Crowne Plaza Gr Noida celebrates Mughlai cuisine

Crowne Plaza Greater Noida has curated a special food festival, Kitchen of Mughals, at the hotel’s award-winning Indian fine dining restaurant, Spice Art, from May 17-31. Celebrating the grandeur and flavours of royal Mughal kitchens, the restaurant has been transformed into a majestic Durbar with rich décor, live Indian classical music, and a menu inspired by heirloom recipes and regal cooking techniques.

Conceptualised by Chef Vijay, the festival pays homage to the rich culinary traditions of Awadh and Delhi, reviving slow-cooked delicacies once reserved for emperors and nobles. “Kitchen of Mughals is a tribute to the culinary artistry of the Mughal era. Every dish tells a story — from the royal courts to the bylanes of Awadh and Delhi. We’ve revived age-old techniques and recipes that capture the indulgent soul of this cuisine,” said Chef Vijay.

Highlights from the festival menu include:

• Kakori Kebab – Soft, minced meat kebabs grilled with precision.
  
• Murgh Musallam – Whole chicken in a royal marinade, slow-cooked to perfection.
  
• Bohri Raan – Aromatic whole leg of lamb, spiced and roasted.
  
• Mahi Qaliya – Fish cooked in a turmeric-infused yogurt gravy.
  
• Badami Paneer Korma – Paneer in a rich almond-based curry.
  
• Muradabadi Gosht Biryani – Saffron-layered mutton biryani.
  
• Shahi Meetha – A luxurious dessert of saffron-soaked bread, dry fruits, and thickened milk.

Sharad K Upadhyay, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Greater Noida, commented, “At Crowne Plaza Greater Noida, we continually seek to deliver immersive dining experiences. Kitchen of Mughals is not just a meal; it’s a journey through the rich history and opulence of one of the world’s most celebrated culinary legacies.”

Guests can immerse in the taste of imperial Indian delicacies between 7pm and 11pm.
