i am from ahmedabad and being at a good restaurant in chennai was something that i was craving for from long.
basically, we were a bunch of 6 who wanted to spend some good time while enjoying a few drinks.
as i came to know women are not welcomed here at local bars, i had to find a spot where this discrimination wasn’t there.
i identified two nearby hotels from marina beach where i could utilise my zomato gold membership.
hotel savera was the second in the list but the polite behaviour of the call attendant make me choose this one.
on reaching there, we came to know they had a cover charge policy for the evening as some band was going to perform. i had no objection paying the cover charge of rs. 750 per person but was unsure of the repayment option they suggested. on asking about the redemption, they allowed us without the cover charge and it was by surprise a good gesture by them.
we were having 2 zomato golds and decided to use them both on the 2+2 drinks.
we ordered 4 beers (kingfisher blue 325 ml) and other 4 hot drinks including 2 pegs of chivas regal (scotch) and 2 pegs of ballantine’s (blended whiskey scotch), 30 ml each.
the hotel staff was quick, clean and attentive! they politely responded to each requests of ours and cleared a few confusions regarding the gold privileges.
we ordered 2 plates of french fries, 2 plates of potato wedges, and a plate of chicken tikkas as the side dishes. every food item that we ordered was pretty amazing and up to the mark. the non-vegetarian friend even exclaimed over the chicken tikkas being super juicy and tender.
however, the performance of the band never happened that we were told about while entering. we were anyway indifferent about it because we were enjoying a really good time of our evening with a beautiful ambiance and feels. we all were happy high and spent some great quality moments at hotel savera!
i would love to go back to try their desserts some day.
