We started. With the berry flavors moctails that was beautifully decorated and had amazing flavors from the bartenders skill 🍹🍹

Starting with

Mahi AL shahreen🐟 Fish marinated in mint chutney with pure mustard oil pan fried or seared on the pan

Akbari murgh tikka🍡 This tender soft leg boneless kebabs were the most flavorful treat from the tandoori the guy on the Owen truly knows what is the best

Mutton galauti kebeb Shahi 👑

This one goes with the tounge without and break one of the finest innovation from the awadhi khansaamas is the famous galauti kebab made with care and love.

Jhinga e Nisha🦐 Prawns tandoori This prawns was roasted perfectly on the tandoor and the best part was that the masala was marinated so well that even in the deepest cuts it was absorbed well

Husseini seek🥖 Mutton seek kebab

Finely chopped lamb along with cheese onions green chillies with garam masala and sprinkled with chat masala A must try from nawab sahab

Now we reach to the mains..

Makhmali kadhai jhinga 🍝 This gravy has everything that is needed in perfect gravy or salan apart from mustard and coconut milk you can also find raw grated chillies and it has a Tadka too.

Mahi dum qaliyan Fish gravy 🍛

Very nicely done with mint and saag flavored gravy it was super smooth and the fish pieces were as tender as cotton now this too had a Tadka on the top.

Lagan hara murgh 🐓 This one is the savior it's has some special ingredients that makes this dish digestive and you will not feel loaded as explained by the chef.

Coming across the biryani we were too full now but the hospitality of the staff was so pleasant that we couldn't resist to have the special lucknowi biryani from the chef. And like all other dishes it was also super dish and we can smell the flavors as early as it arrived on the table.

The desserts were presented in such a lovely way with the candle and the sweets platter it was so awesome.🎉

Our journey with the nawab sahab was a great experience and the captain himself presented some pan (Indian traditional mouth freshener) with the mehmani and mezbani smile.♥️

This place is recommended for real Indian flavors and if you are a kebab guy just go for it.....🎖️

Chef younus khan ka Paneer, malai Paneer with simple ingredients had made this dish a royal affair for the guests of...

Nawab Sahab - Westin Powai Amazing place , richness all over , menu curated by master Chef Yunus Khan a fusion of awadh , frontier India and Rajasthan This place is known for it's Kebabs and mouth watering aromatic curries

Here is what we had :

Veg and non veg platter - makai motiya seekh minced corn charred with Indian spices normally served on skewers. Since it was a platter it was a single piece YONUS KHAN KA PANEER TIKKA - signature dish. Middle had a filling of dry fruits and nuts. Indian spices tandoor well with spices balanced Subz gauloti - melt in mouth minced veggies with herbs and spices served over a bread. So Lucknow ( must try ) MALAI KA PHOOL - richness all over . Cheese and cream marinated broccoli charred. Perfect

Non veg platter - Mahira babuli kebab famous dish of amritsar on bones. Melt in mouth tangy spicy marinating. Must try GALAWAT KE KEBAB - do try this , served on a small paratha. Minced lamb with spices .balanced was prefect. Normally served on a griddle. Since it was a platter just had one piece which was enough to know the culinary talent of the master chef.

Samunder ki apsara - wow this was something new . Small lobster tandoor to perfection. Special spices used by the chef. I will remember this . Never had it as a starter

Coming to mains : VEG - do try the Aminamadi Saag , a spinach preparation with garlic and cumin. Freshly made full of flavours. Chef has kept it simple . Let the dish do the talking

Paneer Lazeez e khaas again a signature by chef. Chunks of cottage cheese with rich tomato gravy . Subtle in spices and aromatic at the same time. However the 48 hour Long process Dal e yunus is worth a wait , rich urad lentil. Goes well with biryani or breads.

Non veg - ghost nihari tho banta hai boss . Bone marrow stock , lamb slowly cooked gives that aromatic taste and flavour. Do try the murg handi lazeez - braised chicken with base of onion gravy along with methi ( fenugreek ) and cream. Chicken was cooked well tender and juicy

Must say that food , kebab or the gravy are not heavy or oily. Just perfect. Missed out the prawns kasundi , lovely hit of kasundi cooked well. Velvety tomato and anar gravy. Do try.

Small portion of Subz Chilman biryani , long grain basmati rice with saffron a bit of Ittar ghee and veggies

Breads - Taftaan / Khameeri / Naan However the dessert had a pleasant surprise Had a capsicum halwa FOR the first time. Something different which one needs to try out

Overall experience = awesome Felt like a Nawab Dining at this place paired with a sparkling wine

Big thanks to Saurabh Dixit and team Westin for hosting

Ps. Only drawback , could not meet the master chef as had a day Off Next time for sure Till we meet...

Renaissance Hotel Powai is nothing short of royal and beautiful. Simply amazing hospitality and such pretty restaurants. This Infact, was my reason to visit Nawab Saheb for their ongoing Tawa & Tandoor Festival (20th- 28th September) as there are very few restaurants who actually go out of their way to curate special menus like these. Brainchild of Chef Yunus Khan, I think everything on the menu was fantastic. Service was slow as the restaurant was quite packed, being a Friday night. I opted for the vegetarian fare priced at 2800. Frankly, I thought it was value for money only because of the main course. Just their dal makhani and paneer will leave you licking your fingers till the end. Here's what the spread consisted of and how I felt about it : Vegetarian : Til Malai ka Phool (5/5)- Melt in the mouth brocolli with cream cheese. Found the cauliflower okayish. Chef Yunus Khan ka Paneer Tikka (10/5)- Star dish! Has to be the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommended. Subz ki Ashraphiya (3/5)- Found it average. Bhune Bhutte ke Seekh (5/5)- AMAZING combination of seekh Kebab and babycorn. YUM. Kabuki Kebab (3/5)- Found it too dry. Taste wise as well, bland due to Chickpeas. Chukunder ke Kebab (4/5)- Beetroot galauti, it was nice. Kumbh ke Galawat (5/5)- Wow. Has to be the one thing I'd come back for! Surprisingly it was served on a thepla kind of bread. Aloo Atishi (4/5)- Bharwan aloo, classic.

Mains : Paneer Kaliyan (10/5)- Now that's what I'm talking about. It's dishes like these that make you remember these hotels. No one does mains like them. I ALWAYS skip mains but yesterday I was too tempted after a bite and ended up having 3 pieces of bread after such heavy array of starters. MY FAVOURITE FROM YESTERDAY because it was cashew gravy, so creamy, soft paneer chunks and rightly spiced. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Daal Nawab (10/5)- Probably as good as the one I've had in Delhi at ITC. Properly slow cooked for 48 hours, perfectly creamy and texture was just right. Not overdone. Yum. Subz Biryani - couldn't dare to try it. Was too full.

Desserts : Assorted variety Motichoor Laddoo, Kaju Katli, Kalakand, Gulab Jamun, Akhroti Halwa, Phirni - all were great but my favourites were the Phirni and Gulab Jamun.

Great staff and great hospitality by team. Special thanks to Manager Avanish, steward Shrikant and Chef...
