Earlier this week, Hyatt Bangalore invited me on the inaugural day of their “Beer Kebab & Biryani” festival.The venue was Lido , all day multi cuisine dining restaurant facing the turquoise blue pool.The alfresco dining area near the pool is a great place to catch up with friends.
Before I talk about my food festival experience here , I would like to mention that If you love your Sunday brunch, LIDO All Day Dining is the place to be with friends and dear ones. The lavish spread of Indian, Western and Pan-Asian delights with Pool side view and live music makes it perfect for lazy weekend dining.
The first to be served to us was, “Murgh Sufiyani Biryani”, chef’s own variation with layered chicken and biryani rice, enriched with almond and mawa. Inspired from the awadhi style and cooked in Dum style, the flavors were subtle with mild spices.
Next in the line, was the authenticated delicacy from the Dindigul region of Tamilnadu, “Thalappakatti Biriyani”. Prepared from the small grained zeera samba rice ( approximately a third the size of a grain of basmati) , it is cooked together with flavorful spice enriched with local culture.
The BKB Fest Kabab menu consists of Gosht Seekh Kebab, Shikampuri Kebab, Murgh Malai Tikka,Chicken tangri, Fish Sufiyani Tikka, Amritsari Macchi, Paneer Zafrani Tikka.
For the vegetarians , it had the Palak Kaju ki Shami and Subz Akhrot ki Seekh.
The Kababs were tantalizingly delicious with right balance of flavors and spice blends. Served with Kachumbar salad and two chutneys, my clear favorites here were the Murgh Malai Tikka , Shikampuri kebab , Palak kaju ki shami and Amritsari macchi.
Usually whenever we think of Biryani , we think of rice.But surprisingly , this is not often true. The “Khare Siyiyan Biryani” , is one such example of biryani that is prepared from ghee roasted vermicelli, simmered with lamb mince, in an elite style of dum cooking with striking spices.
For the vegetarians, the menu has two type of Biryanis, namely the Subz Navratan Biryani and Kubuli.
The former has the delectable assortment of vegetables and dry fruits craftily combined with flavored rice and spices while the later is a classical vegetarian delicacy, straight from the kitchens of Nawab and has the Bengal gram and long grain rice cooked together to perfection with enriched aromatic spices.
It would be difficult to pick one here as both exceeded my vegetarian biryani expectations.
“The season is here and it brings the thought of relishing some lip-smacking kebabs and accompanied by wide variety of aromatic biryanis that constitute a memorable dining experience.”

The prime idea of this BKB fest is to offer a wholesome meal that has myriad variety of Indian Biryanis to choose from, along with an assortment of Kebabs while sipping the beer in a relaxed environment overlooking the pool.
The festival has already begun !
And the menu looks very promising, where one can choose 1 portion of Biryani from their delectable options along with 3 pieces of Kababs, served with a mug of draught beer.
Priced at INR 1000 ++,
I feel it’s a awesome deal that no one can refuse.
