Just by looking at the name of the restaurant, it becomes evident that chutneys are a speciality here and this is perhaps what has made Chutney, Bar+ Tandoor an eatery distinctive from others.

Krishna Mohan Sharma, Executive Sous Chef of the Metropolitan Hotel & Spa, an upscale hotel in New Delhi, tells Media India Group that actually the speciality of the restaurant are the various kebabs that have long been served here. In order to indulge the diners and make dinner a more appetising and wholesome experience, the restaurant has added a wide collection of chutneys to go with the kebabs. Of course, the tamarind chutney has always been a favourite with the diners, but the recent addition of Kiwi also does not fall far behind, he adds.

The fare at the restaurant is highly appetising and comes with an amazing variety, with starters such as Karele Ki Shammi (Bitter gourd patties), Gazab ka Tikka, which is a bite-sized chicken prepared in a unique cheesy marinade and the main course dishes like Goan fish curry which is King Mackerel or King fish cooked with Gravy in Goan Masala. The Tom Yum soup with an Indian twist is also sure to delight the restaurant’s guests.

But perhaps the dish that is sure to pique one’s interest is the creamy, shallow fried patty made of minced goat and green papaya- the Galauti Kebab. Swapnadeep Mukherjee, head chef of Metropolitan Hotel & Spa, New Delhi unveils the recipe of the restaurant’s much sought out dish to Media India Group.
