New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI) A variety of delectable kebabs — from the fiery and flavorful ‘Adana lamb kebab’ to the succulent ‘Doner kebab’ wrapped in soft pita bread — are featured alongside a tempting selection of dips at an ongoing food festival here, showcasing the finest of Turkish cuisine.
The Turkish food festival, currently underway at Tahia in Noida, captures the vibrant aromas, textures, and hospitality of a bustling Turkish bazaar as it offers a curated menu of traditional street-style favorites and innovative interpretations.
Whether it’s the ever-popular ‘Kibbeh’ — crispy bulgur shells filled with delicately spiced vegetables or lamb and fried to a perfect golden brown — or the showstopper ‘Lahmacun Turkish Pizza’ — a thin, crisp flatbread topped with fragrant herbs and a savory mix of spiced vegetables or minced lamb — the festival offers visitors an immersive culinary journey through the streets of Istanbul.
“At Tahia, we think that food is a storyteller — and this festival is our ode to the flavours and soul of the Middle East. We’ve reimagined each dish with love, spice, and creativity, while remaining true to tradition,” Nishant Kumar, founder of Tahia Noida, said in a statement.
The menu, curated by chef Kartikey Puram, boasts of a range of toothsome delicacies including ‘Jackfruit skewer kebab’, ‘Pide’ (Turkish flatbreads baked with spiced vegetables, cheese and herbs) and ‘Chicken Shish Touk’ (marinated grilled chicken served with garlic sauce and salad).
To finish off the feast on a sweet note, the festival offers indulgent desserts like the gooey viral sensation ‘Kunafa brownie pistachio indulgence’ and the sinful ‘Zaffrani milk cake’.
