Starters
Begin your meal with Hilal Grill's tempting selection of starters that showcase authentic flavors and textures. The Beef Samosa and Vegetable Samosa offer crispy pastry pockets filled with seasoned beef or vibrant vegetables, making them perfect for sharing. Don't miss Mantoo — delicate steamed beef dumplings topped with yogurt, meat sauce, and a hint of mint for a refreshing finish. Rounding out the starters are freshly baked breads: soft Naan Bread, aromatic Garlic Naan, and flaky Tandoori Paratha — ideal for scooping up curries and sauces.
Mains
Dive into hearty and aromatic main dishes that highlight the depth of South Asian and Afghani spices. Savor the iconic Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tikka Masala, both tender chicken dishes infused with bold spices and a rich tomato-based sauce. The Butter Chicken offers a creamy, buttery delight that melts in your mouth, while the Tandoori Chicken brings smoky, spiced flavors from the clay oven. For red meat lovers, the Beef Nihari and Goat Curry present slow-cooked, spice-laden stews that are deeply satisfying. Fragrant Biryani dishes such as Chicken Biryani and Goat Biryani combine savory marinated meats with basmati rice and a blend of spices for a festive centerpiece. For a lighter yet flavorful option, try the Chana Masala, featuring chickpeas simmered in a spiced tomato gravy. A standout dish is the Lamb Chops with Kabli Rice, offering tender lamb and subtly spiced rice that perfectly balances richness and flavor.
Desserts
Complete your dining experience with traditional South Asian sweets that offer a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The Halwa Poori combines a sweet, spiced semolina pudding with fluffy fried bread, creating a delightful contrast in texture and flavor. Alternatively, savor the creamy Phirni, a chilled rice pudding infused with fragrant spices and sweetened milk that refreshes the palate.
Drinks
Complement your meal with classic beverages that enhance the authentic dining experience. The Mango Lassi, a creamy and naturally sweet yogurt-based drink, provides a cooling counterpoint to spicy dishes. Soft drinks and water are also available to round out your selections.
