arista 24x7

so arista hotel is one amazing place situated near sunny enclave in greater mohali. from rooftop sitting to some beautiful interiors, this place has everything. i spent some quality time with my friends in their chilli & pepper restaurant.

they had this pind wali gali punjabifoodfestival going on and had a lavish buffet spread. i opted for their non veg buffet spread. i was welcomed with the traditional chaas and thandai. both were good and kinda enhanced my appetite. next up in starters, i tried their bhatti wala murgh, angara paneer tikka, dahi ke kebab, chicken tikka and mushroom tikka. amongst all the starters, i loved their bhatti wala murgh the most. it was superb in taste. the quality of ingredients used was also top notch.

next up, they had a live counter where i tried their golgappa and tikki chaat. the golgappa was perfect, the tikki chaat was lip smacking. full marks for both the dishes.

in mains, the buffet spread consisted of an array of items ranging from pindi chole, punjabi pakode wali kadhi, mutton dahi wala, chicken curry etc. all the dishes were well attempted especially mutton dahi wala. it was really tender and melt in your mouth kind of a dish. really worked well with missi roti.

in desserts, i had their mango kulfi faluda and beetroot ka halwa. the mango kulfi was spot on. it had real mango pieces added to it which worked really well with the faluda. beetroot halwa was also really good. had a little extra ghee to it but tastewise, it is a must try.

overall, i am really impressed with thefoodas well as the service of the outlet. really happy with the way new places like arista hotel are making up their way in greater mohali. keep it up! :)

the beautiful hotel arista has come up with a delicious affair, the pind diyan galiyan punjabifoodfestival.

i recently visited the restaurant as they had a special tasting session for thefoodbloggers. the place is really pretty and inviting.

we started out with the starters. the paneer angara tikka was well coated and roasted and the mushroom tikka too was rich and tasty. the veg dimsums though were extremely delicious and i ended up enjoying them the most. then the dahi ke kebab were very crunchy and delectable.

they have a separate live counter just for the snacks like golgappe, papdi chaat and tikki chaat as well as pao bhaji. almost everything was good with the papdi chaat being the best.

i did not really try the soup so can’t comment on that.

in the buffet main course there was a creamy pasta which was surprisingly delicious and a thai veg curry that had the thai flavor right though the veggies in it were not authentic to thai gravies. nevertheless, the flavor being perfect, i enjoyed it quite a lot.

suneheri zulfein or singapori noodles were okay and not too fancy. in indian veggies almost everything was good and quite yum.

for dessert i had kulfi falooda. they had mango kulfi with tiny pieces of mango in it. it was just amazing.

overall the place has goodfoodand lovely ambiance. wonderful option to enjoy a hearty meal with family and friends.

had a movie plan with friends post a long working day and wanted to enjoy an elaborated buffet meal prior to that. chilli and pepper restaurant at arista hotel, sunny enclave excited us pretty well. the day when we visited the restaurant, it had "pind di galliyan" festival ongoing. what else would we need to binge eat some scrumptious desi pakwaan and hibernate for few hours at the movie hall.
as we entered, the decor was conceptualized basis the ongoingfoodfestival, inspired by pinds of punjab. there werefoodcarts at one side which had live counters serving chaats, gol gappas, pav bhaji and everything else to give the vibes from streets of any punjabi pind. on the other side of the restaurant we could see the elaborated main course buffet set for us to relish.
we started with a table full of starters including paneer angara tikka, dimsums & momos, tandoori chicken, dahi ke kebab. each one of the starter was prepared so very well that i somehow felt of skipping the main course over the starting dishes. moved on to the main course part we found there were various salads, soups to begin with. followed by kadhi pakoda, chole kulche, motiya palak, mushroom mutter, mutton biryani and what not.

undoubtedly, tasted each of their preparation and enjoyed thefoodfest thoroughly.  the dishes were made keeping the authentic pind da swaad in their minds, gives me no chance on judging their superiority and magic on authentic regional cuisine. the best part of the main course menu was that it was kept simple yet so exotic. dishes like kadhi pakora, dahi wala ghost, mutton biryani served with missi roti, fresh phulkas gave us an upteem pind sorta experience.
do try the restaurant for indulging into such authentic, desi flavors.  chilli and pepper comes in as an exciting option for people in and around kharar, mohali region. arista hotel is one fine property to look upto for family dinners, stay. their rooftop bar and restaurant - jashn looks promising too.

this restaurant offers amazingfoodwith amazing taste.
the breads are nicely cooked
the sweets are amazingly good.

must try their rasmalai.

very poor restaurant,the service during this pandemic is the worst,which creates a lot of trouble for us,just too high rates,but giving thefoodtoo poorer unlike street vendors,very poor.

too salty yar, i couldn’t even eat thefood.. too much salt .. terrible

the restaurant 'chilli and pepper' at hotel arista, is situated near the vr punjab mall, and at the end of the 200 ft wide airport road. the restaurant has recently come up with its all day buffet, with theirfoodfestival 'pind wali gali' serving street food, alongwith a wide variety of snacks and a lavish spread. being theri first attempt towards a buffet setup, i feel that my overall experience was pretty satisfying. 

in starters, i tried: 
dahi kebabs: i started with the soft crispy dahi kebabs, one of the best starters on the menu. 
paneer tikka: one of the usual paneer tikkas, with huge marinated tandoor-ed paneer served with grilled capsicum, onion and mint sauce.
mushroom tikka: decent oil-free, mushroom tikka garnished with chopped capsisum and onion rings.

street food:
i tried their golgappas served with 3 different varieties of flavoured water- hing, meetha and jal jeera.
their chaat papri was delicious, served with different types of namkeems, and papri topped with tamarind sauce, mint sauce and curd. the aloo tikki, was soft but lacked the crispness.  the pav bhaji, was decent, but could have been improved with the pav bhaji masalas.

the buffet laid out was lavish, with 2 types of soup, about 5-6 types of salads, about 8-10 types of main course dishes and 2 desserts. amongst these, i liked their thai green curry served with steamed rice. the aroma of the thai curry, full of exotic veggies made it a must try dish. their creamy pasta is worth highlighting, made fresh unlike other buffets in the tricity.

the service could be improved considering the requests for breads took a while. 
in all, though they were some shortcomings, but considering their first attempt in serving buffet meals, i believe that with their experienced staff and chef, they should overcome these initial teething problems. 

certainly, worth a try!

arista hotel is one of the grand hotel saturated near by sunny enclave. i was there in last weekend to attend a festival named with ‘pind diyaa galliyan ‘ . it was great pleasure to be there . it was really amzaing place with a big dining hall and amazing rooftop.so start with this.

starter: in starer they serve ‘dahi ke kabab’ , ‘paneer tikka ‘ , ‘veg momos’ , ‘lassi’. i really loved thier dahi ke kabab . itwas amazing in taste and so crunchy from outside and soft from inside.

after starter we attend thier festival where they serve pani puri, chaat papdi , tikki and pav bhaji. i really love thier chaat which is very hygenic and well presented.

in last we had a dinner . it was full of punjabifood. they serve motiya palak , khata mitha paneer ,subz e bahar, jeera daniya pulao, thai veg curry, rogan -e-gulmarg and many more . i love there khata meetha paneer and daniya pulao,curry remind me taste of chulha curry

desert- in desert we had mango falooda kulfi and beetroot halwa . kulfi was amazing it give me texture of mango as well and looks perfect with khoya. beet root halwa is too oily but taste wise amazing.

overall it was great to be there and service is quite amazing .!!

arista hotel located in sunny enclave is the place for any1 living near kharar but wait y only kharar people , even in mohali such a hotel to give competition to arista isn't there . it has all the amenities of a 3-4 star property . this wasn't my 1st visit to the hotel , had attended about 2-3 functions in the banquet hall of the place and enjoyed dinner at their top floor lounge 'jashan' . this time we decided to give their buffet option a try . the buffet is layed at chiili and pepper located at the ground floor of the property .

we reached by 7:30 p.m and that day afoodfestival was going on "pind di galliyan " . thus the place was decorated according to the theme , the menu was also constructed well with the decor and theme .

starters –

paneer angara tikka , veg dimsum , mushroom tikka , chicken momos , punjabi murg tikka , bhati ka kukad .

in the veg section paneer tikka and mushroom tikka were outstanding , we also asked for some dahi ke kabab as that’s 1 of the best dahi ke kabab i ever had and they served us with a smile .

non-veg starter – punjabi murg tikka and bhati ka kukad was really yummy , fresh chicken tender , marinated done right and finished in the tandoor . chicken momos were surprisingly good , now moms are something that’s really found at very nukkad . so it had to be their .

arista shooters- to accompany the starters was masala chach and thandai . as the degree is rising outside these two are a blessing . if i had to pick 1 thandai ne thandh pati

live counter –

on 1 side they had set u all the live counters serving , pav bhaji , tikki chat , papadi chat , chinese chat , puchkas (golgappa ).

so here our take was the pav bhaji , papadi chat and golgappa served with 3 different flavored water .

soups – tomato dhaniya ka shorba

creamy murg shorba .

salad – three chilly potato salad , curd cucumber salad , russian salad , tomato slice , onion rings , sliced carrot , sliced cucumber , radish stick , assorted lettuce , pineapple raita , pickle papad .

nice range na , but my pick was the russian salad everyon’s fav and onion rings that goes with every indian meal .

main buffet –

pasta in creamy sauce – really good but not authentic .

thai veg curry – thai green curry 1 of my fav , loved it .

sunahari julfe (singapuri noodle) – every kids fav

khata meetha paneer – really enjoyed it with missi roti .

motiya palak – palak with sweet corn

chole kulche

subz-e-bahar  
muhroom mater hara pyaz

dal dhaba style – perfectly cooked had that homely fav to it

rogan-e-gulmurg

mutton biryani

jeera dhaniya paulo

punjabi kadhi pakora 
assorted indian breads

desserts – kulfi falooda

beet root halwa

after being stuffed with the mains , sadly had very little space for the deeset . the mango flavoured kulfi was a hit and even the beetroot halwa was a sensation

over and all it was a really good value for money package , service was really good , prompt , the servers were well briefed about the menu .

this place is really beautiful and great for intimate family dinners. this place has soft lighting and peaceful music, it has a pleasant and soothing ambience. the things that i would recomment here are bhatti ka kukad, and dahi kebabs in the appetizers. these two things have my heart. they were really delectable. *dahi kebabs were so oerfectly crispy from the outside and the inside filling was oh-so-creamy and soft.*

at the pinddiyan galliyanfoodfestival, you can have the most amazing streetfood feels at this lavish restaurant. their pav bhaji, puckas (golgappas) and chat papdi was so amazingly delicious, that i couldn’t just stop at one plate.

coming to the mains.
motiya palak was an amazing creamy palak with sweet babycorns giving this dish the perfect taste.
chole kulche is an essential at every amritsarifoodfestival, so how could have i missed this one.
dahi wala gosht and dal dhaba style with their jeera dhaniya pulav and butter naans was something that i relished the most.

in dessert, their mango kulfi and beetroot halwa is something you cannot afford to miss, specially the halwa cooked in desi ghee with lots of khoya

tastelessfoodn packing was not good both things

they don't even bother to packfoodproperly..food messed up

thefoodis so oily not expected this thing from arista hotel

the quality of thefoodwas good but the need to work on the packaging of the order it was looking like i have orderedfoodfrom some cheap restaurant
