Orange juice, Strawberry crush, gingerale and soda
  • Murgh Angaar - Great boneless tikka's, marinated in spices, ginger- garlic, mace, fenugreek leaves, drizzled with lemon juice on top, is a delight to ones senses. You will love the tender kebab's and the taste of the masala's in your mouth. My rating 4/5
  • Dal Bukhara - This needs no introduction, with a drizzle of butter on top, this was just as I had thought - divine - My rating 5/5
  • Murgh Handi Qorma - Cooked with the famous Galauti masala - Lazat- e- Tam, this failed to impress me. The gravy had a funny taste, slight sweetish, not for me. My rating 2/5
  • Burrhani Gosht - Garam masala, yoghurt and garlic flavoured lamb, that tastes divine with a varqi paratha. Amazingly well spiced and great flavour. My rating 4/5
  • Gosht Dum Pukht Biryani - The baap of all Biryani's with tender chunks of Mutton that melt in your mouth and the spices and the aroma of Basmati rice and enough to make yo drool. My rating 4/5
  • Zauq- E- Shahi- Chenna Gulab Jamuns topped with Rabdi and Silver varq is a nice twist to the traditional gulab jamuns. Perfectly sweet, without an overdose of sweeetness. My rating 3.5/5
Over all A great satisfying meal.
