The Yellow Chilli — Restaurant in Assam

To begin, I am a diehard fan of North Indian mughlai cuisine. Since it was our first time, we wanted to try out the usual, butter chicken, some assortment of naan, kulcha and rumali roti. There were Bengali cuisines as well, which took me back to my Kolkata days, so I ordered fish fry, kosha mangsho. Fish fry, the batter was thick in my opinion, the ones I ate in Kolkata had light batter which was perfect, not too crispy and not too soggy, just right to compliment the softness of the fish. Usually in Kolkata they use Betki fillets, i don’t know which fish they used, but it was ok. butter chicken, which I thought can’t go wrong since it’s Sanjeev Kapoor’s, tasted overpoweringly sweet and tangy. The ones I tasted in Delhi or in any truck driver’s Dhaba was creamy, buttery, with slight hint of acidity, not at all overpowering. It’s butter and chicken, I think that’s the ingredient that should shine. -kosha mangsho, I must say the quality of the mutton was good and it was cooked well. The meat was fall apart tender, kudos to the chef. However, I feel the gravy could have been better, I think the philosophy of kosha mangsho, is to cook the mutton longer and render the meat with the gravy, so that not just the meat but the gravy too stars the dish. I think the ones I tried, the gravy didn’t taste muttony at all. The gravy was not smooth but it was coarse and lumpy. breads were ok, could have been better service, I think the waiters were nice and friendly. However on a couple of occasions, they were so eager to take our plates away. When we have taken the last morsel I feel the customers should be given some time to catch a breather before their plates are whisked away. For a moment I felt they want us to leave immediately. ambiance was the best part of the restaurant. The moment you enter, you feel a sense of calmness and...

1of the worst place in entire Guwahati in terms of service. Reach the restaurant tonight with my wife at around 8.45 pm and after 5 min gave order for starter ( non veg mixed grill half along with 2 mocktail namely fruit loose). After that we asked the waiter to take order for the main course at around 8.52pm. The waiter in replied that wait for a minute will take the order. But to utter surprise he did not appear till 9.15 pm.Then again called and asked the waiter to take order for main course and this time too he waited us too long and didn't came up to take the order. Then at around 9.40pm the starter appear and when we asked wait will happen to our main course order will any one take it or not there was no response from this waiter too. Then upon again I asked for the manager who was inside the kitchen after some minute he appeared and when I asked him that whether we have wait whole night to gave order for main course he gave the replied that it is the policy of the restaurant that they take order of main course only after starter is being served. Then I said the manager then order for desert will b taken after main course is served? To serve us the started he took 1hour after 1hour he will take order for main course that will definitely take more then 1hour and if I order deserts after that then I guess I will get it at around midnight. He then without having any food left the restaurant.
