You will love Indian cuisine at Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia
Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia, a new Indian gastronomic outlet that serves Indian regional cuisine with a contemporary feel, has opened its doors at Jumeirah Al Qasr hotel in Al Safouh, Dubai, UAE.
A partnership between Haute Gourmet Co., a Dubai-based hospitality group that specialises in exceptional fine dining experiences and renowned Indian chef Ritu Dalmia Atrangi offers a curated menu featuring both popular and lesser-known recipes from across India, as well as those resurrected from age-old recipes.
The menu is inspired by various regions and communities of India and presents dishes commonly enjoyed in Indian homes and streets.
From the northernmost region of Kashmir to the southern tip of Kerala, diners at Atrangi can savour a variety of signature chef dishes, including the tantalising Kashmiri Kabargah, a delicacy where lamb chops are cooked in milk and spices before being fried in rice flour and ghee.
Another highlight is the Wagyu Beef Jadoh, a rice dish that originates from the Khasi tribe of Meghalaya. Even vegetarians are in for a treat with the restaurant’s Cottage Cheese and Date Kofta in a mushroom gravy.
‘High-quality cooking’
Dalmia said: “What we want to offer at Atrangi is not fire and smoke, but honest cooking of high quality. We are not looking to offer super-expensive, super-fancy food, as somehow, I feel the food landscape is changing worldwide, and people now need more comfort rather than a single experience.”
Atrangi’s beverages draw inspiration from an array of spices, flowers, and fruits found in India’s bustling street markets.
Diners can indulge in cocktails infused with notes of marigold, mogra, rose, tamarind, mango, ginger, saffron, tea, clarified butter, and many more aromatic elements.
Minimalist and European aesthetics influence the interior design of Atrangi, resulting in a space that portrays simplicity and elegance.
Subtle Indian accents, such as rattan and kadappa stone, also feature throughout the inside of the restaurant.
Atrangi is only open for dinner, 6pm to 12am, daily.
