not a great date
i was out at Shatranj last Friday & i completely agree with anyarmy verbatim... "we realized that we were almost the only ones there - apart from a bevy of staff and one occupied table in the corner.
The floor was poorly lit and had a strange smell of stale air circulating. This part also had shabby decor and some incognizant wait staff. "
Apart from this, I noticed that most of the upholstery was worn-out & the staff were busy prioritizing their briefing session than heeding to the lone guests at the restaurant i.e. US
Overall - food was average & service was excusable
Still questioning, why I tipped in the first place!

(A Not So) Happy Diwali
I'm going to try and keep this short as I'm not one who likes to read pages and pages of restaurant bashing. But, in order to justify the one star rating, one must present a case.
The point being - why would someone give a one star to such a critically acclaimed restaurant. (Critically acclaimed because I saw a framed certificate from Burrp.com insinuating them as one of the best restaurants and not to mention it currently has a four star rating here).
I was there on Wednesday, the 29th of Oct 2008 meeting a friend over lunch. The prudent individual that I am and wanting to ensure a smooth dining experience, I made reservations in advance.
As we got off the car, the doorman wouldn't stop wishing us in his slyly expecting tone, chants of "Happy Diwali Sir" which was fine considering the occasion.
On arriving at this opulent location, we were ushered in through the main entrance into a deserted and once lavish remnant of a dining hall. Through the stairs on to the upper floor, we realized that we were almost the only ones there - apart from a bevy of staff and one occupied table in the corner.
Now this floor was poorly lit (maybe to save electricity to prevent global warming) and had a strange smell of stale air circulating. This part also had shabby decor and some incognizant wait staff.
After being seated (and moved - apparently there was a big group coming in to dine), we finally got to the menus. We ordered Italian, stuffed mushrooms and chicken as appetizers along with some beer. This part was bearable but nothing to write home about. We followed that up with some entrees of honey glazed chicken with pepper sauce and garlic bread on the side. The chicken was hard and the sauce was almost like having desserts. I tried to pacify myself with a cocktail - this time a Whiskey Sour which helped further in turning the afternoon sour.
This is when we decided to book our losses and exit from this crime scene.
Again, I'd like to be fair. Service here was average but the food, ambiance (or the lack thereof) and poor management is slowing leading this place to its downfall.
I wish someone else had written this review before me. You have been warned.

Gr8 food..
I went to this place for d first time to celebrate my frnd's 18th bday today..really liked the place. The ambience is really nice. The restuarant downstairs is ideal for a dinner with ur special someone :-)
U can hav a gr8 time dancing upstairs...they play really good music. Even I (not a party person at all) couldnt help but dance a little :-)
As for the food, I loved it! We had garlic bread, penne arabbiata & spaghetti in a very creamy cheesy sauce (its a shatranj napoli special). We also also liked d indian fare here...peas pulao, kadai paneer & rotis. For dessert, we had d bday girl's choc cake, vanilla ice cream & tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious!

indian italian chale raho
Was taken by an artiste some years ago after a party, ordered spaghetti in white sauce with some trepidation. Surprise it was just perfect as was all the other stuff we ordered.
Have been there numerous times later on, but never with the wife, so have promised her that would take her to the branch at 7 bungalows......Hope they do not let me down!!
