Hyderabad Restaurant Features Rare North Indian Cuisine
A new restaurant named Kasoori has opened in the Whitefields area of Kondapur, Hyderabad. The eatery is focusing on serving North Indian dishes that are less commonly available in the city. The menu aims to provide local residents with new regional specialties.
- The restaurant is situated on the 6th floor of the Glacier Building in Kondapur, offering a rooftop dining experience with a capacity for over 200 guests. - Kasoori's menu deliberately avoids common North Indian dishes, instead focusing on regional specialties from Eastern India, particularly Bihar, Bengal, and Jharkhand. - Specific and rarely available dishes include home-style plates like Sattu Puri with baingan chokha (a staple from Bihar), Luchi Aloo Dum (a Bengali classic), and Dhuska with Chane Ki Sabji from Jharkhand. - The chaat section features authentic street-food flavors from various cities, such as Ghugni Tikki Chaat and Banarasi Tamatar Chaat. - Signature main courses include Champaran Mutton, which is slow-cooked in its own juices for a rich, earthy flavor, and McLeodganj Mutton Curry, offering hill-style flavors. - The restaurant's name is likely a reference to "Kasoori Methi," or dried fenugreek leaves, a key aromatic ingredient in many North Indian dishes, named after the Kasur region of Punjab known for producing a high-quality variety. - The establishment operates on an à la carte basis only, with no buffet offerings, and the approximate cost for a meal for two is between ₹1600 and ₹2000.
