Mid East MoJo
Havn't been out to eat in a while and what a comeback... our meal was superb! We were a large table so got to taste a wide selection of things as we dipped into each others orders.
Food: The lamb with humus and a kheema and hazlenut 'samosa' (for lack of a better term) for starters - avoid the aubergine dip. Main course was the Arni m'qualli (not sure if i got it right - ask your waiter :) which is a leg of lamb cooked in Tagine dish making it succulent and literally shred off the bone - yum! Other delightful dishes included the lamb shank and prawn tagine served with couscous. The kebabs off the grill are also delicious
Ambience: what ambience? - a big let down. I can't imagine why a place like the Taj can't be sensible enough to install reflective glass to take advantage of the view...as it was, we ended up looking at ourselves in the reflection despite a great view of the harbour.
Service: Was excellent with some good suggestions made by the person taking our order. Unfortunately, they were wearing outfits that looked like they were bought at RoopMilan rather than what would be available in a middle eastern souk
Damage: Bloody expensive - was being entertained so did not see the bill, but would imagine it was in the range of Rs 2000 per head

Taj Dissapoints yet again
Rest : Souk
Meal : Dinner
Date : 14/6/2006
Location :Taj
Experience - Very nice ambience, Souk is at the rooftop of the Taj Tower and has a great views the decor is kind of modern minimalist and the service is allright.
Drink : Diet Coke
Food : The cuisine is spread across different parts of the Mediterranean.
We ordered the Shorba Adas, which was this egyptian soup with onion straws.
Allright, not great, in fact i have had a better version at the Cafe Basilico.
The humus khabez which is hummus with chopped pickeled veggies. It was allright, not great, passable.
The Felafil, was also not bad, but quite passable. The two mixed together raised the quality of the meal to a touch above ordinary.
We decided to split the entree so we ordered this Greek Spagetti, which was lots of tomato, parmesan cheese, in a light, red and white sauce. This was the coup, very light, but full of taste. Highly recommend it to anyone.
Overall the experience was dissapointing, i would have expected Souk to be in league with Wasabi and Golden Dragon but its barely about 60% of the experience. Also they were scrimping on the Pita. I mean jeez, with the pasta i got two pieces of pita ? seriously, i have great respect for the Taj, but this is too much (or too little)
Much emphasis was placed on the decor and lesser still on the food. Also allowing people to waft in wearing shorts is unacceptable. I think white people can still get away with anything in this country (and i say that as a person who has a huge cirlce of friends who live abroad and visit)
Rating : Food 6/10, Service 8/10
Damage : 2100 ($50)
