Dimly lit, with a soothing ambience, Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor is a remarkable eatery. Tasty food, brilliant service, I got the chance to dine in with them, after I received an invite for a tasting session by Karma DXB. Anil, and the entire team of Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor were courteous, friendly and always on their feet to serve us.
For drinks, we were served a mojito, which was made of mango, passionfruit and mint. This drink was served chilled, quite refreshing and mellow.
Crunchy papad and fried snacks served with fruit chutney, tomato & onion chutney, green chutney, onions with vinegar and pickle. The fruit chutney was fairly sweet and very delicious.
The presentation of pani puri was excellent, and taste wise it was mind blowing. Crispy spheres of puri, with a filling, were yummy, and the green pani was impeccable. It offered a blend of tangy and mildly spicy flavours to the taste buds. Definitely a must try!
Coming to the starters, we were served the hummus ki gilawat, chenne kai parchey, methi chicken and lamb chops. The hummus ki gilawat was a tender tikki made of chick peas. Crispy on the outside, this was tasty and flavourful. Chenne kai parchey were huge chunks of paneer which were made like a paneer sandwich. The paneer was soft, delectable, and the flavours were commendable. The methi chicken was fabulous! It was succulent, and the flavours of methi were just right and it was flavoursome. The lamb chop was well – made, yummy and full of flavours. My favourites were the chenne kai parchey and methi chicken. Undoubtedly a must try.
For the main course, we were served the paneer pudina khass, soya methi bharta, baingan ka bharta, lalla mussa dal, butter chicken, nihari, chicken biryani and mix of different breads.
Paneer pudina khass – the orange gravy featured just the right consistency. The pieces of paneer had a filling of pudina paste in the middle, which was quite unique, with a lovely flavour of mint. This dish was mildly spicy and flavourful.
Soya methi bharta – something different, this dish featured appetizing flavours of methi.
Butter chicken – the gravy was thick in consistency, and the boneless chunks of chicken were soft and well – cooked. It had mild flavours and was tasty.
Nihari – absolutely delicious! The gravy was thin in consistency, and the meat was tender. This dish was flavourful.
Chicken biryani – long grain rice were tossed with soft and well – cooked pieces of chicken. This dish was palatable to the palate.
Baingan ka bharta – perfectly made with sufficient spices, this was tasty and mildly spicy.
Lalla mussa dal – this dal makhani was buttery and toothsome. Flavoursome and mildly spicy, we loved this dish.
Mix breads – served warm, these were freshly prepared and soft.
In desserts, we were served a platter which featured the charcoal rasmalai, topped with a rabdi balloon and baked mango yogurt. The charcoal rasmalai was different and interesting, fairly sweet and delicious. The baked mango yogurt was creamy, rich and offered our palates a slightly tangy flavour of mango.
We were served some palate cleansers too. The first round was right after we had the pani puri, and the second round was after the starters. The former was sweet, and the latter was lemon flavoured, hence was zesty.
Thank you Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor team for hosting us. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.
