citrus café - lemon tree hotel

great food and great hospitality. loved the ambience and the vibes. will definitely come here again. and zomato gold did come in handy. do try the chef’s special dessert. it was amazing ( picture - dessert in the glass )

venue wise good place around saravanampatti. well maintained. buffet only in the evenings. alacarte sucks big time. biryani had so many spices that it was not worth it. unexpected from a place that has so many good reviews. service is way too slow, took almost 25 min to receive just 2 orders. went with lot of expectations but greatly disappointed. not worth the buck you spend. better avoid ala carte. overall

ambience - 3/5
taste - 1/5
service - 1/5
price - 1/5 bit expensive for the taste and service they offer.
quantity - 2/5, more than enough for one person.

valet parking available.

will i visit again - no.

service:the service was perfect.,, and the people there was sweet and ready to serve all time
food: pizza was outstanding.,then the briyani was good. raitha which accompanied was outstanding
ambience: the outdoor grass ambience which was set aside of the restaurant was the highlight
totally the restaurant was outstanding

the best part about this restaurant is that it’s open 24/7. i landed in coimbatore by a night flight and i had to leave again in a fee hours. the only decent place we could find at that time was this cafe at lemon tree. we were so relieved to know that it was open throughout the night. the staff was very welcoming and they let us make ourselves comfortable. everything from the menu was obviously not available at that time but they gave us many good options and we all had a good meal.
they also let us wait at their reception for few hours till our car arrived.
what we had :
fish and chips
chicken biryani
fresh lime

all the above were up to the mark even though they had to serve us in the middle of the night. really commendable job and a very tasty meal

very good ambiance. a hidden gem of coimbatore. if you are looking for a place to relax and have a good food,lemon tree will not disappoint you.

an extra rating for the services which i have been offered to. the staff was really good and humble. ‘always ready to help with a smile’. it’s been a great visit of 2 weeks here. i couldn’t think of dinner and breakfast other than this place in coimbatore. the north indian and fish fry were the awesome. and the daily special dishes by the chef are worth trying for.
overall citrus café was good to go.

one of the latest places in coimbatore, decided to go for a family dinner.
the place and ambience:
it's situated well off from the buzzing city crowd. but it's in a well developing area of kalapatti where it's surrounded by many it parks and industries.
the hotel is well maintained. but we initially had a problem with the parking and had to wait for 5 minutes to enter as no valet came to our attendance. the ambience was something very pleasant and we got comfy feel.
the food:
we were confused at the large menu as to what is their special and what would they recommend. so after much discussion, the food for 3 of us goes like,
1) starters:
for starters we ordered a half tandoori murg in chicken which was really flavorful and well done, no undercooked pieces and we loved it.
next was gounder style milagu perathal- mutton. this we asked it to be a bit less spicy and it was done in well south indian flavours, felt it could have tasted better as it had lot of coconut in it which stole the taste away.
2) main course:
i personally went for indo-chinese cuisine. i ordered the kung pao style chicken and egg and chicken hakka noodles. it was a good dish and nothing could go wrong there as it's one of the traditional dishes of every chinese restaurants. i liked it.
parents ordered the varuthu aracha chettinad curry- mutton and some naan bread to go with it. this one was a let down. it is said the curry was made from 26 spices, but it felt way over the top as we couldn't really get the exact flavors out of it. we are yet confused on how it tasted. it didn't go really well. but the meat was cooked to perfection. i would think to order that again
the staff:
the staff was one of the plus point on the experience. extremely courteous, we'll mannered and professionally kept place. we were all happy about their behavior. good job.
conclusion:
it's one of the places that will be open 24×7 and they have a good dine line. would definitely recommend this place. it's worth the try, if you are willing to travel the distance for food.
ps: excuse the picture quality and tidiness. we were served as soon as the food arrived and no time to take and pictures.

hello everyone

i am happy to have a lemon tree in coimbatore which by the way is my favourite hotel to stay wherever i travel in india.

before talking about the food i must talk about the chefs in citrus cafe. you may not see such happy to serve you chef anywhere in any other hotel in india. they dont only serve you food but always welcome opinions and remember your taste the next time you visit them. special names to be mentioned ... chef suresh, chef quraishi and chef nagaraja.

now for the food.... if you are craving for some authentic north indian or for some finger licking sandwiches or continental salads lemon tree citrus cafe is your destination. i never tasted the south indian food in citrus cafe but heard from friends that its really authentic. the ambience of the restaurant is very posh.

the food we generally order is

mutton roganjosh -5 / 5 ( thanks to mr qureshi )
mutton biriyani. - 5/5
chicken tikka butter masala -- 5 / 5 ( special to mr suresh )
kashmiri aloo -- 5/5
vegetable mix curry -- 5/ 5

standard lemon tree club sandwich -- 5/ 5
chicken salad -- 5/5 ( thanks to mr nagaraja)

thanks to the chefs and the servers who are not only friendly but feels like home now. thanks a lot for so many lovely meals !!!

stayed in this place last month for celebrating our wedding anniversary. had a good stay, uber luxury, sophisticated hotel, high-tech safety services, very good ambiance, in all good service. the hotel where its located is open, away from pollution, if you side aside the pool for sometime, you can hear peacock's singing, open fresh air, mild rain which i enjoyed as i am from a crowded and polluted city (mumbai).

we had dinner which was pretty good, but over priced for a location like coimbatore

as we are south indians, ordered mostly the south indian cuisine,

for starter
gounder style milagu perathal-chicken     5/5
guntur vepudu-chicken                             5/5
rawa fried fish                                           2/5

i was disappointed with the 3rd dish as the fish they used was cheap. (i mean fish is good, but the cheapest fish in the market, for which we paid high price for it)

for main course:-

pallipallayam kozhumbu-chicken                     4/5
varatha archa  chettinadu curry-chicken         4/5
dal fry                                                               5/5
steam rice                                                         5/5 

the above chicken gravies sounds very south indianish, but they had some north indian flavors. the chettinadu curry was not having the pure chettinadu flavors. but still they were good.

in all enjoyed my stay there and would happily recommend everyone to have a stay, when you are around coimbatore

went for a team dinner... the buffet , ambience and service was excellent.. the buffet spread could have been better..but it's certainly not a deal breaker... much better than taj vivanta or radisson blu..
