REVIEW: Hitchki At The Grand Millennium Hotel

Author John Thomas
HITCHKI (the Hindi word for “Hiccup”) is a brand built on the essence of nostalgia and this internationally aspirational brand focuses on regional cuisine and introduces elements of nostalgia to the dining experience. 

The economically priced menu incorporates regional and traditional flavors from across India and offers classic favorites with a modern twist. Each dish has a quirky touch in a manner that suits the palate and lifestyle of the current day, by way of contemporary preparation and plating. 



Hitchki seamlessly transforms itself from day to night, defined by international skill & service it is sure to transverse you back in time to the ‘days of joy.’

I visited Hitchki with my friend Suren Rajamohan who is a cricket fanatic so with the live India - Afghanistan match on at their full screen, we both had a great time. We were met by the friendly operations manager Vaidhyanathan Reddiar who ensured that from the time we entered to the time we stepped out, we were very well taken care off. 



We started off with some heady cocktails and juices including but not limited to those with quirky names like Sweety Tweety, drunken nimbu soda, passion fruit iced tea, etc.

In starters were were served with tantalizing Chicken Khurana which is their best seller and Prawns Jaye par. Both teased the palates like nothing before and made us long for the next course. 

In the mains I ordered Parda Biryani - A khandani recipe Awadhi biryani of mutton garnished with rich cashew nuts, munakka, and sided with Bhurani raita. The biryani was so yummy and well cooked with all the right spices  in the right levels making it such a pleasure to enjoy for a die hard biryani lover like me.

My friend ordered Galti Se Mis Steak - a Surf and Turf with Head on Shrimp, Rib eye steak, roasted yam, zucchini pappardelle and raspberry juice. 



We finished off with Baratiyo ka swagat and Banofee bom in desserts. The desserts were really very sweet so not much to my liking however for a sweet lover, it is just a perfect treat. 

Some of the other dishes on their menu included ones wiih quirky names like Bas Kar Pagle Rulayega Kya, Ulta Punjab, Aamrish Puri, Skewer Ke Bacchon, Tumse Na Ho Payega & many more to take us down the memory lane, hold a place in the menu. Hitchki serves never seen before drinks each with its own unique spin; from the Boondi Mojito to the Swadeeka, I hate Tears to Bhatt Saab ki Chai, 



Hitchki offers a wide range of drinks at pocket friendly prices.     Desserts and Dessert cocktails such as Bas Kar Pagle Rulayega Kya, Tareekh Pe Tareekh, Chocolate Lava Kulfi, Balam Pichkari - Rasgulla Shots, and Bubble Gum shots, sets the bar on a sweet high. 

This place is an ABSOLUTE MUST VISIT. 

Hitchki ticks all the right boxes in terms of taste, innovation, quality of service, value.  So a full 5 on zomato for this restaurant from blogliterati.co

A Bong Affair at Dil Se Desi, Bur Dubai

Bengal is home to one of the most diverse and unique cuisines in the whole of India and no two Bengali dishes are alike. Having lived in the UAE for past thirteen years, I have had the good fortune to enjoy some varied international cuisines however, however there has been a big lacunae in the Bengali culinary space with very few restaurants specialised in Bengali fare. There are hardly any restaurants here in Dubai that cater to this segment. I thank my good friend and blogger Subashree for introducing me to Dil Se Desi. This restaurant is an answer the long felt need for more north indian and bengali cuisine restaurants in this space.  The restaurant is run by a passionate couple who left their jobs to follow their dream of starting a restaurant that offered very true-to-roots simple and sincere fare that could be enjoyed by all. I visited Dil Se Desi last week - a very humble and unassuming restaurant offering some very refreshing north eastern tastes. I enjoyed s

Enjoy a truly cultural experience in one of Dubai’s most progressive neighborhoods at Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant Ethiopian cuisine has been gaining a whole new level of popularity globally off late and this is with good reason. The usage of highly nutritious native vegetables, spices and meat make Ethiopian cuisine one of the most unique and delicious cuisines in the world.  What's more, the Ethiopian national staple food - the Injera, is made of highly nutritious and gluten-free  teff  grain. This grain indigenous to the Ethiopian region, is known to contain a very high proportion of fiber — more than any other grain on Earth. It is also a complete source of protein, iron and calcium.

Sadly, if there’s one cuisine in Dubai that most people haven’t tried, it’s probably Ethiopian. With only a handful restaurants serving traditional Et

After my recent visit to Gunaydin – which in my opinion is the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai, my expectations from any Turkish restaurants have risen to all time high. When I got invited from Zou Zou – the Turkish Lebanese restaurant at La Mer, I was all in for it, to try and compare. I visited Zou Zou last week with a very dear friend who is also a big foodie like me and a lover of all things Turkish. So needless to say, we went there with lots of expectations and a hungry tummy of course. I must mention that Zou Zou didn’t disappoint. First off I have to remark about the service. It was pleasant, warm and quick. I was met by Latif Kural the friendly operations manager who has played a role in the setting up several reputed Turkish restaurants in the Dubai.  He is a fine guy with a very pleasant disposition who ensured we felt 'at home'. Latif assigned a waiter de table for us and made sure to drop in every now and then to check on us and see if we were enjoyi
