#vegetarian review
awaiting a well timed opportunity to treat my parents to a lunch at a star hotel, i ended up booking a table here after considering so many other fine dining options.
🚗 valet service was pretty punctual and we were greeted by the staff who guided us to our table.
🪑i had some special request for seating and they obliged. 💚 the seating was comfortable and nothing i can complain with soothing music 🎶 that didn't interrupt our conversations.
🧴 we don't usually get bottles water as star hotels serve good water usually. but they really did take a lot of time and were unbothered to refill. 👎
📖the menu is pretty elaborate with something for everyone. desi dishes with a global twist is the new hit 🎯
🍲 soup : indian halloween 🎃 - roasted pumpkin soup cooked with milk, cream & saffron was really rich and flavorful. we wish it was a tad bit thicker though.
🍥 momos platter : 6 momos w/ 3 different fillings and my family enjoyed it 😄
👨🍳 live chaat : 6 pani puris & a tableside live chat prep which isn't very common so we kinda enjoyed the show. the dish was pretty cold from the liquid nitrogen blocking most of the taste.
🍞 breads : we asked for lachcha paratha & hyderabadi sheermal. parantha not quite best. sheermal was delicious 😋
🥘 gravy : dal makhni was delicious but was hardly enough for 2 people. would appreciate if they improved the quantity.
🥘 paneer tikka masala had a strong tinge of sweetness but otherwise the gravy was amazing.
🍫 desserts : the list of desserts seemed really very familiar yet unfamiliar as it was a fusion cuisine.
❣️ saving the best for the last ❣️
⭐ creme brulée with pistachio rose biscotti• blow torched live. tasted very rich and with subtle sweetness, was absolutely fine.
tender coconut 🥥 pudding 🍮 : i'd say it's the best dessert on their menu among the 3 we tried.
overall due to lack of staff, the service was not upto the mark . nevertheless the food/ambienceis amazing.
i really hope they'd work on the scope of improvement.
thanks & cheers 🥂
