Looking at fellow diners, it became evident that while sizzlers are a popular option, it is the Chelo Kebab that reigns as the star dish of the restaurant. Taste Atlas too mentioned it as the must-try dish in the restaurant.
Let’s Learn More About Chelo Kebab…
The Chelo Kebab is a potpourri of flavours, a culinary creation that has rightly earned its place in the hearts of the patrons. Picture a bed of buttered rice, its grains perfectly cooked and fragrant, topped with lightly grilled tomatoes and a medley of vegetables. Served along with seekh kebabs and chicken kebabs on the side, the succulence of the kebabs and the charred aroma of the vegetables was enough to entice us.
Curiosity led us to engage with other visitors to the restaurant. We asked one of them what is so special about Chelo Kebab. She surprised us by revealing that she has been trying to figure that out for the last 25 years. Despite countless visits, the secret behind its popularity still remains a mystery!
