the secret kitchen

the restaurant smelled really bad. the plates had a foul smell. the food is dripping excess oils. the restaurant is half empty but theserviceis doubly slow. this could be a one off experience but the food also tastes really average. not worth the wait, price and hype.

ambiance just wins me ❤️. hospitality &servicewas good. we tried two soups -
chinese hot pot soup - a combination of hot n sour & manchow soup. it was good; most people will love this type of soup.
cheesy brown onion & corn soup -
smooth cheesy flavour with recognisable taste of brown onions. loved the shredded cheese in the soup.
we ordered two starters, methi manchurian & stuff fried pasta from queen elizabeth's kitchen.
both were good in taste.
overall i will say it's value for money.

the place is really amazing and has got a lovely seating arrangement...
i ordered fried pasta and rajwadi paneer... both were yummm and more importantly rajwadi paneer was too yummy...
the staff too was well behaved and theservicewas very very quick...
above all the way the food is served is really frabjous 😍
ambiance- 5/5
staff- 5/5
hygiene- 5/5

the secret kitchen is no longer a secret to people who have been here. i local contact recommended us to visit so we did. lovely design, goodserviceand really good food makes it a very good place in dumas area to visit. next time i am in dumas i will certainly come again.

service : ⭐⭐⭐ pretty quickservicebut it seemed like they just wanna get rid of the customers.

ambience : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ that's the only good thing! all the attention is paid to the interior and outlook.

food :
taste : ⭐⭐ everything tastes same!
we ordered..
fondue soup - there was nothing like fondue taste wise. moreover there were only 4 pieces of carrots in the soup and it tasted like literally nothing.

mexican platter - 3 variation in 1 plate and guess what if you eat blind folded you can't figure out which is what because all the 3 items tasted same! be it rice or tacos, all same!
we're so disappointed from these 2 dishes that we didn't order anything else.

quality : ⭐⭐⭐ i want to believe that if i've spent this amount then i'd be good quality.

presentation :⭐⭐⭐ it might be well garnished but if it doesn't taste well, that doesn't make any sense.

variety : ⭐⭐⭐ the menu is of eccentric style which is appreciable but that variation should also be in taste.

value for money : ⭐⭐ if i'm paying these much i'd like to eat something palatable which was not satisfactory at all.

quantity : ⭐⭐ you're not gonna be satisfied.

p. s. i don't want to be disrespectful but when a renowned chef's name is attached then expectations definitely go high as well as i've visited many other restaurants of this or higher status but this one is dismaying.
i hope it'll improve.

place is known as - the secret kitchen. brain child of chef aanal kotak, this is their 3rd outlet in surat after ahmedabad and vadodara. and she has continued spreading her excellent recipes in this outlet too. though there are many reasons to visit this place and we noticed each from our perspective. but one thing is clear, everything has a personal touch of the chef ak.

5 reasons which make the secret kitchen a heaven for food enthusiasts:

state of the art interiors: in india dining out is considered as a celebration. and for a perfect celebration we always accompany food with a perfect place. a place that gives you home-like privacy but restaurant-like amazement. there are theme based corners created which serves various purposes of your visit. a water body in the middle is absolutely astonishing. wall arts are minimalistic and sober. you can have a look at the live kitchen from your table.

inclusion of royal recipes: what if we say that you get a 100 year old royal recipe served in your plate. would you believe? yes the menu has an influence of royal kitchens of jodhpur, mevad, agra, jaipur and many more. chef ak has done a research on them and the cooking culture of the queens of the said provinces. its a perfect blend of royal recipes and a modern cooking techniques. you can get a masterpiece in your plate everytime.

culinary excellence by chef ak: menu is curated beautifully. no item is forced or levied on any segment. each of the item is handpicked and relevant to the category. the menu is a perfect mix of cultures, tastes, spices, eating habits, cooking excellence etc. the preparation of each product is unique, so do serving style. from a sharbat in mocktail to dabeli in snacks and tikki in starters, each menu product amaze you and all your senses. may be the name comes from their secret blends of spices.

service - class apart:  there is good service, there is greatserviceand then there isservice- class apart. you dont force upselling, give space between meals, help with condiments, understand the palate, present the perfect product etc. the staff is courteous and amiable.serviceis swift. its very rare to find the good food served with great service, but without doubt staff here makes your experience a memory to make.

molecular gastronomy: for the lehmens its just the use of science in making-serving food or beverage products. here they use molecular gastronomy very carefully. we know that excessive use of liquid nitrogen or dry ice is not good for our body, but when used carefully it can create miracles. beverages specifically mocktails are served with the touch of mg. such effects make your food-beverage droolsome and instaworthy on same time.
overall the place is a culinary heaven to explore. and you need to visit this place twice-thrice to cover everything on the menu. altogether its a must visit restaurant. cheers:
