THE IRANI DELIGHT

Place : The Soda Bottle Opener Wala, DLF Mall, Noida Sector-18

'Parsis' or 'parsees' are descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Iran during the Arab invasion in the 17th century. Their cuisine is a beautiful mix of sweet and hot, spice and nice. Parsi cuisine has two most distinctive features, first its subtle taste, and secondly the creative use of common spices blended in their delicacies. The cuisine has a heavy Middle Eastern influence due to its location, and it’s especially influenced by Turkish cuisine.

Although Parsi cuisine is gradually declining but restaurants like 'SodaBottleOpenerWala' are making huge efforts to introduce it in cities in India by exploring new dishes and introducing Parsi cuisine in cities like Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai. I visited this restaurant in Noida as well as in Gurugram and they serve some really authentic Parsi food and beverages.


I tried Bohri Keema Pav and Chicken Farcha which had an uncomplicated and pleasing flavours to the Indian palate. Bohri Keema Pav is a popular Parsi street dish of spicy minced lamb curry and normally enjoyed as a snack in the evening along with buttered pav or bread and Chicken Farcha is another mouth-watering, light appetizer of chicken breast  battered in bread crumbs and deep fried.



I even tried ice cream soda (which is nowadays very common in other restaurants) and  Irani Falooda which took my heart away! Irani Falooda was mildly sweetened , smooth with 'falooda' mixed with it and rose syrup on top. Once you taste it, you can not forget the taste.


Exquisite place it is indeed! And if I talk about the ambiance of this place, then this place is a modern version of old Parsi restaurants with many Parsi artifacts adorning the walls. Although I’m not much happy with the service but this place is worth a try!



Do visit this place and try these super delicious delicacies. Share your experiences in the comments section.

Love you all!
