The Gourmet LAB — Restaurant in Gujarat

Let me start with good things first. It’s a beautiful cafe with option for outdoor seating. The coffee selection and food options are quite unique and refreshing. However, the downside is pricing. It is extremely expensive when you compare it with portion size and most importantly quality. For example we had ordered 2 Vietnam iced coffee. First of all the ingredients mentioned in the menu especially base of condensed milk was missing. Secondly both coffee tasted different and looked different ! Another example of let down was a simple dish of nachos. Since we had a preference for dip, we asked them to serve nachos simply and provide guacamole dip only (not salsa and cheesy). Both separately. The nachos served were prepacked ones served in plate. We ordered two portions and guess what were we charged ! INR 840 bucks for simple cornitos style nachos and INR 600 for guacamole dip !!!! In all INR 1440 + taxes for nachos and dip !!! My friend who had stayed in US for half of his life got appalled at the pricing stating even US doesn’t have this kind of pricing !!! We tried to reason out with staff how could a dip asked to served separately can cost extra 600 bucks and they helplessly and non- chalantly responded stating that’s how it’s there in the billing system. I would request everyone who goes there, check the menu, ask for clarification if you are asking for even most obvious and simple customization. And please check your bill as well we also got items which we never ordered even though we had gone at an odd time with not many guests around. To sum it, I am not sure about reviews here but the pricing, the quality and staff behaviour/indifference is what will prevent me to go here again. We felt cheated since we shelled out an amount which can even embarrass...

Been there twice now, and this place doesn't disappoint. It is a great menu (though I was told today by the attendant that the menu is changing). The splattering of Mediterranean, Italian (some pastas and pizzas) and Mexican, along with the egg options, are a great mix.

The food quality comes across as impressive. The quality of the ingredients is clearly good, ans sensitively chosen. For example the labneh is nicely mildly herbed. The EV olive oil used for the garnish (which they are happy to provide extra on the side if requested) of the labneh and hummus is flavorful and rich. The pear and camamebert tartine is delicately drizzled with honey, with a delicate touch of cinnamon. The muhammarah was richly flavored, but definitely could be less hot than it was. The dark hot chocolate is rich and satisfying.

The service is courteous, with friendly staff who are happy to answer questions on the preparations, and are willing to accommodate modifications. And the feel of the restaurant is relaxed, casual - for a good chilled-out meal or snacks or even some juces/beverages.

Parking at the venue is easy (at least as of now) - that is another plus to go here. And the destination has got a splattering of lovely eating joints.

On the whole, I'd...

Ok so three of us went here yesterday About the atmosphere its was like ok, as its not proper dine in It has racks for imported grocery- coffee, chocolates , drinks, and much more We were seating inside around 6/7 tables of 4 types seating. Found a place at 1:30 pm - glad. So we ordered matcha - coconut one was nice and unique with coconut pulp pcs inside. The other sunset matcha was also new ok types. Food wise - risotto was ok filling also a lil salty like the mushroom spinach soufle omlette. Though the omlette was super fluffy- very nice but the stuffing had a lil more salt then required but tasty recipe. Burrate pizza was ok- nothing topnotch.server was new. We had to ask for cutlery. Repeats on order++ also they forgot to add an item in the invoice which we had to tell them....
