Chutney, Bar + Tandoor — Restaurant in New Delhi

A very sad ending to an amazing experience in India.. the most expensive for the most mediocre meal on our entire two weeks around India.. we paid more for this meal than we would have done in New York City where we live.. for those prices, I was expecting an explosion of flavor top quality food.. we order 1 starter between the two of us, tandoori chicken.. and it was so very dry, over cooked , it was spicy which we liked.. but that's it.. as it lacked flavor.. at this point we had been walking around New Delhi for 12 hours without eating, soaking in as much as we could before we leave the next day.. so we ate it none the less.. (you'd think anything would be delicious, considering how hungry we were).. then we ordered the tandoori roti.. remembering the one we had outside the jama masjid mosque.. and this tasted nothing like it.. just used it as a bland vessel to move the very meh! food to my very hungry mouth.. Then came the prawn curry with raw mango, which I expected to be flavorful and rich in taste.. but the rice was unseasoned and the prawns chewy rubbery and overcooked and the sauce... well, that was just ok.. we also ordered a beer and a plain soda.. with tip.. we paid $56!!!!!! Remeber this was just the one starter and one entree with a side of rice.. NOT OK guys!!.. If you want tandoori chicken that will blow your mind.. leave the comfort of the hotel, go around the corner to Kebabs and roll food stall and have one of the most mind blowing experiences in your life!!. I would pay $100 for THAT meal.. but only paid $7 for 2...

What makes the food even more tasty is chutney and when the restaurant is named after our beloved love, we can vow for its taste

So one afternoon we decided to head to Chutney at Metropolitan Hotel which is done very nicely, neatly and aesthetically. It wasn't only warmly lit but also enjoys natural light. The restaurant also has a private dining area for a small get together.

Chutney restaurent has authentic dishes which have a fusion preparation with pan-Indian flavours which are served with a variety of chutneys. We tried the delectable range of chutneys including amla chutney, mint chutney, beetroot chutney, papaya chutney, kiwi chutney, tomato chutney and coconut chutney which were all so yum and colorful. Afterall they are made from rare fruits, vegetables and herbs.

The unparalleled art of bringing fusion food to another level mixing classic taste of Indian cooking and giving it a contemporary twist is amazing. The dishes we tried include Malai Brocolli which was so exotic, Malai Santra Kebab just melted in the mouth leaving us wanting for more, Tandoori Paneer and Chicken Tikka which were both outstanding in taste.

The Shahi Paneer Firdosi and Vegetable Biryani were again yum with great presentation. Both the dishes was nicely done. Paneer Firdosi is an Arabic dish wherein Firdosi means garden and this dish was presented like a garden. Daal chutney and the malabari parantha were also yum. Tasty flavours of India intact and beautifully mingled at chutney was...
