Double Tree Suites by Hilton Hotel has been receiving lot of request for north Indian food so they chose this festival season to display a spread of North Indian food for 10 days under their head chef who hails from North India. I have been a regular visitor at Hilton Hotel at Embassy Golf Links but this was my first visit at Double Tree Suites by Hilton Hotel located on Sarjapur main road. Asia Alive is on the ground floor, next to the reception.
Asia Alive is an asian restaurant has seating area for casual conversations with coffee, main dining area and also private dining area. They have majorly targeted food from
Kashmir, Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan.
As welcome drink, we enjoyed
Badam Milk thandai which would ideally fill your stomach so please just have few sips and move to the food ;) The starters came which had
Achari Paneer Tikka, the paneer was really soft.
Matarwali Tikki, it was soft and moist and can be enjoyed best with mint chutney. For non veg, we were served
Mutton sheekh kebab and
Amritsari machhi which were tasty but could have been more on spice. All these starters tasted best with Papaya relish which was so tasty that we ended up eating the relish alone most of the time.
From the Chaat's counter, I had to have
Pani Puri as it's my favorite, I also tried
Papdi Chaat and the famous
Raj Kachori. From the
Chole Bhature counter, I had to have a bhatura which in Bangalore you may not get, as they serve you puri ;) The Chole Bhature and Raj Kachori was just like the one I have had in Delhi so i was very happy with it.
I moved to the buffet spread and enjoyed some
Salad's which were tempting enough. They also had a variety of
Raita on offer which one can customise it to their taste.
As the food had already filled our stomach, I gave a miss to most of the buffet spread, now who can try this entire spread at one go? 2
soups were available along with a spread of
vegetarian and
non vegetarian curries which can be enjoyed with variety of
naan's,
paratha's or
rice. You can try some of the paratha's which are from parathe wali gali in Dilli :) I tried the dishes which were of my interest like the Mutton rogan josh along with naan and some chicken biryani. They also have displayed a variety of papad's which you enjoy with your mail course.
Moving to desserts, apart from feshly cut fruits which had Kiwi, my favorite, and a range of indian sweets like peda, laddu, barfi, malpua, halwa, freshly made jalebi's and also a live counter for falooda.
Photo's have been shot from
Le2 phone. The entire buffet spread can be enjoyed from
12th to 21st October 2016, for lunch and dinner, at Rs.1099+taxes and charges. They keep changing their menu so you might enjoy something different from what I have relished.
With late monsoons in Bangalore, if you get to eat some hot food of your choice then it is always a treat. At Asia Alive, Doubletree Suites by Hilton, you can create your own sizzler with your choice of meat/veggies along with sides and sauces. Not many places let you do it which is why this festival impressed me at the first sight.
Asia Alive, Doubletree Suites by Hilton welcomes you with a cookie to warm you for the evening and you sip your favorite Beer (mocktail in my case) you can choose your meal for the night.
You have various options to choose from, a variety of meat, chicken, seafood and veg are available. I love good promfret and if it is fresh then I do not leave an opportunity to try it. I tried Tandoori Promfret with butter garlic mash and fruit chaat with mint chutney and it was the best sizzler I have ever tried. I couldn't stop at one.
The next was Norwegian Salmon with Orange Beurre Blanc with grilled vegetables and veg hakka noodles. The entire sizzler blended well and tasted delicious.
You can also try New Zealand Lamb chops which goes well with red wine jus sauce. Below are the other various sizzler options which you can create or choose from
Do not forget to try their dessert. Chef's special dessert was served to us which had rich chocolate cake with burnt meringue. Dessert was surely needed to complete the meal.
