The Night Jar Reloaded — Restaurant in Jaipur Municipal Corporation

What do we say about this place...Our words wouldn't just suffice the way this place makes us feel. It's always a pleasure going there. Starting right from the unique and novel greenhouse like decor concept to their newly introduced breakfast menu, everything is put together in just the right way. A few months ago, we celebrated our birthday there and a few days ago, we again went there and still felt like its the first time we are experiencing this place. Reason being they have multiple seating options inclusive of: The rooftop sitting under the plantation overhead. From this place, one can have a bird's eye view of the location in its entirety.The second sitting is on the base floor of the cafe but it has a really high roof with again the plantation hanging overhead. It gives a feel of alfresco space yet covered with a roof.Their AC sitting which we never really tried because the sitting on the outside is a lot more dreamy and mesmerizing irrespective of the absence of AC. Few other fixtures in nooks and crannies underneath the step style plantation. Coming on the food and the drinks, we tried their recently launched platters and these were just superb. Thoughtfully designed combos, adequate quantity, premium quality, luscious flavours, availability of both veg and non-veg options and the perfect combination of gravies and dry meals.This range can now save us from the cumbersome task of deciding what to eat. Just choose a cuisine and order a combo and you are good to go. They will serve you portions of the top meals from that cuisine on one single platter. The plating was superb too. Final verdict- Must visit this place for an amazing morning brekkie with...

Location

Located in grand chanakya hotel (MI road) this is an awesome happening place. They offer valet parking so you need not to worry about parking.

Ambience

Beautiful decorated place. Nice ambience. Sitting is divided in two sections. They also provide live music on some days.

Service

Staff was courteous. We had no issues regarding service. Even the place was full still they served us properly.

•••••FOOD•••••

This is the most important part.

They provide a wide variety of drinks both alcholic & non alcoholic . Food menu also have variety.

So here are the things we ordered -

Peanut masala - It was good in taste. But was served in small bowl that was overloaded. When we tried to use spoon peanuts were falling on the table. We were not able to keep the spoon in that bowl. It was bit irritating and careless on there behalf. We asked for a quarter plate to divide it in 2 portions so that we can eat it. +++++They must change the serving bowl. ++++++

White pasta -

It was pathetic.... Worst i have ever had. It was so liquid. No flavour nothing.

Cesar salad - it was good.

Pizza - perfect.

One more salad we had it was also good.

Handi vegetable - nice flavour. Good taste.

Sizzler - it was also very nice.

Drinks were also up to the mark.

Over all we had a good time. Would...

Quite underwhelming experience. .. 2 stars only cz the place and the vibe is good. Food taste is nice .. music is a little loud tbh.. but the real disappointments were

The staff is too cold to attend you.. you don’t at all get the feel of belonging. Don’t have the ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ attitude towards customers. Pretty bad user experience.

Maybe I’m wrong on this but anywhere in India, i have never paid extra amount for the take away food which is my own leftover order. But guess what, here they would charge you 50Rs. if you want your left over food to pack and take away.

Pretty disgusting fact was when we agreed for the take away and ask them to pack the food, the waiter or the attendant used his hands (uncovered with gloves) to pack the food. He literally touched our food with the bare hands. Had my foreigner friend with me dinning out at this restaurant earlier tonight and she pointed that out to me and asked me to leave the food there itself as she wouldn’t eat it since the waiter has used his hands to lift each of the food item from the plates and put it in the box.

This is for the restaurant managers: Not asking to reinvent the wheel but have these basic checks at your restaurant to leave good authentic and vibrant Indian impression on...
