*REVIEW IS BASED ON...

I had the pleasure of dining at FoodLord recently with my father, and our experience, while encompassing a variety of elements, left us with both positive and constructive observations.

Upon our arrival at 8 pm, the establishment was bustling, and we were gracefully ushered to a ground-floor seating area by a helpful server. The overall ambiance was pleasing, although we did encounter some disruption from rather boisterous neighbors. Additionally, the air conditioning breeze near our table was quite robust, impacting our dining comfort.

The classic menu, while elegantly designed, lacked the detailed descriptions one might expect from a premium establishment. Our culinary journey commenced with the tomato soup shorba, promptly served within 10 minutes. While I found the flavors delectable, my father perceived a subtle dullness in taste.

Transitioning to the main course, featuring Veg Kolhapuri, 2 naan, and 1 Jeera Rice, the wait extended to approximately 20 minutes. Inquiring about the restaurant’s history with the server, we learned of its shift to a veg-only menu post-Covid. The naan, served piping hot, posed a challenge as it could easily lead to a burnt tongue. The Veg Kolhapuri, while flavorful, did bear the burden of an excess of salt, affecting the overall taste profile.

Upon concluding our meal, we patiently awaited the bill, which took around 15 minutes to materialize. The total invoice, amounting to around 1000 rupees for two, prompted us to reflect on the perceived value in relation to our dining experience.

While the staff exhibited cordiality and hospitality throughout, the ambiance’s noise levels and the variance in food quality left room for improvement. I would respectfully suggest a focus on addressing noise disturbances and a reconsideration of pricing for a more balanced dining experience. Regrettably, I am unable to offer a current recommendation for FoodLord until these aspects are thoughtfully reconsidered. I trust that these reflections, offered with sincerity, contribute to the ongoing refinement of the dining experience...

For starters, we went for Hara bhara Kebab and Shanghai Cottage cheese. The Paneer starter was something new and good (mild spice).

For main course, we went for Matka Dum Biryani. A biryani with a nice masala of assorted veggies and paneer. Liked it.

We finished it with Masala chaas, which was fine.
