It's been a year since SanSara joined the lineup of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel restaurants, showcasing the best of Awadhi cuisine with influences from North India.

Non-Vegetarian Set Menu 4/5

It is celebrating this special milestone with a limited-time 'A Regal Lucknowi Feast' available from 4 to 17 October and 11 to 30 November 2024. The feast is available in both non-vegetarian and vegetarian options.

Murgh Badami Shorba

Our Non-Vegetarian Menu ($78 per pax) began with Murgh Badami Shorba, a hearty chicken broth. Its garlicky and peppery undertones were reminiscent of a well-seasoned bak kut teh.

Murgh Jahan-ara, Jhinga Dum Nisha

For appetisers, we were treated to the Murgh Jahan-ara, a tender chicken dish richly marinated in a saffron-spiced yoghurt, blending garlic, green chilli, and cardamom powder for a well-balanced flavour.

Alongside, the Jhinga Dum Nisha, a grilled tiger prawn, boasted a subtly spiced cardamom profile with an additional peppery kick. The tangy yoghurt dressings enhanced both dishes with a refreshing contrast.

Main Course

The Main Course featured a fun spread of four distinctive curries served with fluffy basmati rice. These included Murgh Rezala, a creamy chicken curry with mint and almonds, and Gosht Shahi Pasanda, a fragrant lamb curry featuring Mathania chilli and garam masala.

The Dhuandhar Dum Aloo had baby potatoes simmered in a buttery yoghurt sauce, while the Nawabi Dal had yellow lentil curry with saffron and cream.

Sheermal Roti, Warqi Paratha

Accompanying the curries were two types of freshly made bread - Sheermal Roti and Warqi Paratha. They were crisp and flaky, perfect for scooping up the rich curries. Our table quickly polished off the basket.

Chawal Gulab Ka Kheer

The dessert was Chawal Gulab Ka Kheer, a rose-scented rice pudding topped with cashews, pistachios, and almonds. While the combination of fragrant rose petals and nuts was intriguing, the dish felt a bit heavy after the indulgent meal. I personally would prefer a lighter dessert to complement.
