The water ripples amidst lush greenery…in the distance a majestic 'centuries' old church stands majestic and illuminated in the darkness. Live entertainment to stir your senses and chef's busy on the grill stirring up the hunger pangs as they go about their business. This is the Barbeque and Grill at the Fortune Select Regina. Just like the name a khazana of grills and seafood specialties await you by the poolside. From a simple grilled seafood platter, the chef's spice up the preparations to encompass the Peri Peri Masala as well as the kebabs 'a la Indian' like the Kakori Kebab, Motia Kebab or the Chicken Tikka Kali Mirch. A taste of the 'Bukhara' flavour is to be savoured. But there is a 'first of its kind' at this place too. Every Monday, the restaurant welcomes you to a seafood bazaar by the poolside where fisher women sit with their fresh catch in their baskets. Shop along to your heart's content and get it prepared the way you like it. As your meal is sizzling on the grill, watch the local dancers work their magic with their intricate steps and their song. The catchy music will definitely entice you to take the prepared seafood and feast to your heart's desire. It is a 'fortune' of sorts with food, music and entertainment…perhaps one might call it a khazana.... perhaps for the 'fortunate' few who happen to be there.The water ripples amidst lush greenery…in the distance a majestic 'centuries' old church stands majestic and illuminated in the darkness.
