At Welcomcafe Oceanic, the Ramzan menu is a thoughtful mix of flavours and spices. The hotel has curated a variety of choices available in the form of takeaway and dine-in options for lunch and dinner.

The hotel’s executive chef Sarafath Khan has dished out slow-cooked Hyderabadi haleem, Hyderabadi paya nihari cooked with lamb shanks in flavourful onion curry served with baked khamiri naan, sheer kurma and sevaiyyon ka muzzaffar which is vermicelli fried in ghee and garnished with nuts and sugar syrup.

There are takeaway combo offers in vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. If you are dining in, start with a bowl of haleem, creamy and slow-cooked to perfection and then move on to the flavourful paya nihar with khamiri naan. You can also try the delightful Hyderabadi gosht (mutton) biryani or curate your own Iftar menu with bowls of phirni and badami subz qorma, a vegetarian dish with cottage cheese and seasonal vegetables.

The Ramadan platter launched this year at Fusion Foods is a wholesome treat. The platter includes special chicken biryani, mutton paya with bun, sheer kurma, mutton haleem, a bowl of dry fruits and fresh fruits and a refreshing glass of rose-red Rooh Afza.

The haleem here is a highlight with a delightful blend of meat, spices, and deeply caremelised onions. If you are dining in and would like to keep the meal light, the mutton paya with bun is a must-try and can be ordered separately as well.
