DHABA MAGIC: A REVIEW OF HOTEL HIGHWAY KAPILA.

 

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT OUR KAPILA HOTEL .IT IS ACTUALLY A BOON TO ALL OF US STUDENTS A THE UNIVERSITY. THEY HAVE A SET OF POLITE STAFF, 24HR DELIVERY SERVICE AND LIP SMACKING FOOD. WHAT ELSE DOES A SLEEP DEPRIVED, HUNGRY STUDENT STUDYING AT 1AM IN THE MORNING NEED???? .  I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT OUT OF ALL THE SURROUNDING DHABAS AND RESTAURANTS, KAPILA MIGHT BE THE BEST VEGETARIAN PLACE TO EAT. I, BEING A FOOD ADDICT, HAVE TRIED A LOT MANY DISHES AND DELICACIES AT KAPILA VIA DELIVERY AND DINE-IN.  

 IF U WANNA HAVE INDIAN, U GO TO THIS PLACE. THEY HAVE A VERY EXPERIENCED CHEF AND HE IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. I HAVE EATEN PARATHAS, ROTIS, NAANS AND CURRIES AND ALL OF THOSE LEFT ME LICKING MY FINGERS CLEAN. THE PANEERS PARANTHAS ARE SIMPLY AWESOME. WITH A SPECIAL MASALEDAAR FILLING OF MINCED PANEER FILLED BETWEEN SOFT, WELL COOKED LAYER OF BREAD, ACCOMPANIED BY A MINTY GREEN CHUTNEY. IT IS A PERFECT COMBINATION FOR A 3 AM SNACK. MIXED PARANTHAS AND ALOO PYAAZ PARANTHS ARE ALSO DELICIOUS. IN MAIN COURSE ITS PANEER AND MUSHROOM DISHES ARE CLOSE TO PERFECTION. SHAHI PANEER, PANEER TIKKA, AND PANEER BUTTER MASALA ARE COOKED IN A TANGY TOMATO SAUCE AND TASTE BEST WITH SOFT HOT TANDOORI ROTIS.  THE HOTEL IS ALSO AT A VERY GOOD LOCATION AND INFRASTURCTURE WISE IS PREETY ATTRACTIVE.

 IT ATTRACTS CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ON A DRIVE AND WANT A HYGINIC MEAL AT REASONABLE PRICES. PRICE WISE ITS PERFECT FOR A STUDENTS BUDGET. THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH ITS DELIVERY SERVICE THOUGH. THEY SOMETIMES FORGET TO SEND CONDIMENTS AND CONFUSE YOUR ORDER WITH OTHERS. BUT THAT ALL IS FORGIVEN IF THE FOOD IS WORTH IT.

OVERALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, IF U ARE HUNGRY AT NIGHT AND NOT IN A MOOD TO COOK. CALL KAPILA AND ORDER ANYTHING YOU WANT. I ASSURE YOU U WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED AT ALL AND WILL EAT TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT.

OUTER VIEW OF DINING AREA

                                                                                                       

IT WAS AN AWESOME NIGHT. AS I HAVE JUST COME BACK FROM ENGLAND. MY FAMILY AND I WENT OUT TO DINNER. AS MEMBERS OF STELLAR GYMKHANA IT WAS EASY TO GET IN. A MEMBERSHIP IS NEEDED THOUGH. THE RESTAURANT WAS PLEASANT. A POOL SIDE VIEW, AIR-CON IN THE SUMMER AND VERY AMICABLE STAFF. THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.

COURSE 1- SOUPS AND STARTERS

                                             DISHES ORDERED

                                                                       1.) CRISPY HONEY CHILLI POTATO

                                                                       2.)  TANDOORI CHICKEN 

                                                                       3.)   TOM KHAA SOUP ( THAI) 

THE STARTERS WERE A DELIGHT TO START WITH, AS HALF OF MY FAMILY IS VEGETARIAN, A VEG. STARTER WAS NECESSARY. THE HONEY CHILLI POTATO WAS PERFECT. THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SWEET AND THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SPICY. PERFECT BLEND. IT WAS TOPPED WITH MUSTARD SEEDS TO BRING OUT THE FLAVOR. THE TANDOORI CHICKEN WAS PROPERLY DONE. IT WASN'T CHARRED OR BURNED ON ANY SIDE. THE SPICES HAD REACHED THE CORE GIVING IT A FULL FLAVOR. IT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH AN PICKLED ONION SALAD AND MINTY GREEN CHUTNEY TO COMPLETE THE TRADITIONAL TANDOORI RECIPE. THE SOUPS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH THOUGH. THE TOM KHAA HAS A ZING OF COCONUT WHICH WAS MISSING. THE SOUP WAS TOO SOUR FOR ITS OWN GOOD AND MINT LEAVES GAVE IT A WEIRD FLAVOR. BUT AGAIN MY DAD LIKED IT I DINT. ITS ONLY A POINT OF VIEW

COURSE 2- MAIN COURSE

                                  DISHES ORDERED

                                                     1.) SAAGWAALA CHICKEN

                                                     2.) PANEER TIKKA MASALA

                                                     3.) ASSORTED BREADS

WE WERE QUITE FILLED BY THE STARTERS THE CHICKEN BEING PRETTY AMPLE, WE ORDERED A FEW DISHES FOR MAIN COURSE. SAAGWAALA CHICKEN IS A VERY AUTHENTIC INDIAN DISH. ITS CONSISTS OF PIECES OF WHOLE CHICKEN COOKED IN A CURRY OF SPINACH AND BLENDED WITH INDIAN SPICES.I GENERALLY LIKE IT IN A LIQUIDY KINDA STATE, LIKE A CURRY RATHER THAN IN A MORE SEMI SOLID WAY. IT WAS GOOD THE AS THE PALAK HAD COOKED FULLY AND HAD BLENDED WITH THE CHICKEN. PANEER TIKKA MASALA WAS AGAIN PERFECT. SOFT CUBES OF COTTAGE CHEESE COOKED IN A SPICY TOMATO BASED INDIAN GRAVY. IT WAS AS SPICY AS IT NEEDS TO BE . ONE OF THE BREADS I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION WAS THE KEEMA NAAN THE BREAD WITH A FILLING OF MINCED CHICKEN. IT WAS NOT UPTO MY STANDARDS. THE MINCED CHICKEN WAS KINDA SWEET AND NOT COOKED VERY WELL.
