Kebab Korner in Mumbai India

With a view of the Queen’s Necklace, Kebab Korner at InterContinental Marine Drive has an advantage over most Mumbai restaurants. The view of the sea lends tranquility unlike anywhere else and yet the restaurant manages to create a buzz of its own. It accommodates up to 80 at a time with its large tables meant for groups of four and more, making it an apt dining option for corporates in the day and families in the night.

Kebab Korner has won accolades for being the Best Indian Restaurant in Mumbai for two consecutive years. So, it comes as a surprise that a place which is synonymous with a luxurious layer of butter on the dal makhni and the mouth-watering biryani has introduced the Kebabbq Wellness Combo Meal for lunch. “Corporates who come for lunch are relieved to hear of the wellness meal,” says Executive Chef Amit Bharadwaj.

There are four variations of the combo meals. The soup, salad and wrap (prepared in wholewheat) is very popular, but beating it to top position is the soup, salad and grill option. Vegetarian and nonvegetarian grill options are plenty of which must-try options are the pudina paneer tikka, Afghani murgh tikka and pompret tikka. The carb ’n fibre lunch includes a salad, a biryani and a bowl of raita—made with cuminseasoned probiotic yogurt. The other variation is the ‘Keep it Low’ lunch, which includes a side portion of organic roquette and grilled broccoli salad and a low GI rice biryani.

Regardless of how full one is, the dal makhni remains a highlight here. And as regulars already know, every meal is complimented by the best view in the city.
