When you are about to walk in this fine dining restaurant(which happens to be Ameya Suites' in house multicuisine restaurant), you may casually deem it as just another reataurant, but, don't let your unguarded first reaction fool you. Because what came next, left us flabbergasted!
Lets take you on this journey and give you a peek in to our escapade:
Food :
The list of items that we got to try(one of the perks of being a food blogger) was long and we would try our best to cover every item, however, excuse us if we missed anything.
We started the royal feast with the Lucknow Yakhi Shorba(non veg), Ginger, lemongrass and Turmeric Broth, Paya Shorba(non veg) and Mushroom Cappuccino.
The Focaccia Bread gave perfect company to the soups and we couln't have asked for a better start to the meal. The Watermelon Lime Cooler was what a lot of you may describe as thandai for us.
With our hunger pangs kicking in, the attendant wasted no time in serving us the next dishes. The Quinoa Couscous Tabouli was a part of their starter section and was prepared using quinoa, couscous, tomato, avocado, onion, fresh mint with lime olive dressing. The freshness of the vegetables and the olive dressing left our taste buds with a blend of flavors wanting for more.
The Palak Patta Chaat was undoubtedly one of the best we have ever had. The deadly combo of Tulsi Murg Tikka and Lucknowi Galauti Kebab was their answer to the hardcore punjabi in us! And not to forget, these tender kebabs, unlike any, were ingeniously served on top of mini circular tawa parantha!
For the vegetarians, they served Dahi ke Makhmali Kebabs. Lets just say a very few dishes are able to justify their names(this one actually did for all those who did not get it 😁).
The next dish has won many hearts, as our host, Surpreet, clearly labelled this as their best selling item. Chur-chur Naan with Dal Makhani. We must have digged in to it maybe a tad late as we were busy taking pictures and striking some really interesting conversation with Surpreet, but, when we did, we never looked back. Such was the impression that we had to send our compliments to the Chef(quite frankly he did let us in his secret recipe, but needless to say, we are not going to vomit it out).
We were then served the main course meal which included the Crispy Top Crusted Mac and Cheese, Risotto alle Verdure, Pollo Grigliato and Gamberi con Pomodoro e basilica (Prawns). We generally dont like eating fish or prawns, however, their Mac and Cheese is highly recommended! The risotto was colorful, filling and nicely presented and was prepared exactly as per the book.
We now slip our way to the last portion of the meal, the desserts. And maybe its just us, or in general, why do all these fine dining restaurants keep the best things for the last?
It was like a treasure unlocked with their oh so presentable Chocolate Mousse and the-never-tasted-before-and-probably-the-best Shahi Tukda! Guys, jokes apart, this Shahi Tukda laced with rabdi and white chocolate truffle was THE best we have ever had and thats exactly the adjective thats going to stick for years to come!
Seriously, do we still need to make ourselves any more clear than this? Its a hands down 5/5 for the food folks 👌
Ambience :
As we mentioned, you cannot have your first reaction ebb the zeal to explore the place. What they lack in their visibility is compensated in their food and decor. Although, the furnishings were minimalistic in design and were not very loud, one could easily spot the architectural ideas the owner must have incorporated in the design through their travel experiences around the world(mostly the UAE). Be it the spiral window mullions or the paintings on the wall, everything looked borrowed from different corners of the world. What could have made the ambience more appealing is a little music to feed the ears. For now, we are going fo settle with a not so bad 4/5.
Service :
Honestly, they were really quick in serving dishes and made us feel really special. The attendants were welcoming enough to explain the ingredients to us and made sure they exceeded our expectation with each dish. Regardless of such humbling hospitality, we are confident that the occupants of the hotel contribute to the majority of their footfall, however, they would not have qualms in serving their outside customers even in full occupancy. We'll give a bright 4.5/5 to them
Overall rating : 4.5/5
