Tuskers

Probably the only Rajasthani & Gujarati speciality restaurant in a five-star hotel in Mumbai, Tuskers has some authentic dishes which doesn't fail to impress the taste buds. This was my second visit to this restaurant. I tried a set menu here, and it had 4 appetizer choices ( I tried only 3 ), 5 main courses ( I tried two ), rice, 3 bread options and 2 desserts. In the appetizers, Ajmeri Subz Ki Seekh was slightly stiff filled with veggies, Makai Cheese Roll was soft & mildly sweet, and Mithania Mirch Ka Panner was soft & mildly spicy. The instructions to prepare the latter less spicy as possible were followed properly. The serving time for the first order was ~12 mins, which is less than what such dishes usually take. The default portion was 3 pieces. I repeated one quantity of each item and the average time to serve ( on the second count ) was 7 mins. All three were delicious. Coming to the main course, Sangri Ke Kofte and Subz Panchmela, both towards the sweet side, were amazing. The initial quantity served was a bowl full, ~125 gms. I paired them up with some butter kulchas, which came up in about 5 mins, medium-size. There are limited & common options in desserts, the normal Gulab Jamun in small size, the default serving being 1 available in both hot and cold, topped up with tiny pieces of almond and pistachios. Perhaps a large-size Kala Jamun would have been a better option. Nonetheless, the Gulab Jamun was scrumptious. The second order of Gulab Jamun though took ~15 mins, and I had to give them a reminder. Thanks to one of the managers ( I don't remember the name ) who was there around to ensure that everything was going well. Not to forget that he offered me a couple of complimentary mocktails, off the menu, all I had to say was one or two ingredients. One was primarily khus-based, it was quite sui generis, and very good. However, I didn't like the other one, cranberry-based with some pineapple cuts in, which was very sweet and overall looked to be a bad combination. Despite peak hours, the food serving time was reasonable, and the overall quality of service was excellent. All the items had unlimited servings, and the cost was Rs 3,000 + taxes, which in my opinion is on the high side, however on various online applications one would generally be able to find ~25% discount. The seats are more or less of the same type, and there are about 15-18 tables in total, so the restaurant area is quite big, although not as big as the global cuisine restaurant - Pondichery Cafe ( review separately available ). The ambience is good too. I will surely visit again.

Vegetarian thali restaurant with very courteous service. Staff is attentive and professional. Food is good, presentation nice while the ambience is awesome.

Visited for lunch. Wasn't aware that only thali will be available for lunch. But it turned out to be a decent experience. The taste of all the food items was amazing and authentic. Service can be a bit faster. Spent a good time. Used zomato carnival offer that made the visit a great deal for money.

Amazing sadya on the occasion of Onam. Royally presented sumptuous food.

Go the Traditional way with Marwadi Food @Tuskers,Sofitel Place : Tuskers, Sofitel Cuisine : Pure Vegetarian, North Indian Category : Luxury, Fine Dining, Five star What? Marwadi Food Festival Ambience: Indian Royal would be two words. Beautiful curtains surround the place while dim lights take over. Every table has delicate candles and comfortable seating. They also host private dining area. Food: It was bang on. I was hesitant on trying Marwadi. But it took me aback. My favorite was jalebi Chaat where the the jalebi was presented amidst tangy flavours like coriander chutney, meetha chutney and more. Chef Vinay Kumar and his colleague did a fabulous job. We loved the tandoori paneer. Also kadhi wada was nice. Another twisted what we liked was how dahi bhalla was roasted and it tasted yum Next up we had thandai and it was SO GOOD. Not too sweet but it yet had the powerful flavours. We tried Dal bati churma and the let me tell you, the churma was to die for . We loved our roti and sabji. The corn palak was welcome twist and Dal was also wonderful. We ended it up with hot jalebis and Rabdi. We loved it. The feel: Marwadi singers enrapturing the crowd. Can you imagine the traditional feel? Also, there was a bangle maker . He made bangles in front of you . It was so lovely. We had our stomachs full and hearts full filled at the end . The festival is on till the 13 May . Also traditionally it hosts wonderful food.
