The Klay — Restaurant in Haldwani

Canadian female traveling in India for 3 months. First time I ate here: Tandoori chicken - terrible, very tiny chicken with hardly any meat, kind of tough and just not flavorful. Veg spring rolls - delicious although I would have liked some sweet chili sauce for dipping. Presentation is nice but personally I prefer everything on the plate to be edible...the cabbage was dry...looked nice but not edible. I ordered the spring rolls to take away one day and they were very good. 2nd time I ate here: Ginger chicken - loved it, perfect balance of flavours, tender boneless chicken. American chop Suey - hmmm this was actually some thin sliced veggies (peppers, carrot, onion) in a light sweet and sour sauce. Also had chicken (which I didn't realize when I ordered) a couple chunks of pineapple and an egg on top...served with dry noodles. I really enjoyed the egg as I haven't had one for a long time! Flavour was a bit blah, too sweet but enjoyable enough. FYI...In Canada (which is part of America🤣😂 chop Suey is made with big chunks of veggies, onions, peppers, carrots, baby corn, water chestnuts stir fried and then a sauce added made from soya sauce, oyster sauce and a bit of ginger, slightly thickened with water and starch... basically enough to coat the vegetables. Waiter service was excellent and management definitely aims to please. Cost: worth it as I had enough left to take home for dinner! Obviously I'm a bit bored today,,,☺️🙏 Also the cold...

The restaurant looks great and has a fine ambience so we decided to stop here for lunch while en route to Bhimtal.

The Starters were very good and we had high expectations from the Main Course. However, it turned out to be a disaster.

Uncooked peas in Peas Rice 2 chicken dishes (one brown and one white gravy) tasted alike. Chicken was not marinated in the gravy. Just dropped on top after boiling perhaps. It tasted horrible. Even the dal was bad.

It was difficult to wrap up the Main Course and it spoilt the whole experience. The only explanation I can come up with is that their Chef was on leave during that post-Diwali period.

However, the management never mentioned this even after complaining to them...

Absolutely best place for a decent family dinner. Super amazing decoration both inside and outside the hotel and such a delicate menu best suited for dinner for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. And their services may take a lot of time but it's one of the most cheapest in Haldwani. Food quality is such a praise for them. Thier location is quite remarkable and thier establishment consistent of ground floor and rooftop. Thier parking plot is very spacious. Best suited for family dining or business party. On an Average you can easily spent ₹10,000 for 6-7 members. The best thing about them is that in cheap coat they provide such a great food. We already visits here twice or thrice a month. Try...
