Marrakesh, Kalyani Nagar Pune, India - Restaurant Review
Marrakesh is my recent favorite. For starters, I am a sucker for Middle Eastern Food and juicy meats. Marrakesh always gets these right. We start with Paya soup. I have been accused of choosing restaurants based on whether they serve Paya soup or not. But, here it is great. Pungent, you may say, with a liberal sprinkling of pepper. It opens you sinuses and gives you a peek into how flavorful the rest of your meal will be. I normally follow this with Hummus. Even though it is my favorite starter, I am known to dislike quite some Hummuses. This one is just right. Creamy, full of flavor, served with highly buttered pitas. I think they use home made butter, which adds its own charm. The main dish for us, is always Raan. Raan is a whole leg of lamb, marinated , slow roasted in its own juices for at least 8 hrs. I am not sure if they follow this regimen, but what I know is that the end product is out of this world. It is freshly cooked, juicy, always perfectly seasoned, slathered with their signature butter, de-boned and served in bite size pieces. This dish is just under INR 500 and so worth the price. It suffices as the main course to 3 average eaters. I have tried their Palak Paneer and Naans. Good but nothing out of this world. The decor is basic and non-pretentious. All in all, a great experience every time we visit.
