The Odia Satvick dishes, uses generous amount ginger, hing (asafoetida), moong and coconuts. These ingredients are the reason behind the much-loved Odia food and its signature taste. Guest was welcomed with a glass of mango lassi. For starter (soup), they had traditional dahi kanji which showed how devoted Chef Swain and Chef Mathura were to present the crowd with authentic Odia food. Focusing on a purely vegetarian menu and Satvik food is a challenge. But since Empires was the only one hosting such a Satvik buffet, it was well accepted by the people. The menu was elaborate and people were presented with a variety of dishes. For starter – Nadia pachudi- sweet and sour coconut and curd based chutney topped with pomegranate seeds to add crunch. For the main course: Kanika, Odia rice, Sada ghanta,Mooga Dali, Chhena Aloo Tarkari, Dahi Baigana, Saga Muga Nadia, Kabuli Chana Potala, Kakera, Home style Paratha
