Cocktails

Made with white rum, lime & orange juice, red wine and sugar syrup, the Sun Setter is definitely an evening drink while you gaze as the sky turns orange. Reflecting the sky in the glass, the drink too had the classic setting sun colors and had a taste to match.

Tried the Kiwi Martini which had nice strong flavors of the fruit syrup as well as the alcohol. #YumYum #HighlyRecommended

Made with Tequila, Vodka, Bacardi, Gin, Triple Sec and Old Monk & 6 Types of crush/syrups and topped with lemonade, the Beto’s Special was one potent drink [Grand Daddy of the LIIT] however could’ve had a stronger punch had the spirits been mixed better. #HighlyPotent #MustTry

Overall the drinks were pretty good however weren’t mixed well hence the delta of the potency was significant between the initial few sips and the final glugs.

Coming to the food now, we were treated to dishes across the spectrum of cuisines Beto’s deals in.

While the Potato Blini is traditionally a Russian recipe and used with caviar, the variant at Beto’s had spicy American corn and sour cream as toppings. Nice combination of flavors and made for a good first dish.

Potato Farci here had creamy cheese spinach & corn and baked with cheese. The bite provided by the crispy skin and the potato complemented the gooey cheese and spinach well. #MustTry

The Prawns in Orange Cilantro Sauce had some interesting flavors however the tanginess of the sauce could’ve been more. Thankfully the prawns were cooked through.

The Chicken Monakv, made with chicken cubes marinated in curd, coconut with Ajwain and cooked in clay oven is something I would definitely recommend. Nice juicy and tender chicken chunks and perfect marination of the curd and spices. The clay oven cooking provided a nice crisp to the edges of the meat. #HighlyRecommeded

The Fish Tai Chin had slices of fish tossed in mildly spiced black bean sauce with peppers. Overall the dish had some good flavors however the unpleasant smell emanating from the fish was a bit of a turn-off.

The Mutton Seekh Kebab luckily weren’t dried out in the middle as is the case invariably at most places and still retained some of their juiciness. However the lack of an accompanied dip was sorely felt.

Jamaican Roast Lamb was a tender leg of lamb marinated with red wine and rosemary and accompanied by sautéed vegetables. All the flavors were bang-on and not overpowering at all. Such perfection in the cooking and in the seasoning, we ended up ordering this yet again – just to satiate the carnal carnivores within us. #YumYum #HighlyRecommended

For desserts, we opted for the ubiquitous Sizzling Brownie with Ice cream. While they usually do not do that, our request for flambe-ing the same with alcohol was instantly accepted and the result is there for all to see.

Beto’s has something for everyone and for every occasion – be it a chilled out evening with friends, a romantic date with a special someone, celebrating with a large group or simply a place to let your hair down and dance your...

This place is very easy to locate as it is just on fhe side of the road and has a very huge billboard with BETO'S in it. The decor, vibe and the overall ambience of this place is okay and nothing to rave about. They have a pretty big dance floor so there is ample space to have a big party here. They also have a big bar with wide range nevertheless the drinks were below average. I ordered three mocktails; Berry berry cooler, Pina colada and Fruit punch and none of them tasted good. They weren't sweet and hardly tasted like anything.

Now on to food. I ordered 4 starters, 2 main course and one dessert. I would like to start with the starters and they are as follows. Chicken tai pai Mushroom Shanghai Paneer Mufghani Chicken roshini kabab.

My favorite out of this was Paneer Mufghani. The paneer was fresh and very creamy. It melted in my mouth. The flavor and the seasoning was very good. The other three starters were mediocre and nothing really stood out for me in them.

Now on to main course and they are as follows Chicken Lal Mash Veg diwani handi

The chicken lal mash was okay. The seasoning was fine not perfect and the chicken was dry as it was overcooked.

The veg diwani handi was again pretty mediocre. The gravy was creamy and well seasoned but the amount of veggies compared to the amount of the gravy was too much. The ratio was 3:1 and that effected the dish alot.

Now finally onto dessert. I ordered one dessert; Gulab Jamun with ice cream

This dish was very disappointing. The gulab jamun was hot not even warm and raw. I could taste the raw dough with every bite. They cooked it in a hurry and passed it off. The ice cream was store bought so that was fine. The gulab jamun was a big NO.

Apart from the food and the ambience another big part that makes or breaks any restaurant is the staff and here unfortunately the staff didn't help the case. They were absent minded and not at all attentive. I had to keep asking them about our order as they didn't give us any ETA or anything.

I gave it three stars out of five as the place has potential to turn around and be a really...

Looking for a pocket friendly bar and restaurant in kondhwa-nibm side ? Then beto’s is the only choice for you. Place with a nice dj, good food and amazing mocktails is what everyone craves for and beto’s is here to serve you all this. We went there yesterday night and it was a pretty good experience . Starting from mocktails we have ordered Virgin mojito: As usual like other restaurants nothing much better. Fruit punch: God of all mocktails. This was the main attraction. Must try one. Berry cooler: Good in taste but the presentation is exceptional Beto’s special: Extremely good at taste but still I believe that fruit punch should be named as beto’s special After having mocktails we had some starters and main course Three ball peepers paneer tikka: Seriously I never expect good food from restaurants where alcohol is served but this dish proves me wrong. Veg diwani handi: This was not upto the mark. Penne pasta in alfredo : Good in taste but again nothing much special than other restaurants Finally we had some desserts Chocolate brownie: The chocolate quantity in brownie is too less which spoiled the taste of brownie Tangle apples with icecream: Very unique concept of dessert but not that special in taste. Honey noodles: They were too okayish only the icecream quality is too good which is outsource I think. Overall a nice experience at beto’s. Again mentioning, Do try...
