A Namkeen Experience
How to get there:
Drive down towards the Domestic Airport and you will spot the Dome Shaped Sahara Star Just go straight In.
Ambience:
The Ambience of this Place is simply fascinating. What makes it this way is that the entire Hotel Sahara Star has a spectacular Aura surrounding it.
Space and Place:
It tends to get a little crowded and noisy when the place is packed to capacity. Trust me, dont walk in without a Booking You could land up there at an odd hour on a weekday and be taken aback with the fact that people throng for this Place even though it is a Bit expensive.
What to Eat:
I have savoured their Non Veg and their Veg Cuisine. Dishes to try by Meat Eaters would be Chicken in any form Yes, any form of Chicken will have its own lingering and strong masala effect drive your Taste Buds up the roof.
Veg Eaters can stick to the conventional Panner Panner Zayka is good if you love strong flavours. Avoid the Roti and try the Nan instead Stays soft for quite some time even after being served considering the Air-conditioning.
If you are someone who is a Rice Freak then call for a Hundi Biryani It comes in a beautiful container. Do not walk away without having the Dal Makhani Have the Dal with a Roti and not with Rice to enjoy the real Flavour.
I have not tried the Sweet Dishes but seeing the place I would suggest you avoid and Ice
Cream and try a Kulfi instead as the place is purely Indian.
Make sure to have a look at the Awesome Hotel and the other Restaurants before you leave after Dinner.
Service:
The Service is Ok and you would be Greeted in the Typical Sahara Style Sahara Pranaam
What I Simply Love:
If i was to List down a few things I simply Love they would be:
1. Cutlery The Plates and the Glass in which you would have your Meal are very Authentic and have a deep Rural Feel to it
2. The Waiter would ask you if you want to have your Meal by Hand or with a Fork and Spoon They generally Coax you to have the meal with your Hands so you get a truly Indian and Rural experience but a Fork and Spoon is just a request away
3. The manner in which you can wash your Hands is like the Icing on the Cake Worth it if you have Eaten with your Hands.
Cost:
A Non-Veg Meal for 2 Rs. 1500 and a Veg Meal for 2 Rs. 1200
All in All - A highly Namkeen Place.
