Raanthal

I went here with the family for dinner. I thought this was a decent place to have food at. The parking can probably house three cars and a few bikes I think. The restaurant is clean. The food had sufficient portions (at least according to me although some might disagree) and was of adequate taste. The service leaves a lot to be desired for. I personally feel the problem is hiring migrant workers from the north who try their best to understand and talk in Malayalam but fail to do so. I had to keep repeating the orders and struggle to understand what they were saying. The ambience wasn’t great. It was ok. The restaurant kept playing Arjith Singh songs on repeat and it got irritating after a while. The seats weren’t big enough. I felt a bit crammed while sitting. It was hot inside. I’m not a fan of the dark and gloomy feel inside the restaurant. We had ordered egg fried rice, chilly chicken, crispy fried veg and a chocolate bomb. They brought us a welcome drink and I asked the attendant what was in it and he told me it was welcome drink and just stood there blankly staring at me. The second person I asked told me it had beetroot, lime and ginger. He seemed hesitant to talk. The food was satisfactory although the chocolate bomb felt more like the chocolate lava cake from Domino’s albeit a bit drier.
