Drawing inspiration from the royal kitchens of India, where Indian princely states along with the British Army Commanders used to hunt in the wild and brought their prized game, called as “Shikar”, to be skillfully prepared by their Master Chefs, Chingari has curated a special menu that pays tribute to this rich culinary tradition.

The Shikar and Biryani Food Festival aims to provide guests with an authentic taste of history honoring India’s diverse culture.

Guests can expect a variety of exquisite, flavorful Indian cuisines. Kick off your Shikar and Biryani dining experience with a selection of appetizing starters, such as crispy fried puris topped with chickpeas, yogurt, sweet and sour chutney or Papdi Chaat; masala prawns rubbed in South Indian spices and roasted on a tawa or Prawn Tawa Roast; and farm-fed venison with freshly grinded spices or Alamgir Hiran Tikka to name a few. 

The Chingari experience wouldn’t be complete without trying its famous tandoor!
