ITC Fortune Excalibur- India on my plate

This hotel is the star of Sohna road, Gurgaon. This is my second visit to Fortune Hotel and I must say that these guys are really serious about the food they serve and keep innovating. Last time their concept “Dilli Ki Galliyan” was a huge success in which they had prepared the delicacies of Purani Delhi.

This time the whole India was on my plate. The concept is to to bring the best from all the corners of the country with pocket friendly price. That’s not all; they also have live music with the best ambiance.

Now let’s talk about the food.

This is the first time I was served with Neer More which seemed like rasam but with more spices. The tangy taste was a bang on for taste buds. Galouti Kababs are soft and tender that almost melt in the mouth with the first bite. With a balanced mix of spices, the taste is very authentic and don't miss the Ram laddu

Rajma Galouti and Tilwali subz seekh is a unique innovation for the vegetarians. I am sure now vegetarians will not complain anymore for veg starters. Murgh malai siya mirch equally tasted great.

In main course I chose Chicken Chettinad, Ghost Awadh Biryani, Mutton Curry, Dal-e-Fortne and Dahi Aloo Acahri. Most of the times I skip the main course because restaurants give preference to starters and score low in main course. However, this is not the scenario here. The main course was damn great!

In sweets they have plenty of options to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth. Their rasmalai was heavenly and I bet no one can eat just one.

I believe the USP of this place is live music and ambiance. Below are my ratings

Dilli Ki Galliyan-Zodiac @Fortune Hitel (ITC Property)

I was invited for this blogger event to experience the taste of Purani Delhi. As we speak about Old Delhi, the place that comes to our mind is Chandani Chowk which is considered the hub of authentic food. This was my first time in Zodiac and must say that the ambience is very nice with zodiac signs on the walls.

As we are all aware that ITC hotels are known for its quality food, in continuation of this legacy they have brought the taste of Purani Delhi right here in Gurgaon. Bringing the authentic taste to the place was made possible by Chef Inder Dev who has done an intensive research of the food items before putting it on the menu. We started with lassi along with kalmi bada, bean mathri and pyaaz bhujia which were nicely cooked.

More snacks were served such as bhalla papri, chhole bhature and gol gappay. Among these my favourite was bhalla papri which had a tangy taste. 

We started the main course with non-veg food like Goli kabab and dora kabab. Both of them tasted out of this world! I had also tasted biryani with chicken korma and chengezi chicken. I am a die hard non-vegetarian so could not experience much of the veg course. However  as per others bloggers, veg items were equally awesome.  Out of the entire main course I liked Matka Ghost, Goli Kabab, Dora Kabab and Biryani. All the dishes were cooked in the same way as you will find in Purani Delhi and the best part is after a long time I have tasted authentic Biryani. 

After eating all the mouth-watering dishes there was very less scope of sweets. Yet, I believe every Indian will agree with me that we all have a secret space in our stomach which opens up when we see desert.  We were served with Rabri Jalebi, Rasgulla and Phirni. The Jalebi was good and tasted great when mixed with Rabri. The Rasgulla was also good and the Phirni was excellent with less sweet content.

Overall below are my ratings.
