Wine, Dine and Dance: Heera Panna

Hidden opposite NASA, church street, is Heera Panna. One is welcomed by a gaudy décor, trying to resemble the Shah-Jehan era, green and white drapes all around, ornamental lights, people dressed in ethnic Mughal-wear. If you're impressed, then you're impressed (how profound). Ancient Hindi music plays in the back ground. So ancient, you'd think the dodos flew and mammoths walked the earth. I can report about the buffet. It takes quite a while to appear and when it does, its a huge rush of starters. The buffet lunch has a decent spread – spreads from Mughal-country or spreads just named that way. You wonder a lot about the spreads after this over priced meal. The surroundings change color due to varying color lamps. If its beautiful, then its beautiful. Heera Panna also boasts a drinks menu. Heera Panna is an interesting attempt to revoke a certain style, be it the décor or the food. One must try it if one misses watching Mughal-e-azam, or that genre of movies and badly wants to see them in color.
