GUWAHATI
Global dishes have been given a local twist at Guwahati’s newest dining destination.
These include a range of Turkish kebabs with local lime and different kinds of chillies and herbs, many exclusive to the northeast, a tart that is a blend of Assamese flavours and French patisserie, and a spicy paneer bao with Indian spices and Chinese sauces.
Roohani, the restaurant launched on Thursday (September 5, 2024) by Nayanjyoti Saikia, the winner of MasterChef India Season 7, offers these “innovative glocal” dishes and more to “bring the flavours of the world” to the largest urban centre in the region.
Derived from two Sanskrit words, Roohani means “connected with the soul or essence”.
“Our objective is to create an unforgettable dining experience that not only delights the palate but also nourishes the soul, as our name suggests. Roohani promises to take foodies on a spiritual adventure, blending traditional flavours of India and beyond with modern twists,” Mr Saikia said.
He said that he curated the menu to showcase of the richness of local ingredients in popular and exotic dishes across the globe. The kaji nemu (Assam lemon) tart, for instance, features a buttery crust filled with a tangy and sweet filling balanced by coconut ice cream.
