If you’ve run out of options for a work lunch, head to Aaira. The restaurant at The Myx is making things easy with lunch-time combo meals.
Executive sous chef Abbas, who had worked extensively in the Middle East, has brought in the culinary influences from the region and beyond to design the combos. If the Mendi Combo has an Arabic Chicken Biryani, Dariya Mahel offers Baida Roti and Goan Fish Curry. And there’s plenty for vegetarians to choose from, with four combos each in the vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections.
The combos, says chef Abbas, “try to appeal to the chatpata city of Calcutta, bringing out the essence of tok, jhaal and mishti.” If the chicken in Arabic biryani has a hint of ketchup, the Vegetable Shashlik that comes with the Kochi Combo is sweet and spicy. All the combos come with a complimentary soft drink of the guest’s choice.
