Indulge in the delicious range while enjoying the selection of
traditional drinks, especially chai (tea), iced water, sherbet, lassi or
squash. From the traditional bread like chapatis, tandoori roti, paratha
and naan made out of wheat flour and freshly baked in an open clay oven
daily to Basmati rice pulao and the sumptuous biryani (especially the
popular Murgh) with pickles, there is something for everyone including
the incredibly popular Tahiri biryani, vegetable kebabs and Lahori
dishes like Punjabi Bhartha and Harybhary Tinday for vegetarians. Meat
lovers will be in seventh heaven when they try the barbecued Peshawari
mutton, boneless (Boti) Bhawali and Lahori meat selections on skewers
and grilled lamb kebabs. |
