Dinner at Kebabs n Kurries & my disappointment with the ITC chain

My recent dinner at Kebabs n Kurries left me fairly disappointed. The food was above average, the service was good however we close to 4000 for a dinner for three without any alcohol and frankly i feel it was a monumental waste.

ITC has raised prices up to 30% by classifying its property as a gold property. What that essentially means is that you pay more for things but you there is nothing new on offer except for a gold label. The food is the same though not as good anymore, the menu is limited as well. T increase in price seems excessive as one can get better meals for a lot less city wide. What made Kebabs special is no more a case as the expense hardly seems justified.

I am going to stick to the Taj & The Oberoi for sometime now when it comes to fine dining.

we started with some fried paneer, stuffed with more paneer and some other veggies. It was completely bland, some salt and hot sauce made it a go though.

ITC continues to be one of the few people who offer a can of thums up and kudos to them for that.

the breads were dissapointing all around. Garlic Naan & Roomali

The Dal Bukhara was stupendous, the qaz e qaza was spicy.

Overall, the food was above average, the service and ambiance was top notch.

Food : 7/10
Service : 8/10
Damage 4000 without drinks

Not value for money by a long shot.

Salt Water Grill Has Closed Down - But...

Salt Water Grill at Chowpatty, one of the two restaurants by the beach has shut down. I go by for my walk just about every week and there have been no signs of life for sometime now. It seems the government issues that they were having finally made them close. I have heard other rumours as well regarding some political skullduggery etc but this is not the place for that.

However just the other day on my way to a friends in Bandra i saw a sign which said Salt Water Cafe, same logo, same style, so i reckon they are opening a cafe there (its right opposite to the Biguine Spa)

So for anyone who went there for the food, they can now head to the SWC. Those that went for the ambiance can head to Aurus.

Hornbys Pavilion

Rest: Hornbys Pavilion
Meal : Late Night Snack
Location : ITC Grand Central

I know everyone probably thinks i go to the ITC properties way too often and i promise that is going to change fairly soon. Have resolved to go to all the other 5 stars from now on :) However i will say that i have found some of my other ventures to be disastrous Read



Anyway, i got in fairly late and opted for a fantastic cup of a cafe mocha. Excellent! i just wish it has been even hotter.



opted for an English breakfasts sans the meats of course. Good stuff, its a nice little breakfast option this one. i recommend it.



accompanied with some yummy beans on toast as well.




Also had an excellent Biryani, i wish it came with a little more in terms of accompaniments, however it tasted great. The tomato soup was also not too bad (not pictured)

Overall a decent mid night option. They have plenty of buffets all day as well.
