Royal treatment
by abi_maha about Sahib Sindh Sultan
Great place for people from outside India, they have built a theme restaurant based on the luxury trains of India. Awesome food, great ambience, easy accessibility!If you want to eat like a king or be treated like a queen, then the right place for a unique dining experience is one of Bangalore’s finest North Indian restaurants - Sahib Sindh Sultan.
The restaurant is a tribute to a bygone era and everything from the interiors to the culinary experience is reminiscent of a mix of the traditions of Indian royalty and the British Raj.
The restaurant will transport you to the year 1853, when the first Indian train made its run from Bori Bunder to Thane. Much care has been taken to recreate the feeling, with the tastefully done décor, silk tapestry, and exquisite silver ware.
From one end of the wall to the other, there is a Pullman-style carriageway which makes you feel like you’re dining inside an actual train.
The food too reflects this rich past and is an interesting mélange of the cuisines of several states, including Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab. It also serves a great variety of Anglo-Indian dishes.
Wash down your meal with a fairly exhaustive wine list or opt for favourite cocktails such as margaritas, mojito or the caiprioska.
The desserts are as exotic as the rest of the meal. Tuck into a litchi ki tehri or a flambéed gulab jamun or a pineapple halwa, and end your experience on a sweet note. The chaats and the dals :)
