Kebabs and Kormas are considered to be Nawabi food from Lucknow one that has to be prepared in a certain way to get the flavours flowing. We attended the food festival at Fortune Grazia, Noida, for some delectable kebabs, kormas and mango desserts. The Fortune Inn Grazia in Noida has an ongoing "Kebabs & Qorma" festival from 8th to 24th June. 2018 at the Earthen Oven restaurant. The vegetarian kebabs are as good as the non-vegetarian ones at the ongoing festival - June 8 till June 24.
Celebrating the regal Lucknowi cuisine, veg and non-veg kebabs were delicious and soft, melted in the mouth with an infusion of flavours directly hitting your taste buds and senses. The environment, emotions, the color of the room, and everything going on around can also influence the sensory experience. The decor of the restaurant immediately elevated the whole experience - with colourful kites on the wall to ethnic drape on the ceiling, each element was inviting and refreshing.
