Tasallibaqsh -Real taste of Royalty I went there with my husband last Thursday and believe me it was the most Savory dinner we have ever had. Here go my review on Thursday menu:- We started with "Salad of the day" which was just the perfect balance of veggies picked fresh from the fields to your plate. (this was a chicken salad with rocket leaves) Then we were served with "mushroom and cheese crostini”, a meatless masterpiece!! "TBQ cheese plate" had three kinds of cheese: aged goat cheese, yak cheese and the third which I don’t remember well. Pure umami and the Pickled Gherkins & thin sliced lotus stems were just perfect to switch between the cheese. "Seared Indian Salmon with white wine Glaze" it was awfully delicious and TBQ seared it to perfection. My favorite from that night was "duck breast with potatoes & Red wine sauce”. A very soft and chewy red meat served with baby potatoes prepared to perfection along with red wine sauce which left me licking the plate clean. Last in the food-section we were served "Pasta in Fresh Basil Pesto with truffled Grana Shavings". A-common-dish-done-uncommonly-well. With all the food and truck loads of real flavor, to our delight was a musk melon ice cream for dessert waiting to be devoured. TBQ’s idea of food and conversations cooked real slow is just perfect for all food lovers out there.

Hi. I still haven't visited Tasallibaqsh but I did attend Shivendra's workshop on "smoking meats." It was superlative to say the least. He shared very interesting bits of information and traced the journey of "meats" from the time of the neanderthals to the modern-day man. Afterwards, the spread that he had laid out for us was nothing short of extraordinary. From the juicy smoked chicken and bell pepper salads, the smoked fish and chicken chunks, the yak cheese and smoked chicken mini-sandwiches, the delicate smoked fish curry with Sikkimese dalle chilli teamed with indigenous rice to the lemony smoked fish - everything was different to taste and delicious. I am waiting for an occasion to go to TBQ and savour Shivendra's culinary skills once again. Bravo! And keep going.
