coimbatore review #151
the veg edge in coimbatore.
one of the restaurants in coimbatore where vegetarians can make it for lunch/dinner.
excellent ambience and decor. the restaurant could accomodate around 100 or more people and hadgoodseating.
i wasnt satisfied with the service. the waiter who served us was prettygoodbut the rest of them were standing there staring and commenting about us which was a bit awkward. most of all, there weren't any tissues on the table. i would suggest they place tissues on every table rather than on a common table. i had to walk to get a tissue from a desk and guess what one of the waiters who watched me doing that, removed the tissues from there and put them in a cupboard and locked it. weird behaviour.
coming to the food part,
huge menu. very difficult to choose from.
they have everything from sandwiches to starters to sizzlers to main course and desserts.
i've heard about their famous channa batura from my friends in chennai.
my friend ordered batura and a paneer channa curry.
i ordered the set menu i.e. for 299/- they provide a soup, starter, chaat, batura, channa, gravy, biriyani, raitha, roasted papad, pepsi, dessert.
spring vegetable soup - well cooked with carrot, beans, cabbage.
onion rings - wasn't one of my favorites. but okish. onion lovers would definitely love it.
delhi papdi chaat- not the best they could provide but pretty okish. i'm sure they could make better.
bhatura- huge. it was very tasty and went well with the channa they gave me as well as the channa paneer my friend had ordered.
channa masala- well cooked chole/channa in thick gravy/curry with apt spices and seasoning.
paneer channa masala- paneer was very different. very soft and wasnt the usual paneer cubes from other restaurants. paneer was in irregular and scrapings-like. the curry in all was delicious.
gobi manjurian- quitegoodbut have had much better gobi manjurian several times at several places. the manjurian flavourin has to be improved.
cream centre biriyani- delicious and yummy. one of the signature dishes. perfect spicing and unique taste.
gulab jamun - who doesnt love jamun.. jamun in hot jeera was a great finisher for the meal.
i gotta say,
the food i ordered cost only 300 including tax.
but my friend who ordered just a batura 82/-and paneer channa curry 188/- had to pay more than me (incl of taxes).
this is quite ridiculous.
212 /- is too much for a sandwich dont u think?
nothing except the set menu is worth the price.
ambience 4.5/5
service 2.5/5
food 3.5/5
vfm 2.5/5
