Park Balluchi Review

Turbaned waiters in this award-winning restaurant serve an extensive and exciting range of kebabs and spicy tandoor items in a parklike atmosphere. Come for lunch and you may glimpse rabbits and peacocks, or one of the 300 deer that roam the park. The specialty at Balluchi is the sangam seekh, tantalizing combinations of two meats (chicken and mutton marinated in herbs); try the Afghani-style murgh-potli -- tandoori-prepared chicken breast stuffed with minced mutton and served over a flaming sword. Other favorites include raan sikandari, roast leg of lamb marinated in herbs, spices, and rum and then grilled in the tandoor. Vegetarians should order mewa paneer tukra, paneer stuffed with raisins, sultanas, walnuts, and other nuts; preparation of this dish takes at least 12 hours. Be sure to get a side order of peshawri naan, bread cooked in the tandoor oven with poppy seeds and coriander leaves.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
