after dealing with a traumatic experience at ironhill microbrewery & a small stint at bohemians (where the license to serve drinks have been canceled) we decided to visit @lonotropical
as the reviews were good in @zomato , we decided to give it a try! once we entered the place to our shock,they were dealing with a short circuit & the place was dripping in darkness. despite booking in advance via zomato, we had to hustle for a seat and were provided with a table after 15 mins. nonetheless, we decided to give it a chance & ordered drinks & food. and below is hungry monkeys review:
ordered items: a glass of j&b rare, a tropical relaxer, alonogin fizz, a sky hawaiian, a bangalore sunset, an arrowhead, a cranberry cooler, a verdure veg pizza, a plate of h.c.p fish & a bowl of crispy corn.
tropical relaxer; tasty cocktail with tinge of cranberry, coco syrup which was refreshing. an absolute favorite.
sky hawaiian; had it not been for curacao syrup, it wouldn't be in my list of a must try. though suited for hot weather, it still ticks all the boxes for a top class cocktail.
lono gin fizz; the egg white did the magic. strict vegetarians should stay away. but, its unique & with lime juice it beats all the aforementioned drinks.
bangalore sunset; vodka, rum, gin, tequila, red wine topped with triple sec. need i say more? absolute delight.
arrowhead; kept the best for last! to be honest, a combo of gin & rum drink had never tasted this good. must must try. the budsting of flavors in your mouth is praiseworthy. this barmans special won my heart!
crispy corn; very average, could have been 10 times better. too much gram flour spoilt the taste.
verdure pizza; decent, but it was well proportionate & perfectly cooked.
h.c.p. fish; best, never tasted this amazing chinese dish. the julienne cut veggies added the flavors to an already incredible dish!
service: lethargic, delayed. had to ask twice to get an order.
damages: inr 3k(zomato pro)
verdict: good ambience, amazing cocktails, needs focus on service.
