“Food, glorious Food” is the ditty playing in one’s head at Kheer, the newly opened Indian fine-dining restaurant at Roseate House in Aerocity. Good wholesome fare, served in ample portions sans mist and fog and whistles. We were happy to note that the Chefs at Kheer have
steered clear of the current fad of artistic gastronomy, designed to
entertain the visual rather than feed a hungry diner. Kheer offers north
Indian cuisines, including popular street food from around Delhi.
The interiors of Kheer are strikingly beautiful, with stone carved
geometric and floral panels on walls. Ankur Bhatia commissioned the
well-known Japanese designer Noriyoshi Muramatsu, founder of Studio Glitt to do up the interiors for this new fine dining destination. Muramatsu has also designed the beautiful interiors of Zuma in New York and
all its nine international locations. The large spaces in Kheer can
accommodate 224 seats, which are divided in three distinctive areas,
separate private dining area and a live kitchen. Suitably bedazzled by
the décor, we looked forward to experiencing what the chef had to offer.
And happily, were not disappointed at all. There is something really
comforting about having a meal that flows with the clarity of the
familiar, yet tantalizing in that it notches up the flavors to
perfection. This was all about something as simple as mixing great food
with great service, which often gets entangled in other parameters and
misses the bus – so to speak...
