HYDERABAD: Iftar, a significant moment during Ramzan, holds great importance. It marks the time when our Muslim friends break their fast, sharing a sumptuous meal that brings them joy as they gather with their families. Emphasising the essence of these traditions, the Royal Reve Hotel has curated a menu that embodies regal splendour and minimalism, offering a feast fit for royalty. CE recently had the opportunity to partake in this exquisite experience.
Stepping into the Royal Reve Hotel’s restaurant area, we were warmly greeted and ushered to our seats to commence our feast. To start, we were presented with a refreshing drink: Rooh Afza with a hint of lime soda, perfectly suited for the season, setting a delightful tone for the meal. Next, we savoured the Hyderabadi marag, its comforting broth infused with just the right blend of spices, tender mutton melting in the mouth — it was truly the epitome of marag perfection.
Without delay, we indulged in the star of the show: haleem. This hearty dish, meticulously spiced and blended with tender meat, exuded a richness of flavours. The mutton haleem, in particular, stood out with its exquisite taste, leaving an indelible mark on our palates.
But the feast didn’t conclude with haleem. No iftar is complete without the quintessential mutton and chicken biryani, and Royal Reve’s rendition was nothing short of authentic perfection. Served with love, the Hyderabadi biryani boasted tender, juicy meat enveloped in a medley of spices, each bite a testament to culinary mastery.
Just when we thought our culinary journey had reached its zenith, we were treated to the crowning glory of the meal: kurbani ka meetha, the regal dessert that left us enchanted.
The restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and flavour balance shone through every dish, making it an ideal venue to host an iftar for your loved ones.
