Embracing Comfort Food with a Culinary Journey
Winter is the perfect time to indulge in dishes that provide warmth and nourishment. Taftoon’s menu features an array of regional delicacies that highlight the essence of North Indian and Mughlai cuisine. From slow-cooked meats to aromatic broths, each dish tells a story of tradition and taste.
Start your meal with the Kagzi Badam Shorba, a rich and aromatic soup made from pureed almonds cooked in a flavorful stock, bringing the rustic flavors of the mountains straight to your bowl. Available in both vegetarian and chicken options, this dish is the perfect way to begin your winter feast.
Indulgent Mains to Keep You Warm
Winter dining calls for robust flavors, and Taftoon’s mains deliver just that. The Mutton Paya Stew, a breakfast favorite from Azamgarh, features mildly-spiced goat trotters slow-cooked in an earthen pot for a deep, comforting richness.
For those looking for something crispy and satisfying, the Kurkuri Kand is a must-try. A fusion of Haryana and Benaras, this dish includes crispy sweet roots and spuds, topped with sweet curd, tamarind, and green chutneys, served with Bengali-style beguni.
For a unique twist on a classic, the Dimer Devil Chaat takes inspiration from the British clubs of Calcutta. Boiled egg halves are coated with a potato mixture, crumb-fried to perfection, and served with tangy kasundi, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
Meat lovers will appreciate the Boti Ghee, a dish discovered in Bihar Sharif. This melt-in-the-mouth mutton is braised and barbecued with a signature blend of spices, finished off with aromatic spiced ghee for an indulgent experience.
Sip and Savour the Season
No winter dining experience is complete without beverages that complement the chilly weather. Taftoon’s mocktails offer an array of warming flavors. The Hot In Here, with pineapple chilli shrub and kokum syrup, brings a perfect balance of spice and tang, while the High Mary, featuring cranberry, watermelon, and hibiscus rosemary cordial, offers a refreshing yet comforting twist.
