after filtering through a lot of places, we decided to celebrate our dearest friend's birthday here. we had to make a 20 km drive and by the end of it, we were upset to drive back home.
let's start with the ambience of the place.
situated on sarjapur road amidst boring tech parks, this place is an absolute treat to the eyes after sundown. we reached the place at around 6:30 and the terrace dining while being bathed in those dim halogen lights is a vibe you must feel. the place is clean, has plenty of seating room for all group sizes.
nothing less than 5/5 for the ambience.
now, let's talk about the service. mr. prosenjit ghosh was our rockstar. he was dynamic, very polite and bubbling with energy even when he had to collect about 20 orders from 7 people. service like this makes people want to come back often. kudos to the gentleman!
he was quick to take our orders and even quicker to fill our table with deliciously cooked food. we had a special request- to get a brownie with "happy birthday" written on it and when the cake gets to our table, the dj was requested to play a song of our choice. mr. ghosh co-ordinated the activity to perfection and my friend describes the experience as one of his best birthdays ever.
i'd be a fool to not rate service anything less than 5/5.
now, for the highlight of our evening, the food and drinks. i read from the reviews that the apple cider craft beer is a good pick and i wasn't disappointed at all! though lacking the alcohol concentration it almost tasted like appy and was a very refreshing drink. couldn't have enough of that! as for the vegetarian food, we ordered the tandoor veg platter which was smoked to perfection and the paneer tikka in it was probably the best i've ever had. you know what else was the best i've ever had ? the crispy corn as well.
then we got a pizza, thai green curry, pasta bolognese and noodles. neither dish failed to disappoint us. but the only thing that did disappoint us was the lack of dessert choices. this is a common thing with so many resto bars these days post pandemic but we definitely would love to see more variety in the sweet tooth department. we ordered a chocolate climax milkshake and it failed to give the climax feel that it claimed. mr ghosh was kind enough to strike it off our bill. the brownie birthday cake we ordered satisfied all the sweet teeth at the our table. the food and drinks aren't pricy and the portion size was more than decent.
overall, i'd rate the quality, price, portion and variety a solid 4.5/5.
final notes. if you're looking for a place with an ambience that leaves you wishing you'd stayed for longer, the most dynamic and friendly service ever, a wide range of extremely palatable food and drinks that quench your thirst while also making you thirsty for more, i'd 100% recommend giving this place a visit! thank you for hosting us.
