Mike and Aleya Rowland want to thank every member of the Tre-Forni team that were passionate and committed to excelling themselves, preparing a Christmas day lunch that was a feast to the eyes and taste buds.
The moist and succulently cooked turkey was perfection, as were the breads and grill counter. From the quality of the meats and seafood to the preparation, in particular the pork belly with crispy golden crackling, it was a joy to all at our table. So was the cured meat counter, the starters (in particular, the broccoli rissoles), duck brochettes. The prawn cocktail was missing the cocktail sauce, though, yet we'd feasted so heartily, to our regret we never made it to the cheese counter at the end (which was presented beautifully, though missing Stilton or blue cheese, my English husband noted).
The only counter that could have done with a higher standard was the dessert counter. As the breads had been fantastic, I was expecting a top level in desserts. I am a pudding and dessert enthusiast, and should my input be required as to how it could have been better, I am willing to meet with your pastry chefs and lead them to achieving a higher standard. That would have completed, what for us, was the perfect experience.
However, noting the late government directives green light, we understand there were some last minute decisions on the menu execution. Despite the desserts, we were thrilled with the overall experience, and have now considered getting a membership card with you in the new year. A special thank you to Pritam, who served us indefatigably and with faultless attention. Once again, a superb team effort, down to everyone who performed behind the scenes. It was the best decision we made, to trust our Christmas feast to your team.
Bravo!

Read moreWe went for the Sunday Brunch. It is pricey but we knew that beforehand, so not going into the pricing aspect any further in this review.
The starters were spectacular - well and truly. Imported cold cuts, cheese, a whole lot of salads, hot starters and such made it a terrific starter spread.
The pizza was ok. Nothing to say I'd go back for it.
The main course though was a downer in many regards. It fails me that barely warm food is placed into massive crock-pots to just sit there and lose all the taste.
The grills were poor. Some lamb chops were delicate whereas others were rubbery. Pork ribs were cooked well in advance but just sat out there in the open to lose all flavor. Prawns weren't great either.
Pastas. The guy serving the pasta couldn't hold the serving spoon. The pastas are served to your table after it going from table to table. It never comes hot to your table despite multiple requests. So I went and stood next to the chef. Only saving grace was the mushroom ravioli. The seafood linguine had no flavor and you get no seafood in the serving.
Desserts. This is something you can skip entirely. This is as cheap as it gets. Not one worth a mention.
Service was just ok. If I could suggest, I'd say to only have the starter spread and leave the rest on a made-to-order menu so people can get fresh mains. Same for desserts, have three of four excellent options than a useless twenty.
Dear management, I know you tried your best and I think this as high as you can go but sadly it wasn't an experience worthy of a repeat. Please offer more personalized service to those who want to be treated well. I expected you to cradle me, instead you abandoned and left me...
Read moreWe just went to Tre-Forni for Valentines Day dinner and could not recommend it more. The place might be one of the few genuine fine dining restaurants in the city at the moment.
For our dinner we passed on the set menu and chose to go for the a la carte menu instead. Our order was for the Spaghetti Carbonara with Pork pancetta & parmesan cheese and the Lasagna with lamb ragout and bechamel sauce. This wasn't much but we know that the pasta here is rich and quite filling.
It turned out to be a great call as we barely managed to finish both dishes. This wasn't a large meal by any means but we really enjoyed the quality of the dishes. The lasagna clearly won the day with the rich cheese and cream sauce. The spaghetti was not far off but the lasagna just was better.
We finished off with an order of the nutella gelato. Our first choice of pistachio flavor was sold out. But we need not have worried as the nutella gelato was absolutely creamy and delicious. By the time we were done we were absolutely content and ready to ask for the cheque.
We did not order any drinks as I was driving. We also try to stay away from sugar based mocktails so we just had water with our meal as our only beverage. And to be honest we didn't feel like we missed out. The food more than made our meal and we left very happy with our meal.
Our food bill came to a relatively reasonable Rs 3,000 change. Tre-Forni once again delivered on a quality meal that was very enjoyable.
For a high end fine dining experience - highly...
