Mast Kalandar is having a special Holi buffet from the 2nd to the 4th March. Went there last evening and found that the place had a festive look and was all lit up. There were about 8-10 items in the buffet. For starters, I tried the dahi bhallas and papdi chaat and both were very good. There was also a sweetish dish which looked like a samosa which my daughter loved. The waiter brought a plate of hot and delicious methi puris which we had with the mattar panner and the superb dum aloo benarasi and some flavoured rice. The dum aloo benarasi was my favourite - it had a nice sour and zingy flavour. Dessert was yummy malpua rabdi and we washed down our entire meal with thandai.
Very nicely put together menu - with a home-made flavour - I felt like I was eating a family meal at my uncle's house on a festive occasion. An especially good bet for North Indians missing home during this season.
