Review:
The first thing you notice is the ambience. It reminds you of a sports bar in the US. The booth seating is very spacious, unlike most places where they try to squeeze in as many tables possible in the given area. You can actually get into your seat and out of it without having to push the table back.
The menu is different. It features a lot of fish, lamb and beef dishes. We started with a Greek chicken soup which was a delicate chicken and rice based broth. It was hard to dish the out the soup beyond the first few spoons. The soup might be a letdown to some because it is quite a subtle dish with the strongest flavor as rice.
For appetizers, we had hummus with Pita bread which was good and very close to the authentic taste (or the American authentic that we are familiar with).
I had Morrocan Chicken with Kabsa rice at rs. 325. This was the best dish amongst all the things we tried. It has two skewers of chicken kebabs with a strong barbeque sauce and cinamon. This was again a very unique flavor which may need some getting used to. The rice was good. The portions are on the smaller size, I guess not really small, but when you pay that much, you sort of expect to get more WFM. :)
Neeraj had some pomfret with garlic butter over mashed potatoes. Again at rs. 425, it was a steep price for one fillet of fish. The taste was good, but the price lingers at every bite :)
Overall it is a good place to entertain "foreign guests" esp if your company is paying :D
