so i finally made it to yauatcha in bangalore after hearing so much about it and all the hype. but what it turned out to be was utter disappointment.
we went in expecting it to be on the lines of hakkasan or pa pa ya or any good fine dining place for that matter. but the minute we stepped in , the atmosphere put us off. theambience, the smell, the noise, no one being there to help us with a table, till we started looking for one ourselves.
the vibe of the place felt like one of those run down low budget canteens in the corner of a mall.
but we still decided to try it out, since we made the journey all the way.
we ordered the dimsums, a crispy aromatic duck dish and crispy lamb with raw mango. the dimsums were below average, the duck was decent, the lamb though crispy on the outside, was was rubbery and chewy inside. there was absolutely nothing to write home about. the pecan and coffee desert was the only saving grace. the staff was prompt once we were seated, but that was about it. i mean during times like these , when people hardly get out , and are so sceptical, when they do finally manage to choose a place and look forward to a meal and take the effort and trouble , restaurants should also be doing their best to reciprocate too otherwise it’s a big let down. not sure if this is some post lockdown effect, but hey, if the prices aren’t changing, neither should anything else. when you’re charging your customers a bomb... the food, the service , theambience, the total experience should match up. however this felt like a total waste of time, energy and money.
