Food Talks

With a extensive menu which offers a wide variety of cuisine the focus is rightly on good food. We have a vast option from North Indian to Oriental and Continental dishes. We were invited to review the establishment and we tried out the various offerings that is their signature dishes and among hot selling food items. We started with Hummus Martini (INR 295) which is a delightful and photogenic dish. Lip smacking hummus dish is topped in a Martini glass and served with lavaash and pita. It stood out to be an ideal appetizer for us and it was something uniquely done. Following it was Paneer 65 Baos (INR 295) soft steamed baos are filled with South Indian style cottage cheese stuffing and is served along with mint sauce and masala onions. An exceptional Fusion dish which is giving you the taste of the two different regions. Wada Pav Sliders (INR 255) is a classic tribute to the famous street food of Mumbai. Heading on to the mains we tried their Thai Green Curry Bento Box (INR 365). I remember those combo meals and bento box we used to try at food courts and here you get a generous amount of rich Thai curry which is served along with high quality steamed rice and crunchy spring rolls, making it an ideal meal offered at an economical price. Chicken Chettinad (INR 375) is surprisingly close to the authentic chettinad curry from Tamil Nadu. This dish is served with Malabar paranthas and every bite of the same is cherished.

We ended our meal on a sweet note with some promising desserts offered by Tamasha. The Choco Mousse was indeed a sweet sin. Soft and goeey dessert with a very delicate base is one of the best chocolate desserts at the place. The red velvet slice also makes its mark with generous amount of mascarpone cheese and beetroot in it.
