Sigree, Nungambakkam Review On the 5th floor of Kwality Inn Aruna, Sterling Road, Nungambakkam, Sigree promises a tandoori delight to north-indian food buffs especially kabab maniacs. The ambience is contemporary complete with the perfect lighting and soft music playing in the background.
Sigree has always been my colleagues its-time-for-a-lunch-treat joint because not only is it close to my office but it also gives them ample scope to lighten my wallet should they please.
Their buffet service is worth a try - the starters are a flood of kababs. For the plant lovers, it could range from paneer tikka, aloo tikki to mixed vegetarian kababs. The non vegetarians are treated to chicken tikka, chicken hariyali, seekh kabab and sometimes a fish tikka as well.
Aloo tikki was requested for repeat servings several times over - light and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with the mint chutney as its best friend. Chicken was well flavoured, lightly crisp and very juicy on the inside. It would be unfair if I did not mention the softness of the paneer, definitely one of the best around Chennai.
On the main course, there was vegetarian pulao, bhindi kali mirch (ladies finger pepper fry), mixed vegetable, Gosht Biriyani (Mutton biriyani), Gosht Roganjosh, Chicken in hyderabadi style - with the regular accompaniments, flavoured curd, salads et al. Rice well cooked and delicately spiced goes well with their side dishes. The variety at the main course is limited in comparison to the starters. But for someone who does not relish kababs, the buffet will be disappointer. The desserts had mixed fruits, kheer, hot jalebis and ice cream - again not much variety here either. Liquor is served on request.
