Service – It was Blogger’s table so everyone was on their toes and attentive. Later on when restaurant was crowed at 8.30 PM , I decided to take walk and understand service aspect and trust me Mr. Ravi and complete crew were engaged to make their dining experience great. I can see happiness around and guest enjoying food.
Food –
The welcome drink was Sharbat : A rose and milk base welcome drink. Hyderabadi are found of Rooh afza or any other rose base drink and rose sharbat as a welcome drink indicates starting of typical hyderbadi feast. carrying aroma of rose water and perfect balance of sweetness, Rose sharbat was perfect start of Hyderbadi Dawat.. ( I can’t expect better start than this for Hyderbadi Dawat… )
Our first Tawa starters was Veg Lukhmi and Mutton Lukhmi. Lukhmi is a typical mince starter of the cuisine of Hyderabad. I felt that it is local variation of samosa. Lukhmi is served on room temperature and Veg Lukhmi / Mutton Lukhmi has stuffing of Veggies /Mutton with balanced Indian spices and was perfect start.
We also tried Here Moti Ki Tikki, Rajma Tikki and Kabuli Chana Tikki. I liked Here Moti Ki Tikki as it was moist and flavorful. Rajma Tikki was little blend and not of my liking. On other side Kabuli Chana Tikki was decent and little more spices will definitely make is perfect dish.
In Non Veg Tawa starters sections Libas Machhi, Mutton Lukhmi , Shikampuri were options. I liked Libas Machhi – a perfect Indian masala and melt in mouth Machhi was delectable and definitely show stopper. No doubt a Mutton Lukhmi and Shikampuri were also bang on and my foodie friends liked them as well.
Taulia Naan, a huge Naan which was crispier and cooked with perfection in Tandoor was definitely show stopper. Hyderbadi people eat starters / BBQ with Naan and sahib barbeque shows that culture with perfection. I loved this concept and was really worth trying.
In Veg BBQ Section we tried Kandhari Paneer Tikka , Veg Kabab , Anans – E – Sahib ( cinnamon pineapple) and mushroom. Mushroom was okish and other starters were star in their league. , Anans – E – Sahib ( Cinnamon Pineapple ) was sweet and juicy and that cinnamon flavor takes it to next level. Grilled Cinnamon Pineapple is my all-time favorite BBQ. Many restaurant disappoint me with Veg Sheekh Kabab but sahib barbeque was bang on it. Kandhari Paneer Tikka – The paneer starters was very different then what I tried at many BBQ restaurant. I eat 4 pieces of Kandhari Paneer Tikka and failed to guess major ingredient (this rarely happen to me) . Kandhari Paneer Tikka was definitely Show Stopper in Veg BBQ section and hats off to the chef Sahansar pal for this master piece.
In Non Veg BBQ Section options were Murgh Akbari Kabab , Talwar – E – Kalmi , Gosht Gilafi Sheekh and Darbari Jhinga. These all BBQ has typical Hyderabadi touch and that was something which standout and was made with perfection. Talwar – E – Kalmi – Juicy chicken and perfect marinated Hyderbadi masala was my favorite in non veg BBQ.
Oh Yes.. When you indulge yourself in Tawa Stater and BBQ here comes the happiness…Unlimited Coca Cola which was definitely going well with starters and BBQ.
I was kind of full with starters and BBQ and tried few dishes in Main Course which was good. Zaffrani Subz shorba with Khamiri Naan was awesome combination.
Main Course covers variety from Panner ,Chicken and Mutton and was good spread . Panner Ka salan, Subz e Bahar , Dum Ka Murg , Haleem and Gosht Kundan Kaliyan , Hyderbadi Khati Dal few highlight of the dishes in Main Course. You may see Haleem on the Hyderbadi Dawat every day.
I am dessert lover and I was very impress with options. Double ka meetha and khubani ka meetha which are famous Hyderabadi dessert was really impressive. They both were not too sweet and perfect. Rasmalai was soft and delicious too. The show stopper was Jauzi Halwa – Jauzi Halwa is used to called Nizam’s favorites dessert. Made with wheat, khoya , saffron and ghee, served in smoked filled jar was divine.
The surprise package of chilly in “Guntur Chilli Ice Cream” was awesome and force me to have another scope of it. Another distinguish Ice Cream was Paan Ice Cream.
Awesome Hyderabadi and Awadhi food with great ambience and melodious live Sufi music makes Sahib’s Barbeque a perfect dinning place at cost of 699 only.
Pamper yourself with near to 25+ mouth fresherner to end your meal.
