we are on a 4.5 rating restaurant spree. basically picking only the restaurants rated more than 4.5 on zomato and visiting them. (disclaimer - vegetarian)
went to this place a couple of days back. ambience is okish. this isn't a dinner ambience. this is more of a drinks and casual fingerfoodkind of ambience and the furniture and settings kind of reflect that.
the kind of seating they provided to us was weirdly funny. like a middle class home - sofa and cane chair setting.
anyway - coming back to thefooditself.
for starters we ordered
"amul cheese and crushed guntur chillies toast" - was saltish but ok.
and "mkc style vada pav" - was ok. the vada was hot. the pav was soft. won't complain. but definitely needed more zing in both the vada and the chilly they gave as a "side".
for mains - we had ordered
"aloo chole, kulcha" - was decent. kulcha was nice and hot and you could smell the butter and cheese. the chole was exceptionally well made. so full marks for that. quantity is ridiculously less for the price charged. so even for one person - it wouldn't suffice.
we also ordered their "bombay sampler".
who on earth makes ragda with saunf ? it seemed more like saunf with ragda pieces in it. misal pav was really meh. bhaji was also very average. not impressed at all.
we thought, since both the starters and mains were underwhelming - perhaps the dessert might surprise us. and surprise us it did !
one of the worst and saddest desserts we've ever had - the madras kitchen sundae. kandravi. please don't order this. there are a dozen ice cream shops outside that sell better stuff.
did we tell you - that they lost power during the course of dinner ? for 2 full minutes and then there was smell of someone's sizzler that one could smell across the "entire" floor for nearly 5 minutes.
service sucks donkeyballs.
definitely won't recommend.
not value for money.
no service for money.
