the place is a must visit for it's ambiance, the view of thebeach, the sea breeze makes it iconic. if you love having food by thebeachside this is a must visit.
the food is ok, nothing great but what you would expect from a hotel like park.
we have gone many times before, though we did stop visiting this place as the food would always end up being served cold because of the distance between kitchen and seating, which has now been rectified.
the problem here is very simple, as a vegetarian the andhra,chettinad and mughlai dishes are not a lot varying. the starters are a issue while ordering, a couple of more soups could do.
we had a tomato based and a mushroom based shorba which turned out well, it was not completely a shorba nor a soup, but did taste really good.
for starters we had a babycorn one, it was really well made considering that it was a signature dish of the place and a tandoori aalo which was prepared well, not overdone.
for mains we had a dal makhanwala(makhni), which had a good quantity of ghee in it, the dal tasted well, i am not a big fan off ghee in dal though my family did like it.
a andhra style kaju curry, which i had thought would have been in red gravy as i have had super awesome cashew curries in andhra but was not, the taste was ok the drumsticks did not really add the flavour to the dish.
the paneer butter masala was well made and the paneer was soft and not chewy.
most off the deserts were not available which was sad. the rasmalai was average and the rabri was bad especially with the pan topping made which ruined it.
all in all a good place to hangout by thebeachside, order a beer if you like to drink and enjoy the time
