The Gourmet Kitchen — Restaurant in Mumbai

Andheri is becoming the hub of food delivery joints lately and The Gourmet Kitchen is another addition to it.

I was feeling very lazy to go out for a meal at a fancy restaurant and more than that I was lazy to cook. So I was browsing through zomato and came across The Gourmet Kitchen. The name attracted me and more than that the menu was very pleasing to my eyes as it had all my favorite dishes.

The delivery was quick and on time. The best part about their packaging is that they give in disposable plates and containers along with spoons, forks and knives. Can put the plate directly in the microwave and heat it up and eat from the same. No hassle of washing extra utensils.

Coming to what I ordered.

Rosemary Grilled Chicken :

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DISH

The moment I saw this on the menu, I knew I am going to eat this with whole lot of heart. This had a piece of chicken breast marinated in Rosemary and other mild spices and then grilled to perfection. The sauce drizzled on top is a butter garlic brown sauce seasoned well with rosemary flavor. It comes along with mashed potatoes and chargrilled broccoli. The mashed potatoes were very creamy and were seasoned well and also had a hint of garlic which gave the whole mash a different kick. I am glad I ordered extra mashed potatoes as they are my favorite with any meal.

Tandoori Chicken with Roomali :

A classic Tandoori Chicken served along with Chutney and Salad and a soft Roomali Roti.

Tandoori Chicken is my very favorite and I was very excited to try the chicken with the roomali roti. The tandoor was very well marinated with red spices and cooked to perfection. The marinade had seeped till inside and gave a very nice flavor throughout. The roomali along with the chicken tasted amazing and not at all as expected. I am in love with this dish. This is like the perfect meal and comfort food for when you are lazy like me. 😁

Fried Fish Tenders :

They use Rawas fish for this dish. They coat the outer coating with a crisp layer and then deep fry. It was very crispy even after delivery. They serve it on a bed of French Fries and mayo on the side.

Chicken Biryani :

No.Meal is complete without a Biryani amd I got the Chicken Variant. The quantity is perfect if someone is eating Biryani alone but if you are eating other things also then get ready to share. The rice is long grain basmati rice and it is mildly flavourful with spices which I feel is the best part as too much spices is not good for digestion 😁. The chicken tasted good and soft. The raita served along with it was good too.

I wish they would introduce some desserts too as for me, no meal is complete without a sweet dish.

If you are in the vicinity of The Gourmet Kitchen, do try this place out as they serve really finger licking food that is total value for money.

This has become my favorite place to order in from..

Keep it up The...

A healthy food delivery kitchen, for this generation who has suddenly started becoming conscious of their food habits (nope, not me). Healthy food joints have started coming up all over the city and does the gourmet kitchen pass the test to provide delicious healthy food?

Let’s get a break- up of their menu- they serve an extensive variety of healthy options in grills, mains, salads and sandwiches. But apart from that, they also serve burgers, juices, smoothies and quick bites.

Starting with the packaging- on point. Neat, spill free and easy to manage.

As someone who is not specifically into healthy food habits, my review is for that group of people. I tried the following dishes:

Drinks

1.Kiwi Smoothie Definitely only for the extremely health conscious. This was one item I did not like at all. It was a yoghurt based smoothie, the kiwi was sour and the flavor was bland, with more of yoghurt. I guess the no added sugar didn’t work here tastewise at all.

Appetizers

2.Fried chicken strips My kind of starter- unhealthy & fried :P Served with a mayo dip, the taste was made in true continental style: bland and crumb fried. Makes for a nice snack item with the mayo dip.

Mains

3.Grilled fish with grilled broccoli Most importantly- fresh fish !! Along with it was grilled broccoli, which was seasoned extremely well, just the chunks were too huge making it a tad bit difficult to combine with the fish while eating. Also served with sufficient brown sauce to be poured over the dish. The sauce was extremely nice and had a fresh herby fragrance.

4.Rosemary grilled chicken with grilled French beans and mashed potatoes Single chicken breast grilled and served with a brown sauce poured over it. Alongside we had perfect mashed potatoes, with no lumps, and seasoned grilled French beans. The sauce was extremely delicious, but why so less? The mashed potatoes need to be have along with the chicken or else they are tasteless as they lacked basic salt seasoning. Since the sauce was just poured onto the grilled chicken, the insides were bland. All this could be avoided by simply increasing the amount of sauce served!

The quantity for the cost is good for a single person. But the prices are on the higher side and this cannot be a regular option for the same reason. But they keep having offers & discounts and it’s definitely worth giving a try for...

I had food from this place today and it was just perfect. The packaging and the presentation of the dishes was amazing. The food was hot and cooked to perfection.

These are the dishes that I tried:

-Fried chicken steak: It's a big piece of fried juicy chicken served along with mashed potatoes, stir fried vegetables and barbecue sauce. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection, the crust was really crispy and the chicken juicy and tender inside. The mashed potatoes were really tasty and well made. If you like fried chicken steak then this is the best dish to try.

-Fried fish tenders: Its a dish with big pieces of deep fried fish. The fish was really soft and was marinated well, also the crust was really crispy. Its served with a side of fries and dipping sauce which was tasting really good along with the fish and the fries.

-Chicken biryani: This biryani was really tasty and filled with spices and flavours. The aroma of it was absolutely amazing and the first bite of the biryani just blew me away. It's served with a side of fresh cut salad and raita. The chicken was soft and juicy and the masala in the biryani was just perfect. You should definitely try this biryani.

-Chocolate smoothie: It was a refreshing chocolate smoothie which was the perfect after I was done with my meal. The chocolate flavours were well balanced along with the milky flavour and it was really rich and creamy.

I loved their food a lot and I am definitely going to try the rest of their menu. I would also recommend this place to my...
