Illuminati “Beautiful things and Delicious food is priceless.” It’s a thought come to my mind when I’ve visited newly opened place in BKC named Illuminati. This place surprises me in my first visit. As you entered the place, it’s a different world altogether. This place certainly raises the bar chicness and opulence. With all positive vibes and great hospitality Illuminati won accolades. The place lit with beautiful white lights, classy décor and huge bar. They have a wide collection of Alcohol and wines. The amazing indulgence of spices and the flavors has made me their fan. The varied menu has really tempted my taste buds and taken it to a niche. So, first let’s start with cocktails and then food. Prisoner: Vodka based (kettle one) with Galangal and Lemongrass. Loved the freshness and sweet taste because of lemongrass. Blue Fairy: Jim Beam + Blueberry + Blue Pea Bitters + Orange slice. Looks amazing but tasted less of alcohol. Maybe not stirred well, still can give a try. Believer: Believe me, it’s the best one among all three. Kettle One Vodka+ Chamomile spiced Apple + Thyme. Really amazing. This was smooth, fresh and bit different. Quick Steamed Rawas Xiao Xing: Loved the balance. Bold flavors. Very smooth texture. Presentation is beautiful. Rawas fish is served with Xiao Xing wine. Overall colourful and made well. Do try. Tokyo Chicken Karrage: This looks amazing and tasted so good, crunchy. You can taste both sweet and spicy at the same time. I could actually feel the distinct flavors yet intact. Tempura Prawn: It delectably delights you. One of the best tempura prawn sushi I had in recent time. Tasted lovely. Chicken and Bok Choy: It was simply great. Bok Choi is a type of Chinse Cabbage. Minced Chicken and Bok Choy has a generous stuffing. Served hot. Do try. Honey Sesame Chicken Bowl: I still cannot get over this. The star dish of the day. Diced chicken tossed in sticky sesame soy with a bit of 5 pickled chillies. All the herbs intact and served with Jasmine rice was a delicious treat to my gluttony. The Decadent Cake French Toast: Not too sweet. But not to be miss for sure. Time and again I would just sing praises for this absolutely amazing place which makes sure to lure its patron and woo them with delicious offerings. P.S: The review is strictly depending on my personal experience. Food: 5/5 Décor: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Illuminati is a newly opened casual dining bar winch serves Asian, Japanese, American and European cuisines with some explicit cocktails and mocktails. They have really done splendid work with the interiors, as there is major use of glass and elaborate glass work adorning the ceilings and walls. The bar also looks quite good and definitely serves you some nice cocktails. We had 📍Elixir This drink was a concoction of litchi along with some hibiscus tea and vodka (Ketel One). This was one of the best cocktails I have had. The drink was just perfect. I even loved the way it was presented, with 2 litchies on a stick on the cusp of the glass. Highly recommended! 📍Believer As soon as you bring this drink near your lips to drink it, you are welcomed by the strong smell of vanilla. The flavor isn't much recognizable as it also has chamomile. But worth a try 📍Mon Amie This was a watermelon based drink, if you aren't one to experiment, then this is the drink for you. 📍 Blue fairy I have never been the one to try bourbon based cocktails, but I am lucky I tried this one out. Another highly recommended one! Coming to the appetizers we had Pizza inspired aranchini This is the dream come true for all cheese lovers. The fusion of arancini and pizza, an absolute delight! And the sweet and sour marinara to complete it, top notch! Charcoal bread double cheese sandwich This is basically grilled cheese, but with a twist. The bread here is made with activated charcoal and the sandwich is served with tomato olive sauce. Another dish worth trying In mains we had Grilled polenta with mushrooms and pecorine It's a vegetarian dish with the grilled polenta topped with with a cheesy, creamy sauce with mushrooms and grilled aspharagus and some tomato sauce. Deconstructed Coq Au Vin This wine braised chicken dish is enough for a single person to finish it off, it is served with some mashed potatoes and roast garlic thyme puree. The chicken is perfectly cooked and tastes delicious with all the other small items on the plate. Worth a try! And now finally to the desserts Simply chocolate This was a delight to see and eat, so many different things on a single plate, even though they have their individual personalities but together they made the dish 10 times more delicious. A must try!!! Illuminati is a place which I would highly recommend to visit during the nights, as the place turns into a complete party place, and also to have a good meal with a pretty ambience and absolutely top notch food.
