Short description – in case u r in a hurry:

We heard about this restaurant from our friend Ankita and decided to pay a visit here. We were browsing the social media onway to the restaurant and read about a particular window seat that someone had liked.

As we walked in, we saw the window seat. It was actually beautiful – seating beside a huge French window with an arch.

The restaurant has few such seats in the ground floor and a bar. Rest of the seating is on the first floor.

Detailed description – in case u hv the time to njoy reading:

For drink we had Garcinia Indica – it had kokum, ginger and coriander with fizz. The drink was quite tangy but the astringent feel of kokum was totally missing. It was a bit too smooth as a drink and hence was on the border of being a bottled drink. Ginger slightly made its presence felt but coriander continued to remain shy thruout the drink. Rate the drink 3/5.

Table Mary – I ordered this as the menu card mentioned that it was  made from freshly made tomato juice. The menu card also mentioned that it had ketel one vodka and They claimed it to be the ‘freshest tastiest Bloody Mary in town’. I thought that was a tall claim and we decided to order.

I don’t know whether it’s the best Bloody Mary in town but it was bloody fantastic. The fresh tomato juice made a huge difference – as much as a difference between an Indica and an Innova. The olives were lovely to munch on. The spicing was perfect. The drink was just too good. Rate it 4.75/5

We tried PAN roasted Crab cakes with smokey chipotle mayo and light greens. The crab cakes were as good as the best crab cakes I have had at Boston. The crab meat was pulled patiently, it was lumpy , flaky and retained its taste.

There was minimum packing to make the crab cake stand. The sweetness of crabmeat, freshness of the crab, the juiciness, the awesome flavours and the retention of texture while making the outer layer crisp, all contribute to this dish being rated at 4.95/5

For dessert we had Chocolate budino – cocoa walnut ice cream, earl grey ice cream. The chocolate was sweet and dark. It was intense, thick and rich.

Rate the dish 4.5/5
