Kebab Korner — Restaurant in Mumbai

InterContinental - the iconic Hotel located at Marine Drive is home to Kebab Korner. Kebab Korner is an ultra luxurious fine dine place with breathtaking bayview and serves authentic Indian cuisine along with some fusion dishes / desserts as well. Kebab Korner is located on Level 1 alongside Long & Short, which is a lounge which serves European cuisine.

Kebab Korner has recently introduced Thalis - which is a lavish 3 course Indian meal including appetizers, main course and desserts. They offer Express Lunch Thali which caters to corporate as well and is priced at INR 1800 excluding wine. For dinner they offer "Experience Thali" which is an easy going complete meal, where you can take your time and enjoy scrumptious meal. This is priced at INR 2400.

Heading straight to what was on offer for Experience Thali - Veg

To begin with we were presented with a palate cleanser - Amuse Bouche. Crispy and Spiced Masala Chana Dal packed in edible plastic. I was intrigued about the ingredients used and technique to make this, but it stays as a secret with the restaurant and chef. Very unique and impressed I must say!

We started with Appetizers and were served three of them - Jaipuri Paneer Tikka, Bhune Subz Ki Shami and Sarson Brocolli Tandoori. Paneer Tikka was smoked cottage cheese marinated with olives. The olives gave it a bitter taste for me and I personally love the smokey effect given to cottage cheese. However in this process the cottage cheese might have become a little hard. Something, which can be looked into.

Next we had the Bhune Subz Ki Shami - Round shaped Patties / Tikkis with peas and spiced beans as filling, fried to perfection. Highly recommended to try! After this, we tried the Sarson Broccoli Tandoori - marinated with mustard and grilled to perfection! Loved it! Must try!

Before heading into the mains, we were served another palate cleanser - this time around it was Mango & Lemon Sorbet served in a cutting chai glass. Loved the combination and was very refreshing. Again very unique!

And now coming to the Star Veg Thali at Kebeb Korner - 5 Vegetables and 1 Dal with Assorted Indian Breads along with choice of steamed rice / Khichdi. The thali was presented in a beautiful way. They have a shiny steel arc where all the individual bowls are placed. So all of these 6 bowls along with a bowl of salad is placed in front of you at one go, unlike other thali places where different people serve you continuously which can be irritating at times.

The best part here at Kebab Korner is that you get a thali experience without any hassles. Coming to the 5 vegetables - Bhuna Gobi Masala, Paneer Butter Masala, Subz Miloni, Lehsooni Palak and Beawar Bhindi. Amongst the five my preference would be Beawar Bhindi, Bhuna Gobi Masala and Paneer Butter Masala. Crisp Bhindi (lady fingers) with perfect potli masalas and cherry tomato. Personally I am not a fan of Bhindi, but with the way it was made and tasted, loved it.

Bhuna Gobi Masala, chopped cauliflower tossed with Indian spices and Paneer Butter Masala -creamy cottage cheese in a rich onion and tomato gravy, both came a close second for me.

Dal in the thali was Kebab Korner Signature Dal Makhani. Creamy Black Lentils Dal to be enjoyed with Indian Assorted breads as well as with Steam rice. Tasted real nice. I also tried the Khichdi, could be a good light option after heavy meal.

Finally moving to the desserts, we had the Gulab Jamun and Gulkand Pannacotta - a fantastic fusion of Indian and Italian desserts! Sweet thickened cream topped with Gulkand and Gulkand! Loved the dessert, must try and highly recommended! And towards the end we were presented with a platter of paan - Meetha (Sweet) and Saada (Plain). Couldnt have asked for more!

Overall, if I need to define my experience at Kebab Korner in one word, it will be awestruck! Beautiful setting, lip smacking food, fantastic service, soothing music, one of the most memorable...

Check it...

Kebab Korner is a restaurant with beautiful blue and white interiors along with artistic chairs which gives it a very royal look. To top it all this place has an amazing view of Mumbai’s Queen’s Necklace. It looks stunning, especially during the Monsoon Season.

The Cuisine here is Indian and they specialize in Kebabs and North Indian Curries. I have tried a lot of Vegetarian dishes here, which is mentioned in detail below.

Truffled Mushroom Baby Kulcha

Small Soft Kulchas Stuffed with a Mushroom Paste. It comes straight out of the tandoor to your plate! It was very soft when I tried it and it had a very mild flavor from the Mushrooms. However, I couldn't taste truffle anywhere, I was expecting the use of some truffle oil at least.

Chili Cheese Baby Kulcha

Another version of Soft Kulchas Stuffed with Cheese and lots of Red Chili Powder, I could taste a lot of cheese and the spice from the Red Chili was also not overpowering. I would prefer this over the Mushroom kulcha even though I LOVE Mushrooms.

Jaituni Paneer Tikka

Giant Cubes of Paneer Marinated in Tandoori Marinate and it was sliced from between to stuff in some Olives. That gave it a tangy flavor and it was an amazing way of serving the Paneer Tikka. The only thing I didn't like is the quantity of Olives was very less and I could hardly taste any Olives.

Kumbh Dak Banglow

Button Mushrooms marinated in a Mustard Paste and cooked inside the tandoor until they become soft.

Daal Makhani

A bowl full of richness, it was exactly what you expect from a Daal Makhani. Melt in mouth Daal in tonne loads of Butter & Cream with superb flavors coming from spices like Clove, Cumin and Cardamom.

Lehsooni Palak

A very creamy concoction of Spinach and Fried Garlic, this was hands down the best dish which I had here. It is a must try if you love Spinach.

The service here was very quick and the staff had total knowledge about the Menu. Overall this place was amazing and I would definitely recommend it to someone who loves to have North...
