‘Weekend Vibes’ with Welcomhotel Dwarka
Restrictions, lockdown, weekend curfews – we have seen it all over the last 15 months plus. Never in our wildest imagination had we thought that we would have to endure the consequences of a pandemic and with that the new normal of social distancing and heightened hygiene and safety measures.
Unwinding in these uncertain times is not easy, especially for the hospitality industry. But they adapted to the stringent new norms in a heartbeat for their valued customers. One of such in-city property is Welcomhotel Dwarka in New Delhi which has come up with an exciting offer, Weekend Vibes, during the weekend for the food lovers.
Weekend Vibes offers indigenous cuisines from the hotel’s finest three restaurants that create signature gourmet experiences. Customers can book a Saturday dinner buffet or a Sunday brunch at Welcomhotel Dwarka and indulge in a wide range of delicacies from all three restaurants: Kebabs & Kurries, Shanghai Club and Pavilion 75.
Gaurav Kumar Mathur, Executive Chef, Welcomhotel Dwarka, informs BW HOTELIER that the hotel started the buffet offer after lockdown was lifted and features specialties like Dal Bukhara, Koh-e-Awadh, Ghost Biryani, Shahi Tukda etc. “Every Saturday and Sunday, we do an extravagant buffet to invite and entice people to come over and dine-in with us. We have a lot of loyal customers, and we keep calling them through these exciting programmes,” shares Mathur.
With live music playing and food that is finger-licking and Instagram-able, the property aims to promote their brand through this new initiative. Mathur further sheds light on the buffet menu, he says, “It is not a regular one. We have specialties from our Chinese-oriental restaurant, Shanghai Club and the Indian specialty restaurant, Kebabs & Kurries. Every weekend, we build-up on the cuisine and number of dishes on the buffet.”
At present, the hotel offers 138 dishes on the buffet and as they progress every week, they aim to add more value for the guests to enjoy the food at Welcomhotel Dwarka.
Talking about customer response, the chef says, "So far so good. Guests are positive about coming in and dining with us. We have about four hotels in this area, and we want to create that vibe in the city that we are different. Since we have the expertise from ITC, why not showcase it?” The hotel has also tied-up with food delivery partners for its customers who want to enjoy the food in the cosy comforts of their homes.
