Great ambience and service but food disappoints
Decided to go to Orchid seeing all the good reviews. Went early so got a place quite easily despite being a Sunday. The place is nicely done and has a great ambience. Got on to a good start and was really looking forward to the food.
Decided to fo for Italian and ordered a tomato soup flavoured with basil, bruschetta and a custom made pasta in red sauce with toppings.
The soup was served with two slices of garlic bread. It was not bad but I expected something more reading the description. It was like your usual tomato soup. The bruschetta was more like garlic bread with cheese and a tomato base.Overall the food was not bad but not something I was expecting from an Italian restaurant. The saving grace was the pasta. The sauce was really good. That was totally worth it.
Service: Very good, the waiters know what they are doing and do it well. He also mentioned that canelloni or ravioli was not their forte and recommended another dish. Was extremely impressed by the level of professionalism. Also came to check if the food was ok.
Overall not a bad experience but nothing extraordinary that I would want to repeat.

A flower that's always fresh!
This place must be around for almost 10 years now. But believe me these guys have managed to keep up the consistent quality of the food and service. Even the interiors & furnishings look stunningly fresh, its really ** well-maintained considering the crowd that pours in. It's usually packed on Sunday nights but it's so well-staffed that you will rarely find yourself looking for the bearer to help you with your next order. The service is just impeccable and it's consistent through, from the Manager to the Valet guys downstairs. After seeing this place, I think most places today lack service because they are under-staffed - Orchid's just know what it takes. Not once have I been disappointed here.
Regarding the food, they have a pretty extensive Italian menu, their preparations particularly with seafood are simply amazing. I have never tried the Indian or the Chinese here but I am sure it should be pretty decent.
This is what we ordered last night:
** Sweet Corn Seafood Soup - mom had that. Rs. 100/-
** Bruchetta Rs 110/-
** Portion of Garlic Bread 60/-
** Gamberetti Alla Senape: King Prawns in a creamy mustard sauce *Highly Recommended* Rs 325/-
** Lasagna Verde Al Forno: Layers of home made pasta with spinach in cheesy tomatoes sauce and baked Rs. 160/-
** Insalata Dela Casa: Assorted pastas and veg flavoured with burnt garlic. and papprica along with a dash of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Rs. 140/-
** Diet Pepsi Rs.60/-
** Caramel Custard (totally skip this one, it didnt have molecule anything close to caramel) Rs 60/-
** Whisky Soda Rs. 149/-
** Total 1266/- (inclusive of taxes)
Not bad, what say?

Serendipity strikes
I had heard a fair bit about this restaurant from my Chembur buddies, so i thought I'd give this place a try. I didn't have much expectations, so I didn't reckon I'd be disappointed at all. I was in for a pleasant surprise.
I sampled their Ravioli, and for the better part it was good but (like the reviewer before me) I felt they had skimped a bit on the filling. It was good, more than satisfying but it left me feeling that this could have been that bit better.
I tried some of their starters (on a skewer, forget the name...excellent by the way), their mughlai was very good but what I loved most was their Chinese. It was fantastic. I despise noodles in its chinese avatar, and I somehow found myself relishing their finely spiced offering as if I couldn't get enough of it (which I couldn't). The accompanying gravy we had ordered was also excellent, and I was so busy savoring the taste of the dishes that I completely forget to note the names of whatever we had called for. Nevertheless, I will return soon and provide greater details.
Sizzling brownie was the standard fare (still good), and the service, cleanliness and ambience all won top points from me. Highly recommended, whether it's a hop-skip-and-jump away or otherwise

Awesome customer service
Personally, I judge a restaurant by how well they maintain the toilet and these guys did a good job. It didnt smell and I didnt feel the need to get out of there asap.
Moving on to the service now. There was a five minute waiting for a table but they didnt leave us hanging outside the door but instead took us in and offered us a good place to sit in their hotel lobby which I think was refreshing.
Food, they have an italian menu but not quiet upto the mark. The raviolli could do with some more stuffing in it and on telling the manager about it, he readily offered to replace it for anything else I wanted. So that was nice of them to do that.
So the food didnt really matter after that.. I was happy to be treated with some sense of respect.
