The Society Restaurant is an ideal match for your fine dine needs ticking all the right boxes. Recently was in the mood for some top notch Continental food and being in that vicinity, looked no further than this place.

To start off with, we were served some crackers with Salsa as nibbles and also a portion of home made bread with butter which made waiting for the actual order quite easy. 😉

Following that we were served some inhouse special non alcoholic drinks which were amazing to sip on. We had :

Spicy Guava : The signature inhouse mocktail was served in champagne glass consisting of a thick blend of strong guava mix with a spice kick. Really enjoyed it for it's uniqueness !

Orange Crush : Another inhouse drink, this one was full of orange pulp pure giving you a very raw orangey feel proportionately mixed with some sugar and citrusy elements. The texture was bitey due to the crushed ice in the drink which made it refreshing !

The food menu is well curated by the head chef bringing most of the varied continental dishes and flavours under one roof. Huge fan of the descriptive, well written elements of the menu which make ordering very customizable suiting your tastebuds. We went for a full meal which included :

Cream of Mushroom Soup : Super smooth and delightful, the soup was just the perfect start to our meal. We had it with the bread stick which complemented the soft mushroom flavour wonderfully !

Chicken Olivetti : A classic Italian chicken skewered dish which was optimally grilled feeling smokey and packing a nice bite. The dish was presented beautifully topped with olives and cherries, served with a side of fresh house salad and tapenade.

Teekha Jhinga : Chargrilled and tandoored scrumptiously, these king prawns were fresh and a joy to eat. The spice mix was hitting but not too overwhelming making it the right choice for an appetising sea food starter. Loved the crunchy tails as well !

Braise Chiliean Seabass : A thick cut fillet of seabass grilled served along with veggies and a super silky lipsmacking wine-lime-butter sauce. We opted for a base of mashed potatoes and herbed rice to go along with the soft well textured fish but the sauce here was the star of the show !

Chicken Diane : Continental food formula here too, two huge pieces of chicken breast as steak grilled nicely with a base of mashed potatoes topped with rich mushroom sauce and veggies for the balance. We also ordered a side of crispy salted fries which went amazingly well with the whole plate. A lovely wholesome dish !

Creme Brulee : Great dessert and loved the epic portion size. Looked pretty, tasted sumptuous with a satisfying crunch on the top layer and a super consistent creamy inner one. Must order !!!

Crepe Suzette : This looked so enticing and different on the menu that we decided to give it a try. The dish was truly continental and fancy with a light fluffy crepe folded in a watery brandy infused orange sauce lit in front of us on our table. The dish itself was super zesty and tangy mainly due to the brandy and orange mix but was balanced beautifully by the next level inhouse vanilla ice cream. Go for it if you are looking for something unique and some really strong on the tongue flavours ! 😋

Overall, The Society Restaurant treated us to a wonderful lunch full of some filling continental dishes and some great hospitality leaving it's mark on us. Had an amazing time and would surely recommend...

A place that will take you back to the vintage Mumbai (Bombay)

The Society one of the restaurants and part of ambassador hotel, is very classy and has very soothing ambience. We went to this place for a Saturday Lunch and we spent almost 3 to 4 hours talking, enjoying food and drinks.! Definitely one of the best place which will make you indulge in your conversations with friends, family and you won't realize the time.!

Talking more about Ambience, the society is a fine dine restaurant which makes you super comfortable in terms of seating! Beautiful bar counter, some green plants in corners and overall calmness flows through the place.!

Staff and Service! Mr. Om just made our day by that warm welcome with a big smile on his face. Staff at this place was very polite and well trained. Service was satisfying.!

Food and Drinks! Place offers a wide range of continental and oriental cuisines.! We just tried their oriental menu and it was satisfying overall. We could try few dishes, everything was prepared with fresh and high quality ingredients.!

Som tam - a very popular raw papaya salad with some cherry tomatoes and lot of spices.! Yeah, this is medium spicy salad with lot of health benifits.! If you haven't tried this one yet, go for it.!

Clear wonton soup - soup was good overall only thing I found wrong according to me was excessive layers of wonton in the soup.! If that could be little lesser would make it perfect. Taste wise it was perfect.!

Cottage cheese & Mushroom in Ginger chilly sauce - fresh cottage cheese and juicy mushrooms tossed perfectly in hot and spicy ginger chilly sauce, served piping hot, this was absolutely delightful.

• Highly Recommended *

Dimsums (shu mai style) - open head dimsums make it easy to stuff with sauces of choice and were perfectly steamed with fresh veggies stuffing.! Taste wise it was upto the mark.!

Eggplant cakes in hot bean sauce - so many dishes are there which would change your perception about eggplant.! This is one of them.! Those deep fried cakes were perfectly crisp and hot bean sauce was just enhancing taste like anything.! Overall a delicious dish.!

Waterchestnut in a sweet bean sauce - who all are fans of waterchestnuts? Don't miss this super delicious mains with juicy waterchestnuts and sweet bean sauce. Goes very well with the fried rice.!

Veg. Fried Rice - to accompany waterchestnuts and eggplant cake we ordered a veg friend rice. It was perfect fried rice I would say! Vegetables and rice everything in appropriate proportion.!

Whatever the scenario may be! There is always space for some desserts.! The Society has few unique and delightful desserts.!

Fried pan cakes - pan cakes stuffed with dates and deep fried! Served along with chocolate decor.! Tastes amazing and that crispness makes it more enjoyable.! Loved the presentation.!

Overall, a very calm place with some delicious otiental and continental delicacies. A good place for casual and...
