Pickwick — Restaurant in New Delhi

Given all the positive reviews, we had always wanted to try the high tea at Pickwicks, so my daughter chose it as a special treat for Father’s Day.

Went there with my elderly mother and daughter and I appreciated how they offered a wheel chair as soon as we got off the car. My mum was able to walk to the restaurant, but it was a thoughtful gesture nonetheless.

We ordered two high teas to share amongst the three of us. We began with some lemon cake and cookies while we waited for the main treat. They were tasty and fresh.

Then we received the three tiers of sandwiches, pastries and scones. The sandwiches were delicate and flavorful: cucumber, chicken and egg. The only disappointment was the salmon wrap, which had a chewy texture that stuck to our teeth.

The scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam were supposed to be the highlight of the high tea, but they fell short of our expectations. The scones had a bitter aftertaste, the clotted cream lacked the richness and consistency of the authentic one, and the strawberry jam was too bland. Overall, I would give it a 3 out...

Unfortunately I will not return to the Claridges restaurants unless serious amends are made. Truly very disappointed and teary eyed to write this review about the...

We went as a group to 14 , it was surprising to find them cheating on the VEEN bottled mineral water , as we ordered still water and the cap was found of sparkling , which is impossible, we found this as the water tasted of tap water, on enquiring they accepted it as mistake but didn’t give in written. It means someone is filling the bottle in the kitchen with tap water, we verified the bottle number from manufacturer and they confirmed that it was sent ok from their end .

So please se be aware of the scam of bottled mineral water and have the seal opened in...
