Rajakeeyam – A platter of thoroughbred Konkan cuisine served within the environs of a perfectly styled crash pad where a few edible sins would go unnoticed. The meal culminates with a choice of welcome drinks ranging from Cocum to Sharbat followed by a variety of lip-smacking starters teasing your taste buds. By the time your calorie alarm goes off, it turns out to be a little too late.

Further pampering is in place for you to relish the array of dishes complimented with the choicest of Indian bread. This is the moment where, one is stuffed to capacity but decides to test his limits as the meal gets way too scrumptious to give-up mid-way. Don’t you worry, you have just come mid-way and you have a long road ahead.

A choice of Biriyani or Ghee Rice, a decision you wish you hadn’t made. When you realize you have swept the table clean, the Konkan waiter informs you that you still have to remain seated as rising without pleasuring your sweet tooth is out of bounds.

RAJAKEEYAM is available in both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian platters. The Non-Vegetarian platter offers a mélange of entrée’s ranging from Fish, Prawns, Squids, Chicken and Mutton in all forms. The Vegetarian platter offers a mishmash of Potato Roasts, Kadala Curry, Veg. Gassi and more.
