The restaurant is a contemporary space and like its food is a perfect fusion of Indian and western elements. Located in the posh "Manor", the restaurant has an open view of the veranda that sits at the edge of a well landscaped and manicured lawn. There is a private dining room and a bar, but much of what there is to experience happens at your table. There is an air of sophistication that permeates this place. But the polite service dulls the sophistication inching it away from being a snobbish restaurant.
High marks for presentation that could make the most foul tasting food drool worthy. Although its hard to find anything that is not tasty on their menus. As starters the bite size blue cheese naan served with cashew and coconut chutney is perfect. The pani puri starter has the puris innovatively stuffed with wasabi peas giving it that pungent bite.
The tasting menus are definitely their piece de resistance with a non-vegetarian and vegetarian selection. The courses (11-12 dishes in all) are paired perfectly with half glass portions of wine. For those with a smaller appetite try the light menu that offers about half the number of dishes. But we have to warn you that it will leave you wanting for more.
The must-try list of food is exhaustive and some of it arrives as a part of the tasting menu. But here is my attempt at listing some of them; Rice coated red snapper molly, foie gras stuffed galawat, Panko crusted bharwan mirch, flambe' tandoori chicken, masala miso scottish salmon, masala wild mushrooms and the achaari new zealand lamb shank.
We may have come away with much lighter wallets but satiated and happy. This can be a worthy experience for all your foodies out there!
