this restaurant surely deserves a 5 rating. what an excellent dining experience. these guys are truly doing justice to the "sanjeev kapoor" brand. last night i visited this restaurant with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.servicewas excellent, ambience very good, food excellent. we had ordered the following:
1. shabnam ke moti: one of their trademark dishes. stuffed button mushroom baked with two types of cheese. a must have dish.
2. lallamussa dal: excellent lentil preparation, very similar to 'dal bukhara'. this dal is supposedly cooked for a long time which gives it such buttery consistency. goes very well with all types of bread.
3. butter naan: this was good too. it was thinner than what you get in other restaurants.
4. veg makhmali: wonderful preparation of finely chopped veggies cooked in thick gravy. a little on the sweeter side, this dish too had cheese in it.
5. murg hara pyaz: 7 to 8 boneless pieces of chicken in thick yellow gravy. again goes wonderfully well with naan.
6. veg fried rice: again lovely preparation, full of veggies, paneer, good quality long grained rice enough for two people.
a special mention must go for the extra condiments that comes without asking, which is so important for a complete indian meal. pickled onions, sweet papaya chutney, mixed pickle along with freshly-cut onions, green chillies, lemon slices and another two types of chutnies - green coriander and sweet tamarind chutney were served. papads were served during the waiting time. at the end of the meal paan was served. also the wait staff was very knowledgeable and guided us with what to choose from the menu.
if i have to mention one point which can be improved on, i would suggest that they can lower the volume of the bollywood numbers that was playing. also, i feel that soft instrumental music goes better with a fine dining ambience.but barring this minor point, although a little heavy on the pocket, this restaurant really serves quality experience.
