bamboo bay - the park

went to this place recently with my friends. beachviewwas beautiful. service was good. we had best crab, biriyani and ice creams especially rose petal and popcorn gelato

this is probably the best restaurant in the city. its not necessarily a fine dining restaurant but the ambience,food and service is just amazing. the team members are very polite and despite the the fact it was mostly packed, the manager alloted a great seaviewtable for us(though we had to wait a lil coz it was full). services were absolutely top notch and we had a great experience. must visit for indian food lovers.

the place is a must visit for it's ambiance, theviewof the beach , the sea breeze makes it iconic. if you love having food by the beach side 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 the beach side, order a beer if you like to drink and enjoy the time

i just cannot believe the horrible service being meted out to us. we are staying in the park and this restaurant is kind of its flagship. it has the bestviewand you will be swayed by the ambience.
service is not existent. no one came to take order for the last 35 minutes till we went and pleased them to. they have showcased signatures cocktails. but as they were short staffed they refused to serve the same to us. just unbelievable.

there is no doubt that this place has one of the best outdoor sitting and an exceptional seaside view. the food here is equally luscious.

but what i found appalling here was the substandard service offered by their 24 x 7 confused staff. the staff is neither courteous nor active. they are lost in their own world and have absolutely no clue of the customer's requirements.

i had to wait for some 45 odd minutes just to catch a glimpse of their food menu and another 15 minutes after that before somebody could come and take the order.

had a terrible experience as far as the service is concerned. however, the ambience was amazing, theviewwas appealing and the food, as mentioned before, was very palatable.
