OMG! I can't believe I stay only five minutes from Element3 and had never heard of this place till someone randomly mentioned it on FB. It’s right on Sri Krishna Temple road and few minutes’ walk from the metro station. Decided to lunch here and totally fell in love with this place...it's my ideal place with food that's vegetarian - Sattvik, no onion no garlic used. This place offers North Indian and Chinese cuisine mostly. Menu is vast..lots to choose from with juices and vegan ice creams too. Atmosphere is calm and pleasant with mantras playing in the background. This review is for two visits so here goes First visit I had Masala papad: Surprisingly great considering I’ve never had this without onions. Tandoori platter: Mind blowing! I loved them all. You get a bit of all the Tandoori items sheekh kababs, Gobi, baby corn, aloo.. very delicious and yet so light. Accompanied with green chutney. Sun-kissed twilight ice cream: I loved this. Dark cocoa with orange zest bits...very different. Ram Kichidi and Malai kofta as takeaway: Ram Kichidi was warm and comforting. Their signature dish Malai kofta had raisins in it of which I wasn't a fan. For my second visit I deliberately chose Chinese just to see how it is prepared without onion and garlic because this is one cuisine I’ve never eaten with onion and garlic. I had: Thai Cigars : Very different and melt in the mouth creamy filling and oh so addictive. It's easily going to be a regular order. Good old Hakka noodles : Again never tasted Hakka noodles without onions but honestly, it got a thumbs up from me. Belgium Speculos ice cream: Which is in simple words crushed biscuit ice cream another bowl scraping, lip smacking ice cream And a third visit where it was mostly takeaway but I again had Thai cigars and strawberry ice cream at the place while waiting for parcel Ram Kichidi and dahi kabab as takeaway. Ram Kichidi I found the dal a bit off this time, but it still tasted good. Strawberry ice cream was good, not wow. Dahi kabab made for a tasty snack.
Staff is very attentive and polite. Prices are reasonable. I go on weekdays and tend to go alone so I don't find it very crowded. I'm so glad I finally found my adda. Plan to be a frequent visitor here. What could do with improvement: my only crib would be that for takeaways, especially left overs they really need to give a little something extra...sauces (green chutney especially) or the shredded cabbage etc. I got nothing. It is very low key packing. Some restaurants I have been to give sides in such a way one can replicate the restaurant eating experience at home. I do wish they'd introduce south Indian food too...not a crib but a wish. My benchmark for any place would be based on two questions Would I visit again? Definitely. Multiple times. Would I recommend to others? : It is a must visit place.. not just if in the area but go your way out and plan a visit. Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5. Ratings for reviews 1-No! No! No! 2-Just about average 3- Good. Can give it a try 4-Great!! 5-Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell...

Read moreOh my goodness, where do I even begin? I've been a loyal patron of Element3 for about a year and a half now, and I feel compelled to share my recent experience with fellow food enthusiasts.
Initially, I must confess, I had mixed feelings about the place. The taste was quite good but service left something to be desired.
But boy, oh boy, has that changed!
It had been just over a month since my last visit, and let me tell you, I was in for a big surprise!
The moment I walked in, I could sense a shift. Gone was the old menu that I had grown accustomed to, replaced by an exciting array of new dishes that made my taste buds tingle with anticipation.
And the staff! It was like night and day – so many fresh faces, all eager to provide top-notch service.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but can we talk about the complimentary papad for a second?
What a delightful way to start the meal! It's these little touches that really elevate the dining experience, don't you think?
But let's get to the main event – the food. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the quality and quantity have improved by leaps and bounds.
The flavors danced on my palate, and the portions were so generous that I left feeling thoroughly satisfied (and maybe a tad too full, but in the best way possible).
You know, it's funny. Before, I used to come to Element3 only for the food, but let down by other factors. But now?
Now, the food has become even bigger a star of the show! It's become the show stopper along with the fresh faces in service, the highlight of the entire experience.
The ambiance, which was always a strong point, seems to have gotten even better. It complements the new menu perfectly, creating a harmonious dining atmosphere that's hard to beat. I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and welcome throughout my visit.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a place that combines amazing food with a fantastic ambiance, look no further than Element3.
I'm beyond thrilled with the changes they've made, and I can't wait to go back. It's not just a meal; it's an experience – one that I'm eager to repeat as soon...
