While wandering on the maha busy Salunkhe Vihar Road, its hard to miss the newly-opened eatery, thanks to the eye-catching large green signboard decorated with leaves. The multi-cuisine restaurant offers an eclectic mix of Continental, Indian and Iranian food. They have recently opened a dessert parlour called Shockolaah, which was unfortunately shut when we had visited.



AMBIENCE: You can sit outdoors and enjoy the morning sunshine while sipping on ice tea or head upstairs for a more formal affair amid the elegant wooden furniture and the cream walls. We loved the profuse greenery surrounding the eatery, especially the bamboo stems at the gate.

WE TRIED: Since they offer Continental, Iranian and Indian cuisine, it took us some time to decide. For starters, we opted for the delicious Rosemary and Garlic Chicken Skewers (Rs 130), which are made from well-grilled chicken skewers tossed with vegetables such as capsicum and onions in a tomato dip. It was refreshing as well as healthy and we fell in love with the finger-licking good dip.

Emboldened by the tasty food, we decided to take matters in out own hands and opt for the Make Your Own Pasta option. It allows you to take your pick of ingredients that go in making the pasta and zeroed in on Penne Alfredo, Duet Olives and Trio Peppers (Rs 180) with chicken pieces. We added some Tabasco sauce to it and voila, the dish was ready! We were immensely satisfied with the outcome and the combination tasted delicious.

The Grilled Veggies and Cottage Cheese with Red Pepper Sauce (Rs 170) was served with rice and mashed potatoes. Though, the mashed potatoes tasted good, we had a hard time cutting through the cheese with a knife.

SERVICE: The attendants were happy to help at all times. However, we
weren't amused by the warning issued by them to stay away from Iranian food, as it would take too long to make.
