HELLO MY LOVELIES.....
WO! This year’s winters seem to
have come with a vengeance.
When
was the last time you remember that we saw such thick fog in the first week of
December itself? Brace up for some strong winters for sure.
We
are back again with one of our most loved and read features, #BreakfastTrails. And this time, we
decided to talk about a Breakfast venue that is filled with royalty and
regality of the bygone era, amidst the hustle bustle of modern life.
Lebua,
one of the best known names for luxury hotels in South Asia, has recently
opened its luxury boutique heritage hotel in Lucknow. The property is a
refurbished erstwhile haveli, Saraca
Estate, which is situated in politically prominent area of Mall Avenue. It
boasts of awesome rooms, lush green lawns, architecture that dates back to the
1900s and an ambiance which takes you back in time.
The
property has an awesome fine dining restaurant, Azrak. The name comes
from the Arabic word for Blue or indigo, traditionally a colour denoted for
royalty. And the name perfectly suits the restaurant which is a beautiful area
with blue floors, well lit interiors (the windows filter in a lot of natural
light) and simple, yet classy furniture.
Azrak is an all day dining option which has two seating areas, interior and exterior.
While the interiors have a warm and cosy feeling with its blue and white
interior, the outside area is simply perfect for winters, overseeing the lush
greens of the property and recreating a European eatery style.
Presenting
the latest edition of Breakfast Trails

Now over to the food. Azrak has a food spread which is a mix of Awadhi, Rajputana and Nizami cuisine, flavoured ably with Pan Asian cuisine as well. For breakfast too, the restaurant offers a heady mix. From a buffet to ala carte menu, everything looks delectable. The menu has an amazing spread indeed. The Breakfast specialties include Baker’s Basket, Cold cut mélange, choice of eggs from sunny side up to over easy, scrambled, poached and omelets, French toast, English Waffle, Truffle Scramble, Lebua Cheese Platter and Buttermilk pancake. For the Indian lovers, it offers Idli, Dosa, Upma, Uttapam, Parantha and Poori Bhaji.
From
such a diverse menu, we decided to order lightly as we wanted to have a light
but filling breakfast. And here is what we chose, with our views on it...
Indian Tea
: Now this is a classic and any tea lover’s delight. Simple Indian Tea, yet
perfect.

Spanish Omelet served with grilled
tomatoes & brown potato hash brown : My bestie wanted
this. You all know that he is an egg lover. The egg white omelet was light and
fluffy, low on salt and perfect on flavour. The accompaniments were well cooked
too.
Freshly brewed coffee : I have to start with coffee. Afterall, with winters in full swing, who wants to miss the coffee.

Fresh Fruit Juice :
This was indeed quite refreshing. Those who love juices in their breakfast will
love it.
General Manager of the property, Kunal Baveja is a man who loves to see his guests loving their meal at Azrak. “We are offering Huge Breakfast Buffet with Juices, Cereals and Fresh Fruits to start with accompanied with some flavoured yogurts, Lassi , Butter Milk & Cold Coffee or Flavoured Shakes. Further we have variety of Hot buffet options from Idli / Vadas to Parathas / Chole Bhature or Puri Bhaji and a great variety of Continental Breakfast like Baked Beans, Sausages, Rosemary Potatoes etc. Our chefs, headed by our Chef de partie Supratim Ghatak, will also entice you with egg preparations if it’s a sunny side up or cheese Omelettes or a classic preparation of Egg benedict. Our chefs can do it all. To top up, it will be great to close with our freshly brewed coffee or range of Tea,” he said in a conversation over coffee...

While the buffet is priced at INR 650 plus taxes, the Ala carte breakfast for two can cost around INR 2000.
This
is a perfect place to enjoy a breakfast especially in winters, whether it is
sunny or foggy as the ambiance has real old world charm to it. Check the clicks of the porch area and the front of the hotel's main building which leads to Azrak.
