Mukka launches new cocktail menu
/Mukka has recently launched an enticing new range of cocktails to match its wonderful Indian cuisine.
One of our favourite Indian restaurants in Melbourne, Mukka delivers Indian cuisine like you have never tasted before by treating guests to authentic Indian cuisine just the way it’s done in India.
We loved sampling our way through the new cocktails which include the Chai-tini, Rosey the Heartbreaker, Mumbai Monsoon and an Indian Summer cocktail jug.
Our favourite cocktail was the Mumbai Monsoon. A wonderful Indian twist on the Dark and Stormy, the cocktail is made from Old Monk Indian rum, fiery ginger syrup, ginger beer and just the perfect touch of lime.
If you love the flavour of rose syrup, do not go past Rosey the Heartbreaker - It is a romance filled cocktail that is aromatic courtesy of being made with rose syrup and garnished with dried rose petals. A good dose of tequila and fresh mint provide balance.
The food was, as expected from our previous visit, high quality and freshly cooked with love and care. We loved that everything is made in-house. From the smoked and ground spices, freshly made chutneys, delicate naan breads to the soothing lassis.
To start the Tibetan momos were impressive. Boasting beautifully silky skins, the dumplings were filled with finely chopped cabbage and potato and served with a chilli sauce. We loved the beautiful flavour.
For mains we loved the Aloo Baingan - a captivating combination of supple melt-in-your-mouth eggplant and potatoes cooked together with tomatoes, cumin and warm spices. A great pair with the fluffy naan and beady basmati rice.
For dessert the Bombay falooda kulfi will end your visit on a wonderfully sweet note. Think luxurious pistachio kulfi, within rose syrup, falooda and tapioca pearls. YUM!
