It was a typically dull Saturday afternoon when my brother and I felt wephoto 2 needed to catch up and enjoy some quality time. That, of course, meant good food and good conversation. We’ve been craving Indian food for a while so we decided to head to the “Maharaja” at Hilton Ramses, one of the oldest Indian restaurants in Egypt. Located on the first floor, the place had a pemaharajarfect Indian essence to it. We were greeted by an extremely hospitable waiter who showed us to our table and offered us the menu. The variety was overwhelming; we had to ask the waiter to recommend the best plates. We ended up unregretfully ordering too much food starting off with Mulligatawany (Indian chicken and lentil) soup, and Chicken Pakora (fried chicken strips) for appetizer, Jhinga Til Tanka (fried shrimps with sesame) and Shahi platter (the Indian version of mix grill) which was deliciously marinated. For the main course, we had Murgh Tikka Masalaphoto 1 (1) (boneless chicken in traditional curry) and Dingri Mutter (the vegetarian version of the tikka masala cooked with mushrooms and peas) with Jeera Chawal (basmati rice with cumin); they were all simply delightful. Last but definitely not least, we ordered the mouth-watering Mithai platter for dessert. It was an amazing assortment of ice cream, fried honey dipped dough similar to the famous “lo2met el ady”, and sweet carrots.Sounds like an odd combination but was definitely one of the most tasty desserts I’ve ever tried. The prices were affordable given that it’s a five stars restaurant. Interestingly, the chefs comephoto 2 (1) from different parts of India providing unique culinary experiences to please all tastes. If you’re a vegetarian you’llbe amazed at the wide selection they cater. Frankly, it was a beautiful dining experience that everyone should give a try!
