the 3ds - drinks, dance & dishes !!!!!
that's the title which i can resonate with adda. if you want a bit of everything i.e. foot tapping music, varied soft & hard beverages & sumptuous food, without a shadow of doubt, just walk in at adda, as it's the perfect combo for your weekend hangout hub.
located at derabassi. its situated bang on the ambala chandigarh highway in a complex, which also accomodates other food joints as well, including nik bakers, subway, haldirams etc.
ambience is superb. the wooden interiors & overall decor has been undertaken extremely thoughtfully & with a flair. you will surely fall in love with the whole space.
the dj music was peppy with a mix & match of bollywood old & new songs, english pop music & even punjabi songs. the base was damn good. as the night crawls towards a more darker shade, you will find the enterprising one's turning the restaurant into a dance floor, without hindering others' privacy. the whole atmosphere was full of josh & found families & friends enjoying themselves to the core.
they serve varied choices of beverages, both soft & hard. be it your clean hard drinks, mocktails, cocktails..... they have it all. infact, their usp is the draught beer which comes in 4-5 different flavours. the best part is they make you taste all the flavours prior to taking your order, which is complimentary. really liked this peculiar style.
i tried the following in drinks & food :-
- cinnamon draught beer - a mug of this costs approx rs 330/-.nicesubtle flavour. roll your tongue in the beer, & you would certainly taste the mild flavour of cinnamon. highly recommended.
- galauti kebab : for heavens sake, please don't expect it to be the typical galauti kebabs which you get in lucknow, as you will be dissapointed. however, this one too is worth.niceflavour there. quality of mutton used was good. served with a cub shaped papad, caramelized onions & a med spicy mayo kind of sauce. the presentation is indeed impressive.
- chilli garlic fish : fish was tender. lots of veggies including spring onions, capsicum etc. it could have been a bit more flavourful. the sauces used were very mild. not spicy at all. just about average in taste.
- chicken malai tikka : simply awesome. my best pick amongst the three dishes that i ordered. marination was just perfect. chicken was super tender. immensely flavourful. served in the same format as galauti kebab. highly recommended.
the service was very prompt. mr pankaj served us. found him very warm & congenial. very energetic. really liked his conduct. he is worth praising indeed.
so, if you desire good food, peppy music & drinks galore under a single roof, adda is the place for you. strongly recommended.
only issue was that music was too loud. so communicating with the person on the other side of the table is pretty challenging. be an early bird on weekends, else you might have to wait for considerable amount of time.
hope the review helps !!!!!
