Enter the restaurant and ambience will bowl you over. The ceiling itself will take your breath away with circular leather constructions, dim lighting set up and ignited wall decorations go well with the theme of the restaurant. The restaurant serves variety of delicacies while you make yourself comfortable inside or out in the courtyard.
Food and Fire have always been linked, from the very first time when fire was ignited in the prehistoric time, till now when cooking has been considered as a fine art. Ignis, the restaurant located in the heart of the city – Connaught Place – aims at bringing together the deep understanding of food from across the seas and blend it together with India’s own unique experience with fire, to craft ‘glocal’ recipes that simply ignite the palette and promises to satiate your heart as well as your stomach!
The large screen projector adds on to the level of enjoyment, and if you are a sports lover…some cocktail shots can be enjoyed with a good dose of entertainment. Offering a multi-faceted global cuisine, Ignis does justice to the assortment of non-traditional starters, main course dishes, soups, Italian pizzas served for the sophisticated foodies of the city.
Ask the executive chef, Rahul Anand about the specialty, and he replied, “Though the menu offers a wide selection in continental, oriental and world cuisine but I would like to maintain Indian delicacies are the best.” Taking me through the menu, he helped me to fix the appetizer to start with. And after some sip of hot lemon tea on a rainy day, here comes my Vegetable Kebab platter. With some Basil Pepper Paneer Tikka, Subzi Mung Dal Seekh, Spinach Kebab and Corn & Basil Kebab, the platter was an ultimate indulgence for all the veggie lovers. Grab a bite and they dissolve in your mouth and leave various lovely flavours. The restaurant takes a fresh look at the Tandoor (the sizzling oven) and is always striving to serve the best of unheard recipes. Among the world cuisine, Ignis offers California Platter that is served with Jalepeno, Cheese, Onion rings and crispy mushrooms.
Mouth watering delicacies and classic music “Hotel California” by Eagles and sound ambience makes Ignis the perfect space to send some quality time with your loved ones over some extraordinary multi-cuisine servings. For all those non vegetarians Amritsari Tawa Boti and Amritsari Fish is something to relish. And Greek style grilled chicken on skewers served with yoghurt pepper corn dip will be enjoyed.
After the appetizer, Baked Pasta with Mushroom & Cheese picked from the Continental menu is recipes which one shouldn’t miss. It will not only add flavours to your taste bud but also satiate with a good serving of cheese, cream and white sauce added to it. And if we talk about Oriental dishes, Stir fried vegetables with Thai Basil sauce is counted as one of the specialties served in Ignis. If you want to try out the Indian main courses…go for Videshi mix in Desi Masala that offers an innovative mix of broccoli, baby corn, mushroom, and pepper, all sorted and cooked with Indian spices. Dilli Paneer Curry is another sought after dish; paneer simmered in Fenugreek and Yogurt gravy!
Hmmm…desserts! Parsi Malai Kulfi and New York Fudge Brownies with Walnuts are never to be missed. Yummy! So what are you waiting for…go and check out this cool restaurant!
