the druid garden

we had made reservations, spoke to mr amit, however found inordinate delay in getting a table, thetablewe found was not sufficient for 6 people, it took an escalation for us to get a bigger table. another 10 minutes to get baby chairs inspite of informing the same while making a reservation , not worth the price we pay!

we were a team of 3members. we had reservations. after reaching the restaurant, we took atableand went to explore the restaurant spots. we told the manager to block thetablefor us and he agreed. later after coming back,we saw some other people sitting at our table. on asking the manager,he simply said he could not ask them to sit on anothertableand offered to give us another one. the restaurant simply didn't use the reserved card on a blocked table. how very unreasonable is that!!! later we refused to leave ourtableand the manager was compelled to give back our table. pathetic management!
good food overall, but the pan fried fish was too expensive and very disappointing in terms of quantity.

i visited with a guest last thursday and the guy seating us was not at all helpful. he was forcing us to take atablein area we did not want . after multiple requests, he insisted on giving us atablein the corner with limited lighting and air inspite of other tables being available. unacceptable behaviour. such people should not be in the restaurant industry. i was embarrassed for taking my guest to this place which i thought would be a good experience

felt like the druid garden has lost its charm.

we had the tomato dhaniya shorba which was quite good, but was our second choice because they didn't have the creamy mushroom soup.

one of their previous best-sellers, the chilli cheese naan is no longer on the menu, because they are working with a different menu now.

the bucatelli aglio-e-olio was chewy and felt undercooked.

usually, druid garden would be packed on a saturday evening and getting atablewould be hard, but the amazing food made up for it. but this time, there were a lot of empty tables, and the food was below average.

we were pleasantly surprised at how easily we got a table, but soon realised why.

this place is amazing.
location- convenient from either sides of the city.
quite spacious, distancing from eachtableand beautiful interios.
special- there inhouse druid beer is must try. give it a try.

excellent service by sharath at ourtable. his appetiser suggestion- crispy fried coconut cakes - was the best dish . the cheesecakes was a letdown- the base of the cheesecake was thin.

music is a bit loud for having any conversations with your family. perhaps volume can be turned down a bit. drinks are good

food - 4.5/5
ambience- 4.5/5

the druid garden at sahakarnagar is an european style craft brew restaurant serving a wide range of global cuisines.

the location is not difficult to find, parking is available at ease during weekdays. i recommend to reserve atablebefore visiting to avoid waiting. the restaurant is spacious and friendly for all ages.

ambience:
there are 2.5 floors. one floor is indoor, half floor on a deck- an area for get togethers, one floor is a roof top.


experience:
the service is incredible. the staff are very friendly, very patient to listen and suggest, the staff is very trained on every dish in the menu and most of all, they know the right serving techniques.

beer:
there are 6 types of beer.
hefeweizen, drunkelweizen, czech pilsner lager, bohemian drunkel, rauchbier, imperia stout, indian pale ale,
hefeweizen beer is the one i chose. very soothing on the palate and easy flowing beer.

food:
we ordered:
non veg:
1. pumpkin prawns - it was a recommended dish. the prawns were of big size, almost the size of tiger prawns. the flavour of the pumpkin on the prawns merged really well and it gave a sweet juicy flavour with a feel of the crunchyness of the meat.
it was so good that we ordered totally 3 plates.

2. chicken wings - bbq sauce. - the pieces were big and meaty. but it needed more of the bbq sauce and was very bland.

3. chicken steak - it is a meal for 1 person with 2 big piece of chicken legs, vegetables and mashed potato.
the presentation of this dish was good. the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. the meat was very soft, juicy and tender. would recommend it.

4. tenderloin steak - it is a meal for 1 person too but if you are a good eater, you can have 2 plates of similar portions. it had 3 small pieces of tenderloin meat, dry and the sauce added the flavour to the meat. the vegetables were crunchy. potato wedges were good.

vegetarian.
1. cheese corn bake: the presentation is very good. if you are a cheese lover, it is a must have dish. an extra dose of pepper makes the dish more relishable.

2. 4 cheese pizza: this has blue cheese. the duid garden has its own bakery. the pizzas are a must to have on the menu. the base of the pizza was super fresh and made the pizza more delicious.

3. paneer tikka lababdar - i must say, the paneer quality was premium. very soft and filled with flavours. softness of paneer made me remind of delhi.

overall, the experience was amazing and is a must visit place. i would definitely go back for the beer and try other dishes too.
