Location: 1st floor, Aureole Hotel, Andheri East. It is equidistance from Andheri railway station as well as the western express highway.
Ambiance: The seating is cozy and the place is well lit up. The walls are well decorated with colorful plates and the overall look is very pleasant.
Service: The service is exceptionally well. A special mention to Sanjay Puri, the restaurant manager in-charge. Not only was he curtious and warm, but highly knowledgeable about every possible dish on the menu. So we decided to go ahead with his recommendation and it didn't disappoint us.
Mocktails: 1)Watermelon & Mint cooler: Firstof all, kudos to the bartender to present such a gorgeous and stylish looking drink. As the name says, it's a combination of fresh watermelon and mint. A perfect drink to quench your thirst during hot summer's.
2)Black currant cooler: Chuncks of black grapes along with soda and mint is surely a simple, yet delicious combination.
Appetizers: 1)Baked Jacket Potatoes: Medium sized potatoes cut into half and loaded with a scrumptious mix. The potatoes were soft and baked to perfection. The oozing cheese on the potatoes and crispy nachos, surely takes the dish to another level. These are served with a sour mayonnaise dip and a pretty pink color rosemary dip. The choice and flavours of the dips can surely be reconsidered by the chef.
2)Lahori Paneer Tikka: I've always been a huge fan of paneer tikkas and couldn't control myself from ordering one here too. I've got to say, that the Lahori paneer tikka here, has by far been the best that I've ever tasted. The paneer chuncks were well marinated with a strong flavour of the tandoori masala and had a good level of spice, which surely differentiates this one, from the rest of the paneer tikkas available elsewhere.
3)Fiesta Nachos: This is a fusion mix of the mexican tacos and a filling of Chinese, the one similar to paneer chilly. The fusion worked well for me and i loved the taste. This is further topped with cheddar to enhance the taste.
Main course: 1)Naan turnover- Paneer Makhanwala: A rich gravy of Paneer Makhanwala is loaded into a naan making it appear like a naan pocket. I believe the inner layer of the naan, also had a coating of cheese which complimented the flavours really well. Although, I believe the gravy was a bit more than required and the naan should have been cooked a bit more.
2)Oriental Vegetable Pizza:Perfectly crispy thin crust pizza base, with well seasoned and precooked toppings of Baby corn, capsicum, onion, broccoli and an adequate amount of cheese.
Desserts: 1)Sizzling brownie with Vanilla ice-cream: If you have a sweet tooth, then, this would suffice only one person as it is smaller in size. The taste was well balanced, neither sweet nor bitter. To add to the flavours, the brownie is placed on a slice of canned pineapple, which surely enhanced the taste.
Note: This is a Pure Vegetarian restaurant. It serves alcohol at fairly decent price.
