After the whole week drill, trying to strike a balance
between professional and personal life, finally I decided to pamper myself with
a nice lunch. Now, the big question was where to go for lunch? Since I live in Crossing
Republic, it is an island in itself and after whole week running, you have no
stamina left to visit Noida or Delhi restaurants. After much contemplation, I
headed to- The Grill Restaurant.
The restaurant specialises in North Indian, Chinese and Mughlai
Food, they also have fine dining and home delivery options. I went for fine
dining and trust me guys, I was happy with my decision. For starter, I ordered
Chicken Malai Tikka and Paneer Afghani. The fill was good, Paneer Afghani was
prepared, after applying a coat of cashew nut paste. It was nicely tandoored
for 10-12 minutes; as a result the paneer soaked the cashew paste , making it
more soft and delicious. Though it is very heavy for one person, after eating
the whole platter of Paneer Afghani, one will not be able to do justice to the main
course.
Chicken Malai Tikka was yummy, it was well cooked from
inside, I was bit apprehensive before placing an order for Chicken Malai Tikka,
because at some places the outer core of the chicken is well roasted but it
remains raw from inside. Thankfully, I never faced any such problem here.
In the main course I ordered Dum Aloo and Butter Chicken,
both turned out good. I loved the way they made dum aloo, the gravy was thick
and moderately spicy. One would relish the taste, even after the dish is
finished. One point that I would like to put across is, that though the rates
are bit on a higher end, comparing it’s competitor but then the food quality is
good. One will not find that watery gravy or small meal portions, which often
leave you feel cheated. I ordered quarter butter chicken and it was enough for
one person. The gravy was thick and was made from a mixture of Tomato, Cashew
and Cream. So the chances are by the time you finish your food, you feel like
going for a nice nap.
One thing that disappointed me was the slow service. The
service is really slow, and they have to work on it. I placed an order and
waited for good half an hour before the first starter was served. Apart from
this small glitch, rest everything is good.
