dinner with friends
27 november 2021 - saturday
3 of us, reached around 4.00 pm - we did not have any reservations, but we were seated promptly.
we had 1 vegetarian friend in our group.
an impressive setting from the start, amazing ambience interiors, set in classyindianmaharaja style! but we’re all about the food!
our order was:
jalebi chaat
rajma chawal aranchini
kheema ghotala
matka mutton curry
murgh makhan masala
subz haleem
navratan pulav
bird nest
coconut delight
tandoori rotis
chocolate mousse
black tea
starters - jalebi chaat and the rajma chawal aranchini, great to start off, but the hero starter was the kheema ghotala – an easy 10/10
mains - our vegetarian friend subz haleem, which was served with a variety of spices and was wonderfully put together. the mutton masala and the navratan pulao were delicious and went very well alongside each other.
the hero for me was the murgh makhan masala, served uniquely in 2 halves, which come together in a supreme explosion of taste. i could have had one entire serving just by myself. highly recommend, and a 10/10
our drinks were - the birds nest and the coconut delight, both amazingly presented - a treat for the eyes as well.
i would also like to make a comment on the presentation of each dish, even though i am all about taste, a well-presented dish is a treat for the eyes and is a good sign of things to come!
for dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse - and it's sufficient to say that no patron should leave the restaurant without a taste of this treat. the chef has kept it simple and real, a rare occurrence in restaurants these days, and a no-nonsense dessert at the end of a good meal seals the deal - an easy 10/10
finally, a cup of wonderful black tea with mint, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening.
also, here i would like to mention the manager, mr swapnil, and our servers, suyog and surinder, who were great with their recommendations, friendliness and upbeat attitude. they kept good pace with the serving, got our orders customized, and were attentive to our table all evening.
it’s such a personal pleasure to have someone take care of our experience with the food, by being enthusiastic about the suggestions and taking the time to patiently explain what would go with what. they truly made the experience memorable with their friendly attitude and regular checkups.
the food was extremely delicious, and we were served within a reasonable waiting time.
all in all, a great experience. i would recommend this place 100%
my scorecard:
food quality: 10/10
food variety: 10/10
service: 10/10
atmosphere: 10/10
value for money: 10/10
would go back 10/10 – to try out 2 more of the menu specials – some of the tawa items and maybe a few of the drinks?
