Republic of Noodles a Fine dining pan Asian restaurant which is an integral part of Lemon Tree premier hotels is close to decade-old brand & well known for its oriental, Pan Asian cuisines. The beauty of this place is it always re-invents itself to give the best to their patrons. One such effort has gone into curating a new menu by Chef Sambhav and trust me that’s delectable.

Oriental style décor with red shades all over which has both indoor and outdoor comfortable seating which can accommodate close to 100pax.

Going by the name STARTers, be it the shredded chicken mushroom soup or the spinach ginger soup, set an expectation how the new menu would be. Both of them are on the right note of consistency and flavors inline to the ingredients.

Carrying the expectations Tori Kastu Chicken and Ebi Furai (panko crusted prawns) stood as the right example of crispiness paired up with apt sauces. Pla neung Manao another stupendous starter from Non-Veg starters which is a steamed Vietnamese basa fillet accompanied with lemon garlic sauce. Tofu with Chilli paneer, Exotic mushroom spinach and Thai ginger & Tempura crunchy straw mushroom tossed in grounded black pepper sauce was equally delicious.

There were times where the expectations were raised and suddenly pushed down.. fingers crossed and looked at what we got in Mains. The first thing that caught my attention was the Clay Pot Curries, that are Burmese chicken curry with lime and potato & Thai green curry vegetable. They lived up to the attention and went well with Jasmine rice.

Moving on, picked the Wok-Stir Fries and trust me I didn’t need jasmine rice or noodles to accompany it with. Just had it directly. Stir-fried chicken with cashews and dried chilli in oyster sauce & Pot roasted Lamb from Non-veg were excellent. A special mention goes to Broccoli and mushroom in bean curd sauce. Creamy crunchy with subtle flavors.

From the Noodles and rice category, I have tasted wok tossed ginger soba with roasted duck, pad siew – flat rice noodles, Mind and Basil Fried rice & Pineapple fried rice with chicken. Although all stood great, I totally felt different and enjoyed the Pineapple fried rice which is so well made to retain the taste of sweet tangy pineapple and yet taste like a typical fried rice.

Finally comes the star of the day and as I always say, I hold space for desserts. The homemade hand churned ice-creams made in-house by Chef Bibhuti has entirely taken our experience at the end to the next level. Totally 8 new different flavors of ice-creams that I first tasted in my life and I can say each one is special in its own way. Definitely one will find hard to know the ingredients from the taste. The most interesting part for me was the way they achieved after taste spice hit and flavors. Though it costs you 150rs per scoop they are totally worth it. OUT OF THE BLUE out of all was outstanding for me followed by Ron Spl.

From my personal experience I have seen people not understanding what goes well with what in Pan Asian cuisine and hesitate to ask, ending up messing the dining experience. So, I would suggest not to hesitate to ask staff for suggestion and help.

Tip – RON is partnered now with Zomato Gold, Gourmet Passport that gets you flat 50% discounts irrespective of the day in the operations hours of the restaurant which will allow you to taste more in nominal price.

Overall it was a pleasing experience and pleasure in tasting a well-curated menu. Well done RON and kudos to the Chefs behind...

We, not rich people, went to this place on a Friday around 1 pm for lunch to have a " fine dining experience". We had been there once, before covid and at the time the experience was very very good. Looking at google reviews, it looks like they are maintaining it, no harm in revisiting. Let's splurge a bit. Shah Goushe will give a super jumbo mutton mandi for Rs 1300 which can feed 4 people twice, but for fine dining we have to go here na. This time, we went there, one experience we got, just not a fine dining one.

For eg - We ordered one soupy noodles, knowing that its main course, but it looked soupy, we thought let's have that as soup as and share it as 1/2 and then get one main course to again share it to finish our meal. So the soupy noodles arrives. The picture on their online menu showed a boiled egg, cut in half, with its white and yellow nicely visible and that is what made the whole dish pop out which is what tempted us to order to in the first place. I am sure some very expensive chef came up with this presentation for this reason. When it arrived in front of us, in 2 bowls, the boiled egg is not there on both the bowls and we immediately noticed it. We were like, this doesn't look like what we saw in the menu, where is the boiled egg presentation and the guy is like, you guys asked for 1/2, so he decided to take off the boiled egg. Sigh. He clearly did not get the memo on what fine dining means or maybe he thought, boiled egg, that you go home and eat… The fine dining guys can't be bothered to put one more half of a boiled egg. So if we had it as the main meal, they would boil one egg, cut it into half and then throw the other half? What?

There was another review that steamed fish and glassy noodles was very good. The day we went, it was not good. I guess, everyday is not the same, so its okay.

This we found to be too too much : for Water, they placed a Rs 22, 1L bottle, some local brand, on the table and poured it into our glass. And when the bill arrives, it's charged as a Rs 99 "serviced water". At least they can invest on some fancy looking pitcher and pour this very safe local brand Rs 22 water in it and then have charged it like this. We could have imagined, that probably some was pristine water from the Himalayan untouched snow or something. Totally worth it.

And where are all the people? No one was there, other that one another couple. Does everyone go here only for dinner?

I guess the interiors and all that were very good. But it's difficult to appreciate it after this experience.

No idea what is going on. If you see this review, and care,...

If you are really craving for some Pan Asian cuisine, you must head to REPUBLIC OF NOODLES located in lemon tree premiere hotels, hi-tech City. Talking about the ambience you are welcomed with a long Buddha statue along with al the noodles, sauces they use. This place can easily accommodate around 50-60 ppl at a time. The staff here was so courteous and professional too. I was here with my fellow foodies for the gourmet passport event. Let's check out what they have in store.

Food :-

We were welcomed with Jasmine tea which was so refreshing & soothing. Then we had a welcome drink along with that "KOREAN WATERMELON CUBE" where watermelon is cut into cubes and stuffed with nuts to get the crunchy feel to it. You will be getting both sweetness & crunchiness both at a time.

Starters :-

For starters we had "TOFU WITH CHILLI PEPPER" which was truly amazing. Tofu tossed well in chilli pepper sauce to get the spiciness in it. Next we had "TEMPURA CRUNCHY STRAW MUSHROOM" also tasted good. Next we had was "PLA NEUNG MANAO" it's a fish based starter. Fish is perfectly steamed along with garlic & spices to balance the palates. Presenting was on top notch. Eat it when it is piping hot. Or else you will miss the flavours of it. Next we had "TORI KATSU" is an chicken based starter which comes all the way from Japanese cuisine. Chciken breast is sliced into rectangular slab and marinated with spices and panko bread crumbs and deep fried until it's golden brown. It tasted good and subtle in flavours.

For Soups we had "THAI Coriander & vegetable soup with garlic flakes" tasted amazing. "Prawn & Spinach ginger soup flavoured with rice wine" tasted amazing as you will be getting hardness of ginger here and there. Prawns were also very well cooked. Next we had "STIR FRIED CHICKEN" where the chicken is marinated well with spices and tossed well with cashew & dried chilli in oyester sauce. "PAD SIEW FLAT RICE NOODLES WITH GARLIC" also tatsed amazing.

Next we had "SRILANKAN CURRY VEGETABLES" which was rich in coconut milk, srilankan spices which was a relishing dish to have. Next was "BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY WITH LIME & POTATO" which tasted amazing & relishing. Next we had "Pineapple Fried Rice" where fried rice tossed up with fresh cut pineapples to get the sweetness to the dish. Jasmine rice also tasted good. For desserts we had "Water chestnuts & longan in coconut milk" the presentation was on top notch. Down there were chestnuts soaked in rose water & coconut milk topped with longan (kind of berry almost tastes...
