Baluchi at InterContinental The Lalit, derives its name from the Baluchistan region of Afghanistan, famous for its succulent and flavourful kebabs. No points for guessing that this cosy, off-the-lobby restaurant does offer fantastic kebabs and curries from the North-Western region (Pakistan, Afghanistan and from India: Lucknow, Punjab, Kashmir and Rajasthan). Live santoor and tabla tunes fill up the air of this restaurant; talented musicians also take requests. Chef Shoky's glass-fronted kitchen offers a full view of the tandoors and the charcoal grill from where you can order, if you wish, customized specials that aren't even on the menu. Taste the culinary magic in creamy and buttery Baluchi Dal, flavourful Burrah Baluchi, succulent Dudhiya Kebab, delicious Aatishe Tandoori Aloo, Gucchi Mutter Paneer ki Bahar and the awesome aromatic spices of Tawa Zor Masala, Pasliyon ka Salan and Dum Nalli Gosht. Rich and sweet Badam Halwa, Gajar ka Halwa and Angoori Rabadi make a perfect ending to the dining experience that salutes the North-West Frontier's flavourful fare.
