Despite the large number of Indian restaurants in the Kingdom, Lanterns is one brand that stands out and attracts a clientele as varied as the options on the menu. The 28-year-old franchise, has five successful properties in Bahrain at Budaiya, Adliya, Durrat Al Bahrain, Riffa and Juffair. The award-winning restaurant boasts striking interiors, based on an age-old traditional north Indian set-up, and a casual atmosphere that reflects the myriad colours of India, making it an exotic and interesting place to dine. India’s cultural and culinary diversity is no secret and is well reflected in Lanterns’ menu. It offers flavours that pay tribute to ancient and modern influences of Asian, Portuguese and modern English culture combined with Indian recipes representing the eating habits of Indians in today’s society. The Lanterns Maharaja Feast buffet has been a hit with diners since 1987. Some of the house specialties include chicken makhani, the Moghul dish of boneless tandoori chicken finished in a tomato-butter sauce. Another stellar creation is mutton roganjosh, a Kashmiri-style spiced mutton curry. And the tandoori grills are famous coming straight from the charcoal grill oven.
