Baluchi - A Pan Indian Destination

Exquisite tastes at Zaika-e-Awadh
Zaika-e-Awadh food festival is a specially curated menu under the aegis of Chef Mohd. Rais Alam and Chef Parimal Sawant. True to the name this menu befits the food eaten by Nawabs. I got a chance to savor the dinner spread at Baluchi.
Fresh rose shot made with rose petals and with a little tanginess of lemon.
Starters:
1) Gosht Zafrani seekh kebabs - traditional minced meat with saffron flavor. The taste was marvelous.
2 )Murgh Parachay - boneless chicken breast pieces marinated in cream, cheese and cardamom. roasted on tawa. Finger licking stuff. The texture was a major drawing factor to this dish.
3) Mawa aur mawey ki seekh - dry fruit minced and mawa roasted on clay oven. The fragrance was totally spell binding.
4) Subz ki galawat -Traditional galawat with tender tawa fried vegetables.
Main course.
1) Bhuney pyaaz aur mirch ka Murgh - Semi-thick chicken curry made of rich onion and tomato gravy. I fell in love with the curry in this dish.
2) Shahi Nihari -Traditional nihari in royal mild spices and flavors. The nihari was handled really well by the Chef, it turned out to be a delight.
3) Begum Hazrat Mahal Subz Korma - Seasonal vegetables cooked in tomato gravy, finished with mawa & cream.
4) Talley aloo ka Qorma - Potatoes fried over extremely low heat and simmered in the saffron-tinged gravy
5) Dal baluchi - signature preparation of Baluchi of black lentils on a charcoal fire, finished with cream. A vegetarian dish worthy of giving competition to the non-vegetarian menu.
6) Safed Chawal - Basmati steamed rice.
7) Rotiyon ki tokri - assorted rotis.
8) Taftaan - A traditional Middle Eastern bread. It can be had with any gravy dish. The taste is lovely and the fragrance is laden with the essence of cinnamon.
Sweets.
1) Gulkand ki phirnee- traditional Nawabi phirnee with a gulkand twist. Served in a kullhad, one cannot go wrong with this dessert. It simply rubs its magic on you and is the perfect end to a long meal.
2) Shahi tukra- Perfect soak bread.
The atmosphere was accentuated with the renditions of classic Ghazals sung live by a duo performing live in the center of the restaurant. The interiors of the place are laced with paintings and artifacts depicting the Awadhi culture.
The service was top of the class and all orders and dishes were handled carefully. Indeed, a place which gives the royal treatment to their customers.
I highly recommend this place for its taste and variety of dishes.

One-line headline – Drooling Goan Cuisine Comes Alive with Susegado Mumbai food festival at The Lalit.

Xacutti. Recheado. Xeque xeque. Ambot tik. Feijoada. Sorpotel. Never before would you have been so semantically food stumped. Amidst the whiff of coconut, the hiss of an oven and the sizzle in a wok, The Lalit Hotels prime restaurant Baluchi is faltering with inflexion and diphthong of typical Goan dishes. It’s time to feast with the array of the Goa’s culturally rich cuisine carefully curated by Executive Chef Tanmoy Majumdar (and his team). Believe me the visit will surely be etched out as a fond memory for a lifetime.
Minute detailing has been kept in mind. The ambiance has been revamped to get the Goan beach feel. Vintage wine bottles adorn the stacks to enhance the Goan backdrops. Famous Goan melodies play in the backdrop.
You are welcomed and garlanded with a beautiful creative sea-shell neckpiece (unlike a floral garland). And yes, this is a keep-sake memory from the stables the Lalit Hotels group for you. Such subtle gestures speak volumes of the Limitless Hospitality of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group.
Kudos to Mr. Keshav Suri, Executive Director - The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, to come up with this enticing brainwave / Concept of Executive Chef Pop-up to cross-promote Executive Chefs and bring to life the various flavours of India in their hotel properties. The buzz is strong that the group has an amazing line-up of never-done before food festivals. The Susegado Mumbai food festival at The Lalit will be on from 21st to 30th July 2018. Make sure you experience the true unmatched and scintillating flavours.

The Baluchi at the LaLit is an excellent choice for North Indian food, right up the league with ITC's Dum Pukht.

We visited on a weekday and the place was empty. There was live old Bollywood music being played. The service was slow and I found it to be inferior to what you'd expect at a Fine Dine, but not bad by any standards.

Recommended Dishes:
Veg Seekh Kebab - Really well made and tasty.
Paan Biryani - It was alright. It was fragrant and flavourful but not as good as Dum Pukht.
Dal Baluchi - Definitely one of the best black daal you can have in Mumbai. Very rich.
Garlic Naan - Excellently made!

Average Dishes:
Dum Ka Paneer - It was alright. Not great. A typical paneer vegetable in thick gravy.

The overall damages for the above would typically be above Rs. 2500, however you can save some money using Zomato Gold. This place is surely worth a visit if you crave for authentic North Indian.

Had a good experience here . The starter was average , however it was claimed that it's a chef special . Kofta was tomato based but good enough.

The trimmings of your inn are the individuals who favor entering over and over.

Baluchi is a rich high end café of The Lalit Mumbai in Andheri East, Chakala and is extraordinary compared to other feasting objections for curries in the city. This upscale exquisite feasting space is ideal spot to bring somebody you are meaning to intrigue.

The kitchens of Baluchi are known to serve a Pan Indian menu that traversed the country, zeroing in incredibly on Awadhi flavors.

I like the way that each dish comes matched with a wine, in the event that you pay attention to your wines. Take a stab at wiping up the curries with a Baluchi naan or varqi parantha or missi roti. A pot of fragrant biryani won't go not right here. To carry your night to its legitimate end enjoy Baluchi's rich treat range. Finish, gulab jamun, zafrani angoori rabdi, anjeer badam ka halwa, taaze kate falon ka nazrana, kesari kulfi and paan ki kulfi. Calorie watchers can fold righteous into a sugar free rasmalai. The basic bar-entryway access to Baluchi streams into a roomy good old looking lounge area, decked up with wooden furniture shrouded in light red upholstery. The inconspicuous downplayed tastefulness of the insides quiets you and causes you to feel very comfortable. Baluchi is costly, save it for extraordinary events.

The Dal Baluchi is finger licking acceptable
The menu is Pan Indian yet with a stressed Awadhi flavor
On offer are additionally some intriguing South Indian arrangements, for example, the stew and kottu curry

Very poor service. Wine glasses were wet. Spilled wine while serving. Nothing up to the standard. Lot of noise. Will have to think twice before visiting again.

This is by far the worst experience you can have in a 5star. As soon as you enter, the place is smelling of moist furniture! Once your nose gets used to that, you are facing the most untrained staff you can ever find in a restaurant. One of our friends was Jain and asked for suggestions and the waiter said yes to everything for Jain. When we realized he doesn't know anything, we called the chef who told us otherwise! After ordering, most of the starters were ice cold. The plates and glasses were stained as well. Please do not go here! its is disaster !
