So I landed here apparently on the 2nd day after it opened (13th Nov to be precise!), for dinner. There was a Good crowd waiting, and i waited 25 minutes to be seated for dinner.
First the service, I was not so delighted with it. They forget getting the basic hygiene factors in place and open up a restaurant!! The water was not served but the soft drink was (or is it that only billable items were to be served?)... The food came but they forgot the napkins. Then they give you stained napkins when you ask for it after the food! They gave us menu cards, which were apparently sample menucards and so one was bound, one was stapled and one was all over the place.
Somebody tell me, what was the hurry in opening up the place if you did not have your act together?
In terms of the food, it was marvelous. The Kakori kebab is still the softest kebab in the world for me. The Galhauti kebab, is my personal favorite and the dish i rate most awadhi joints by. This one, passed! Though i wonder if i could get an improvised bread base into their recipe like the Taj has it ;) The Coriander Chicken called Dhania Murgh was a welcome change from the Red gravy called butter chicken in most part of the country! Not too happy with the breads though! The Shahi Tukda was very good too...
Now, only if the service got better, I'd go over and over again!
