Two brunch deals that you cannot miss

Just when we thought that tri-coloured smoothies and pastas are stretching the scope of Independence day-themed dishes, a hotel has coined a term called “foodtriotism”. We’re going to ignore how the national holiday is turning into a circus and tell you about some fine deals at star hotels.

Machan at Taj Mahal Hotel

Feast on some of your favourite Indian food including dal makhni and kathi rolls

Even if it weren’t a special brunch (but of course it is), the food at Machan is truly outstanding. To celebrate Independence day, they’ve got dishes such as Tiranga pulao, Calcutta kathi rolls and mocktails flavoured with Indian spices. Don’t forget to ask for Machan’s signature dessert – The Bull’s Eye – truffle pastry worth every bite with vanilla ice cream.
