For Canadians seeking bold flavours and a rich tapestry of dishes, few culinary experiences rival an Indian buffet. At Mughal Mahal, a popular destination for authentic fare, the buffet is not just a meal, it’s a vibrant showcase of traditional and modern Indian cuisine, carefully curated for variety and taste.
Starters That Pack a Punch
The buffet begins with a satisfying array of appetizers. From golden, crisp Veg Samosas and Chicken Samosas to flavourful Pakora Boxes, including Paneer Pakora, Amritsari Fish Pakora, and Onion Pakora, there’s no shortage of crunch. You’ll also find Masala Fries and Spring Rolls, adding a touch of Indo-Western fusion to the selection.
Chaats to Awaken the Palate
Indian street food lovers will appreciate the dedicated chaats section. Favourites like Pani Puri (Gol Gappa), Bhel Puri, Chaat Papri, and Dahee Bhalla are on offer, bursting with tangy, spicy, and sweet notes in every bite. These cold, savoury snacks are a welcome contrast to the hotter curries that follow.
Curries for Every Taste
The buffet includes both classic and signature curries. From vegetarian options like Channa Masala, Malai Kofta, and Dal Makhni, to meat-based choices such as Butter Chicken, Goat Curry, and Beef Vindaloo, each curry delivers depth of flavour. One standout is Karahi Paneer, a house-special paneer dish infused with capsicum, onion, and a spiced tomato base.
This rich range captures the complexity of Indian cuisine, where balance between heat, aroma, and texture defines every dish.
Sizzling Tandoori Selections
The tandoor offerings bring a smoky, chargrilled element to the buffet. Guests can enjoy Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, and the creamy Malai Chaap. The Chatpatte Wings and Pataka Kabab add flair for spice lovers, while vegetarians can relish Tandoori Paneer Tikka and Dry Fruit Veggie Kabab—both tender and bold in flavour.
Biryani and Bread Pairings
Hearty rice dishes like Chicken Biryani and Goat Biryani serve as filling staples. Paired with freshly baked Garlic Naan, Lachha Prantha, or Amritsari Kulcha, these mains turn the buffet into a complete, satisfying experience.
Ending with a Sweet or Fizzy Finish
Round off the meal with refreshing beverages such as Royal Faluda, Shikanji, or Desi Cold Coffee. The drinks menu alone offers enough variety to suit every palate, from classic Masala Tea to adventurous options like Jhakaas Mango Mojito.
An Indian buffet at Mughal Mahal is not only an exploration of flavour but also of culture and craft. With dishes prepared authentically and presented generously, it’s a delicious opportunity to experience India’s culinary diversity.
