Read moreI always love visiting desi restaurants as they represent the true essence of Pakistani Culture by their food. This time I visited another Pakistani restaurant, DES PARDES.
Des means country and Pardes means foreign country. It is a popular phrase in the subcontinent comparing the local and foreign things.
The concept of Des Pardes Restaurant is to serve the best quality local authentic Pakistani food in a foreign country and they have excelled it in the best possible way. I was served some lipsmacking food and it literally made me miss Pakistan so much.
The best part is that they are open 24 hours.
Here's what I had for the Main Course:
🔸️Chicken Biryani
🔸️Mutton Karhai
🔸️Chicken Handi
🔸️Mix Grill
🔸️Tarka Daal
🔸️Mix Sabzi
🔸️Roghni Naan, Tandoori Roti
🔸️Tandoori Naan
Desserts and Drinks I had :
🔸️Gajar Ka Halwa
🔸️Rabree in a Claypot
🔸️Gulab Jamun
🔸️Meethi Lassi
Every dish had great taste and I can pick one specific dish to praise. The Main Course had perfect spices. The Biryani had a amazing flavours while the Handi and Karhai were perfectly spiced. The Daal and Sabzi reminded me of how my grandmother used to cook it in Pakistan.
The Grills were juicy and very tasty. The variety of grills were chicken seeking kebab, mutton seekh kebab, malai boti, tikka boti, fish tikka and Bihari boti. Though everything was good, the fish tikka was fantastic.
The Naans and breads were super soft and tasty. I loved their Roghni naans. THESE ARE A MUST TRY. They are very similar to the taste of Sheermal. Loved it so much.
The desserts had a perfect traditional taste. The Rabree had the same taste that I used to have in Karachi. The Gulab Jamuns were soft and delicious. The Gajar ka halwa had khoya (mawa) and chopped nuts, just the way any desi would love to eat. Not to forget the meethi Lassi topped with nuts.
ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO HAVE AUTHENTIC DESI FOOD.
