First Look of Twenty-20 Food Carnival at Riwaz.!
A name which has always been synonymous, atleast to me, with one of the finest Mughlai cuisine stalwart, is definitely Riwaz. Decking up a fine dining area, just across the crossing at Chinar Park, with some huge heavyweight contenders to eclipse it's presence, the loyal patrons here has always had a separate fan base. The ambiance and the interior is classy, and makes you feel a royal treatment being ushered on you, yet retaining the humbleness of a family establishment, with an ardent meticulous service and food laid down infront of you, retaining the highest quality of personal touch.
The place is divided into two portions, with both the lower and upper floors catering to an elite dining section. The upper floor has a provision for a banquet as well, which can hold your private parties, kitty parties, birthdays and other gatherings. Riwaz is currently celebrating a Twenty-20 Carnival, highlighting the best curated dishes of the Northern part of India and Western part of India. Besides some selective Indian fare, the food festival also highlights some Oriental and Asian delectables, to create tunes of flavors in your tastebuds, along with a special curation of some of the finest mocktails available here.
We started off with Roti pe Chicken patties and Roti pe Mutton patties, two round shaped circular balls, made out of minced Chicken Keema and minced Mutton Keema respectively, blended with Garam Masala and special spices to create a Kebab with a texture similar to Shami Kebab. The round patty was baked to perfection, with a light crust developing on edges. This was served with mini sized lachcha paratha, to compliment the spices used in the kebabs. With a melt-in-the-mouth texture, the kebabs remembered us of its finest counterparts churned out in the bylanes of Old Delhi.
Some of the other starters, like Mushroom Galawti and Palak Galawti, minced kebabs made with innumerable spices blended to an articulated ratio, and mixed with mushroom and spinach, to render a vegetarian version of the popular Mutton Galawti kebabs, both these kebabs were served on mini lachcha parathas, with a slice of onion ring on the top and complemented by a dash of fresh corriander chutney. The whole tandoori rotisserie had a full sized chicken marinated in tikka spices and baked in a tandoor to perfection.
Served with a boiled egg, this can be easily devoured by 3-4 heads, with a dip of the delectable corriander chutney. Talwar e Murgh probably drew it's origin from Western India, signifying the brave Sikh warriors. This dish had chicken, with a predominance of mustard paste along with other curated spices, being held up by a sharp sword. Artistically aesthetic, apart from it's gastronomic flavour profiles, this was one of the finest starters on the table. Malaysian Chicken satay had that rustic Asian spices layered on the grilled chicken portions, put together onto a skewer.
Aloo ka andar kuch to hai can be interpreted by a common name, Bharwan aloo. The potato was cut into half, and had the filling of cottage cheese, and brushed with some mustard to be baked to absolute goodness. The Teriyaki Chicken had soft Chicken portions tossed with sweet and sour teriyaki sauce with a sprinkle of sesame seeds in the top for garnishing. The main course involved serving of fine creamy Murgh Bharta, another rustic preparation of chicken with fenugreek leaves, a quintessential Murgh Champ along with a delightful serving of Murgh Biryani.
The festival has already commenced from December 24th, 2019 and will run till the 26th of January, 2020. The dishes are priced economically, starting from Rs. 99/- onwards. With a menu so diversified, drop in quick to savour some of the mouthwatering dishes up for tasting.

Read moreArsalan and Aminia is just footsteps away from this place. If they promise to serve good Mughal food then they must excel it.
First impression is their ambiance and it's excellent. You get that legacy mughal interiors done and they've a really big space inside.
But I've noticed this place empty most of the time, where Arsalan, Aminia, Shimla, Kareems stays crowded almost all the time. So there might be some reason, lets find out.
Special Mutton Biryani @ Rs.395 (3/5) Long grain rice, very light, non oily, light in color served with llittle barista on top. No such good smell of ghee found but quantity of rice was noticeably very low than any other competitors. Potato was super soft.
Mutton pieces were excellent, it was fresh, well cooked to soft and had no smell unlike Shimla Biryani that is located nearby. Piece was of mediam size, not too big nor too small.
Mutton Chaap @ Rs.290 (3/5) Chaap gravy was not that impressive, felt bit tangy to taste. But mutton pieces were excellent. Although it could have been cooked a little more, but portion of meat per piece was good unlike other places where they only give bones. But here also the portion size was very very less.
Conclusion Some people have said this place is affordable, I really want to invest in their company. From Chinese to North Indian every other main course costs Rs.500-600 per plate, simple chicken startes cost Rs.400-600 for 4-6 pieces. This place is crazy expensive, way more than any other popular restaurants nearby. Biryani and Chaap was the least expensive items we found on their menu.
If you're not getting a table at Arsalan and Aminia on a special day then you can give them a try. Food quality is somehow okay, but the price they charge for the quantity they serve isn't...
