Dubai, UAE – In honor of the UAE's 54th National Day, INDIKAYA invites food enthusiasts to partake in a special culinary event, showcasing the essence of the nation through superb Indian flavors. On Monday, December 2nd, guests can indulge in the Eid Al Etihad multi-course menu, designed to embody balance, cultural richness, and tradition. Originally priced at AED 350, diners can enjoy this menu for a limited price of AED 160 per person, marking 54 years of unity with a generous 54% discount.
Steering clear of ostentation, INDIKAYA approaches National Day with genuine respect. “National Day unites everyone who considers the UAE home,” expressed Chef Hemant Oberoi of INDIKAYA. “Our objective is clear: to honor the day with dishes that celebrate our roots while embracing our modern identity.”
The Eid Al Etihad menu embarks on a journey through exquisite flavors. It begins with an Amuse Bouche that sets the stage for an immersive dining experience. Guests may choose from vegetarian starters such as the Jaitooni Malai Paneer Tikka, recognized for its smooth, spiced marinade, or the Subz Shikampuri Kebab, created with traditional culinary techniques. For non-vegetarian options, the Malabari Fish Tikka captivates with coastal flavors, while the Kesari Murgh Ki Chaap enchants with its saffron aroma.
Main courses artfully blend richness with delicacy. Vegetarian options include Khumbh Makhane Ka Salan, a delightful combination of mushrooms and fox nuts in a layered sauce, and Paneer Methi Ki Bhurji, where creamy paneer pairs beautifully with the slight bitterness of fenugreek. For meat lovers, there’s the Kandhari Murgh, known for its gentle acidity, and the Lagan Ka Ghost, a slow-cooked lamb dish that showcases the finesse of Indian culinary art. Each main course is accompanied by Dal Makhani, Minted Kabuli Pulao, and a variety of Indian breads for a satisfying meal.
Concluding the experience are two beloved desserts: Berry Phirni, a refreshing, creamy treat with soft fruit undertones, and Malai Kulfi, offering rich, nostalgic sweetness. Both desserts provide a perfect finale, enveloping diners in ambience of celebration.
Given the limited seating, this National Day dining experience promises a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. Early reservations are strongly advised to ensure a spot at this exceptional culinary festivity.
