De Courtyard — Restaurant in Gujarat

Ambience: Provides a serene setting, ideal for spending quality time with loved ones. The ambiance is inviting, allowing for relaxation and meaningful conversations. The soft background music adds an extra touch of tranquility, enhancing the overall experience.

Staff: The staff shines with their warmth and helpfulness. As a member of the Swaminarayan community, I felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated. The team went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable, offering thoughtful suggestions and attentive service throughout our visit.

Taste: While most dishes hit the mark in terms of flavor and presentation, there were a few misses. For instance, the Tomato soup leaned towards the sweeter side, which might not suit everyone's palate. However, the Paneer Tikka Masala stood out with its rich and aromatic taste, showcasing the chef's expertise. The Buttermilk was slightly on the salty side, but adjustments could be made upon request. On the bright side, the Paneer Chilly was a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the Green Mint Mojito and Pinacolada failed to impress, lacking the refreshing burst of flavor expected from such drinks.

Overall: De Courtyard offers a charming environment for families to unwind and enjoy a meal together. While there are areas for improvement in some dishes, the overall experience is positive, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. It's a place worth visiting for a relaxing outing...

The outdoor sitting has interesting options from garden chairs to sitting down in closed cabin like enclosure space with good mix of privacy and being able to see outside through a partially transparent curtain. And a machaan like tree top seating is a fun experience. Full marks for ambience and seating options. Coming to the food the starter and red gravy pasta was yummy. The kids loved the hakka noodles and kulcha combo. Chole and daal with the combo were delicious. The main course vegetables were good. The service was definitely slow. But it was to our advantage. We had gone there with our friends and the slow service gave us ample time to catch up. There is separate counter for icecream. One of our friends recommended the guava ice cream which was fantastic. The masala on the top makes it a unique proposition. It's a must try and will definitely make your day. My four year old daughter loved the place as she got plenty of space to run around. All in all an excellent...

Half of the menu was unavailable. Their excuse, too many customers. One would assume that it would be a nice problem to have however, there is no excuse for ignorance. If you know that your restaurant is going to be packed during the holidays then hire more staff for that duration.
