The Global Savour Restaurant — Restaurant in Agra

We went for dinner. The restaurant was in the basement with no windows, there was no ambience like what some reviews claimed. We ordered a number of dishes including a mutton rosh (cannot remember the exact spelling. Anyway its the most expensive mutton curry on menu). The waiter claimed it's the best, we also repeatedly asked if it's boneless . When it came it was very salty, and full of bones. They also refused to let us return it, just took back and (we suspect) added some sugar to it then serve us again.

Apparently the waiter didn't understand English . He repeatedly asked us if we want beer when we first entered: You want beer You want beer you want beer.. ?

The naan we ordered was hard and tough. Think they didn't make fresh ones for us just reheat some stale ones from morning or yesterday.

The tandoori chicken they served were not tandoori at all it's just some reddish color fried chicken that tasted more like kfc fried chicken. It's fried chicken, I suspect they don't even have the proper equipment to make tandoori.

The last dish we ordered was the Hakka fried noodles and it was yellowish and so OILY!

When we settled the bill the restaurant apologized repeatedly and offered a 5% discount.

We came because of all the fantastic reviews on TripAdvisor but now we suspect they maybe fake reviews. We read there are professional reviewers who disguise as western tourists and go round making reviews for different vendors as a living. When this gets published we suspect there maybe tonnes of good ones on TripAdvisor ready to bury...

Please be aware that my review is only based on ONE meal here. Your experience may differ.

SUMMARY: Not a comfortable experience for me due to pushy staff.

Ambiente: * unlike on the images the restaurant is underground which was slightly disappointing. I am not sure if there is seating on the terrace or upstairs but they told me there wasn't. The furnishings etc. otherwise is fairly standard.

Service: * the two staff were a bit pushy and stood next to me while I looked through the menu asking what I wanted. I had to ask them kindly to give me a few minutes for them to leave. When I left they were insisting I return for dinner. Overall the staff was too much in your space for the time in the restaurant to be enjoyable. I am sure they meant well but I would recommend they should tone it back a little.

Food: * I had the Aloo Gobhi main which was spiced alright. The price for the main and the bread is fair compared to the...

Went to the restaurant because it was in eh same building at our hostel and it had AC. The menu has a good variety of thing for local good to Chinese and Italian.

The tea is a little more expensive but the mug are really big so you get your money worth. I had the pasta and it was good. Pretty sure the sauce was straight tomato sauce from the bottle but it's ok.. I wasn't picky. Nothing extraordinary about that meal.

The annoying aspect was the waiter. He was being really clingy and intense with my friend. He was looking at her and wouldn't leave our table after giving us the food. Made us want to leave faster... It wasn't...
