It was my mom's birthday. Like on every
other occasion, my family planned to have lunch in a fancy
restaurant, a restaurant with perfect ambiance and delicious food. On
the top floor of a decent mall, there is such a restaurant located.
We were walking up the elevator, overwrought to explore the new
delicacies which the restaurant was about to present us.
On the passage to the entrance of the
restaurant, there were some beautiful blooming plants. On the left
side, was a rooftop dine-in and on the right side, there was a door.
Walking through the doorway, we saw some aesthetically pleasing
paintings on the wall. There were beautiful chandeliers on the roof.
We took the corner table which had sofa seat. Royal as it looked, was
very comfortable. The authentic music added glory to the ambiance.
We were holding menus in our hands,
deciding what to order. Inquiring the waiter about the specialties,
we ordered Orange Vanilla Mocktail and Fried Wontons for Starters
and, Dahi Kofta (yoghurt rolls in gravy), Pindi Channa (spicy
chickpeas) and Tandoori Roti (Indian bread) in the main course. First
came the Wontons with onion rings and they looked delicious. Waiter
offered to serve us, and put two pieces on each of our plates. There
were three types of sauces which we had never heard of, but, were
extraordinarily delicious, one of them was a sauce which had pasta in
it. Sauces made the platter look gorgeous. Wontons had crispy brown
layer on the outside and the spicy filling inside, was a perfect
combination. I tasted Wontons for the first time, they were terrific.
Now was the turn of main course. The
mouth-watering glimpse of Pindi Channa, made us all irresistible to
eat it. It's dark brown color made it look all spicy and tingy. It
was amazingly prepared and was toothsome. All the flavors were
amazingly perfect. The tandoori roti was too soft and I was tempted
to see the plate of Dahi Kofta as well, distinctive it was. The thick
gravy was very well molded with the yoghurt filling inside the balls.
The gravy had some flavors which were exceptionally great, a finest
flavorful dish I have ever had.
After the meal, my sister suggested to order Coconut Cigar. I had
never heard about it before. We were all confused to order this, but
it was, for sure, cherry on the top. It was served in a martini
glass. It had wafer sticks filled with perfectly roasted sugary
coconut kept on top of vanilla ice-cream scoops. Bliss to the
finality, it felt like heaven in my mouth.
