Indish is a new player on the delivery scene, but the brand seems to have made quite a name for itself in a short period of time. And that is owing to its delicious food and superior packing. The brand offers traditional Mughlai dishes along with a few innovative items as well. The food is all prepared fresh by highly trained chefs using the finest quality ingredients. The menu is quite diverse and has loads on offer for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
We tried a few items from the outlet, and we were pleased to see the brilliant packaging with good-quality containers with proper labeling, and the courteous demeanor of the delivery person, who made the special effort to climb up the stairs and drop off the food at our dining table.
The Tandoori Kathal had crispy jackfruit coated with a yogurt and spice dressing, chargrilled in clay oven to get a nice meaty texture and lovely flavor.
The Hariyali Chicken Tikka had big, juicy chicken pieces coated in a marinade of mint, coriander, and spices, and was delicious.
The Butter Chicken Samosa was a really nice and interesting dish- it had crispy, flaky mini samosas filled with shredded chicken, served with butter chicken gravy as a dipping sauce.
The Dal Makhani was really thick and robust, as was simmered overnight to get a nice creamy texture. However, it could have done with a bit more kastoori methi flavor.
The Mutton Nihari was one of the best we’ve had- it had prime cuts of lamb, which were stewed overnight with added bone marrow and aromatic spices, on a low flame to get a deep flavor. The gravy was really flavorsome without being too spicy, and had nice earthy undertones.
The Gosht Biryani came sealed in a handi, made with basmati rice layered with spiced braised lamb, fresh herbs, and browned onions. We enjoyed the biryani with Burrani Raita- a yogurt tempered with fried garlic and chilies.
Their desserts were also exceptional- the Beetroot Halwa had shredded beetroot cooked over a slow flame, topped with grated khoya and pistachio slivers. But what we enjoyed even more was the Spinach Halwa, something which we tried for the first time. The spinach was slow cooked so it retained its vibrancy, and was very lightly sweetened, and topped with slivered almonds and khoya.
Overall, we loved the food and the packaging, and will be ordering again very soon. This place is highly recommended!

We ordered a few items, which came neatly packed and were delivered right on time. The Kebab Platter had murg basil tikka, murg zaitooni kalmi, chapli kebab, gosht seekh kebab, and patrani machhi. The basil tikka had juicy chicken chunks coated with a lovely, fresh paste made with basil and walnuts, which was really flavorful, and the murg kalmi had chicken drumsticks crusted with dried black olives and chili flakes, and grilled to perfection. The seekh kebab was really juicy and flavorsome, and the chapli kebab had a juicy patty made with coarsely minced mutton mixed with spices, and we really loved that it had a nice bite to it. The fish was steamed in a banana leaf, making it really moist and flaky, and it topped with a tasty house-special chutney.
The Gosht Motiya Biryani came sealed in a handi, and had fragrant, perfectly-cooked rice, which was mildly flavored, just as it should be, along with juicy meat balls. The biryani was topped with caramelized onions, which added a nice element to it, and was served with salan and raita.
The food is tasty, the portions are large, and the prices are reasonable, making this a place worth trying for sure!
Their online order platform and app are both super easy to use, and each dish has a detailed description, and also mentions the calorie count. We ordered three dishes from their diverse menu, and tried to go for different cuisines, and were impressed with all three.
The Chicken Mezze Platter was an absolute delight and we were really happy with how neatly all the items were packed. The platter had chicken shawarma which had soft, nicely grilled, thin bread filled with a mixture of juicy chicken, onions and spices, along with toyuk chicken kebabs, tabbouleh, pita bread, and dips. The toyuk kebabs had nicely cooked boneless chicken pieces doused with a mild sauce and seasoned with a Turkish spice blend, and were really tasty. The pita bread was nice and thin, and the dips- hummus, tzatziki, and pesto, were all fresh, vibrant and really tasty. The tabbouleh, however, was a tad bland, and could have done with some more herbs to enhance the flavor.
Overall, Culinate is a place we’ve bookmarked for all those times when hunger pangs strike but we still need to eat healthy (though really tasty) food!
We started off with a Citrus Mart Mocktail, which had a mix of orange, lime, pomegranate, and ginger. The Strawberry Coconut Shake was really nice as well, with both flavors coming through nicely.
The Junkyard Veg Special Platter had spicy onion rings, cheesy potato skins, four cheese spring rolls, and cheese jalapeno croquettes. The onion rings had a nice spicy and crunchy batter coating on it and tasted great with the barbeque sauce and ranch dressing. The potato skins were nicely filled with gooey, melted cheese and bell peppers, but the potatoes could be a tad crispier. This dish tasted really nice with the fresh tomato salsa and sour cream served alongside. The spring rolls had a crunchy, thin filo sheet covering, and was filled with spinach, sweet corn, jalapenos, and four types of cheese- mozzarella, cheddar, ricotta, and parmesan). The jalapenos and cheese croquettes were crispy and spicy but we would have preferred it to be cheesier.
The Tandoori Veg Platter had achaari paneer tikka, subz seekh, malai broccoli, and malai soya chaap. The marination on the paneer tikka was really tangy and spicy and the flavor had penetrated inside as well, while the malai broccoli had a creamy and flavorful sauce on it. The subz seekh was one of the best veg seekh kebabs that we’ve had, as it was full of flavor and was not dry at all. The soya chaap on the other hand, could have been softer.
The Junkyard Special Veg Burger had a nice and juicy mixed vegetable patty with crushed cashew nuts for texture, and was topped with cheese and balsamic onions. The burger was served with nice, crispy french fries.
We ended the meal with a Chocolate Walnut Brownie, which was nicely made, served warm with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate sauce.
The Marble Portable Cake had swirls of dark chocolate and vanilla cake, and was really fresh and moist. The Belgium Milk Chocolate Bar had crisp, neat edges and a creamy, rich mouth-feel. The Madeleine Can had vanilla and chocolate brownie flavored madeleines, which were spongy, buttery, and just adequately sweetened. The cute little jar of Chocolate Fondue Dipping Sauce had smooth, velvety dark chocolate fondue sauce which we simply loved.
We were happy with all the products, and the packaging, and will be ordering again soon.
The Banana Pancake had nice, fluffy and soft pancakes filled with chopped bananas, a little drizzle of Nutella, and sweetened with honey.
Overall, a nice place to order from to keep your pledge of eating healthy.
The Gurgaon outlet has been done up with the same elegance and finesse as the GK one, with minimalistic and classy décor. Since this place has the benefit of al fresco seating area, that just adds to the charm of the restaurant.
We started with two soups- Gazpacho Italiano and Vellutata di Asparagi Bianchi. The gazpacho was a chilled soup made from tomatoes, and was served in a clear glass cup, with a side of finely diced vegetables and bread croutons. The gazpacho, which was finished with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, was really flavorsome. The Vellutata di Asparagi Bianchi had a creamy, luscious white asparagus cream velouté, topped with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some pine nuts. The velvety texture and the delicate flavor of the soup were simply mind-blowing, making this a must0try dish.
After the starter and soups, we ordered three pastas, and making the decision of which pastas to go for was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do, since they all sound so amazing.
Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe is a classic dish, made with just three ingredients, so there is nothing to hide behind. This dish is all about the spaghetti, which in this case, was made so well and cooked perfectly al dente. It was set in a mild sauce of butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano and black ground pepper. This dish is proof of the fact that the simplest of things are always the best.
For the main course, we went with Agnello, which were essentially New Zealand Lamb Chops, grilled to perfection, and drizzled with a zingy pistachio lemon oil which imparted the lamb chops so much flavor. The chops were served with baked potatoes, grilled eggplant, tomatoes, and crispy shoe string potatoes.
The service was also exceptional throughout- the servers were very courteous without being overbearing, our plates were changed promptly, each dish was explained to us properly, and we were asked for feedback on all the dishes. Yes, the prices are steep, but the quality of the food and ingredients, the service, and the ambience totally justifies the high prices. The food here is so amazing- it is simple, rustic, and supremely delicious, and for food this good, anything less than a 5 on 5 will be unfair! Artusi is a place that should be bookmarked for repeated visits!
