5-Star Hotel's Fine Dining Restaurant Sets the Pace for Gastronomy in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD, INDIA--(Marketwired - Apr 26, 2016) - Enhancing the gastronomical landscape of Ahmedabad with juicy kebabs, rustic curries and the unique spices and flavours of northern India, menus at one of the city's exciting new restaurants are beckoning travellers and locals alike to the Courtyard Ahmedabad.

Bayleaf, the hotel's new dining delight, pushes the limits of gastronomic indulgence by delivering delicious fare typical of Marriott kitchens worldwide to make its mark in Awadhi cuisine and deliver an experience that comes from the core of the Indo-Gagnetic plains. Adding fresh offerings in non-vegetarian barbeque and smoky tandoor, Bayleaf goes beyond local standards in Ahmedabad to create inspirational dining and catering options.

Conveniently located in the heart of Ahmedabad, Bayleaf specialties traverse the North West Frontier province that gorges on signature Lehsuni Lobsters, Tandoori Raan and Awadhi Nalli Gosht. Also served are carefully prepared vegetarian dishes like the Bharwan Guchhi, Dahi-Pudiney Ke Kebab and Subz Galouti.

"With Bayleaf, Courtyard by Marriott in Ahmedabad has dished out another game changer," said Mr. Gaurav Apte, the hotel's general manager. "With this, we hope to satiate food cravings of a larger clientele."

"In a city that is largely associated with vegetarianism, our market research has sensed a growing demand for non-vegetarian food given the growing migrant workforce," added Apte. "Yet there is a demand-supply gap. This led us to expand our horizons where now, the hotel will stand for something for everybody. Bayleaf hopes to be top-of-the-mind among the expats at the hotel as well. We will build an aspirational destination, ideal to dine out with family or business partners."

"Oudh or Awadh, that still displays the dominance and command of the erstwhile Mughal era, upholds food that has witnessed equally overwhelming influences and speaks of a character and style very distinct," said Aniruddha Limaye, Executive Chef at the Courtyard Ahmedabad. "Balance of flavours, subtlety, fresh ground spices defines it. In fact, spices are used sensitively and chefs of Awadhi cuisine all have their own gharana, so to say."

The restaurant's formal dining experience is complemented by a new service style launched within Marriott Courtyard hotels. Courtyard Bhopal also offers Bayleaf fine dining, with the restaurant there in operation since August 2014. In Ahmedabad, the reservation only Bayleaf is supported by the Courtyard hotel's MoMo Café and Java+ for exceptional breakfast, lunch and dinner options in a casual atmosphere.
