The name Jiggs Kalra is
synonymous to an elite culinary experience in the hospitality dynasty of India.
Through works of art like Masala Library and MasalaBar, a legacy has been created.
Zorawar Kalra, successor of the Kalra empire, carries on this legacy with Farzi
Café, one of the city’s most talked about ‘newly-opened’. Contemporary Indian
Cuisine in its finest form. Farzi is enveloped in the large compound of Kamala
Mills, a restaurant hub by itself. Once in, an all-stone, dimly lit ambience
engulfs you and illusionary lighting takes over (special mention to the light
show above the bar). The restaurant is fairly large and experiences a
transformation post 7pm (I vow to not be a spoiler). The service is truly
impeccable, executed by slick-dressed managers and stewards with thorough
knowledge of the menu and its content. Every beverage recommendation by the
witty Shahbaz, our server for the evening, was spot on. Under the care of head
chef, Kunal, our meal was a smooth voyage. All preferences and allergies were
noted, and our meal was crafted accordingly. He frequented our table to make
certain that all was okay. Generally, before visiting a restaurant, I do a
little background research of my own. Prior to my visit, I had a slammed week.
Having only heard praises about the place, I was almost a clean slate, ready to
be amazed.
Getting down to the real deal,
the point of emphasis, the highlight…the food! Everything was created with the
finest of ingredients, utmost care, precision and skill. All meals commence
with an amuse bouche of deceiving Mishti Doi spheres. Personally, big fan of
mishti doi and I must say that it was amusing (pun intended) to see it in its
#Farzified form.
