Rohini & Pitampura have never had their share of fine dining restaurants and thus always have a lot of potential in that aspect. CUE perfectly took this opportunity up and is now one of the few fine dine restaurants operating in the area. Being on a look out of such places around my house, I planned to visit them for a family dinner.
Located on the first floor of a mall, the approach is not very impressive due to the liquor shops and a couple of cheap bars surrounding it. But once you take the lift, it’s a different story altogether. The place is designed very elegantly and the designing scream premium. The view from the tables at near the glass walls is just beautiful. There’s plenty of parking available around the mall which is a big plus.
We began our dinner with “Pudina Paneer Tikka” & “Chilli Soya Nuggets with Pepper”. The paneer tikka was grilled to perfection and the pudina marination was great too. The veggies along with the cottage cheese were properly grilled too and the overall package with the mint sauce was simply terrific. The Chilli Soya Nuggets with Pepper were from their Chinese appetizers section and were a bit on the spicier side. The soft soya pieces cooked in a lip smacking sauce with a mix of bell peppers and onions were like a welcome change from the usual chilli paneer. We also tried their “Sriracha Tandoori Momos” which were a bit disappointing. The momos were served in a similar way to the paneer tikka. The momos’ filling wasn’t very good and thus the dish as a whole didn’t appeal much.
Moving to the main course which was actually the better part of our meal, we ordered a “Paneer Lababdar” along with a “Dal Makhani”. The paneer lababdar had a magnificent gravy along with generous amount of cottage cheese. Though it was topped with a lot of cream which could have been reduced a bit. The Dal Makhani was as usual at its best and was very consistent. A couple of stuffed breads complemented the gravies quite nicely.
We paired our meal with a “Cold Coffee with Ice Cream” & a “Virgin Mojito”. The drinks were not very impressive and could have been a lot better. The virgin mojito was over sweet even after asking them to keep the sweetness level low and the cold coffee was served at room temperature.
We ended our meal with a fabulous “Chocolate Dome Brownie” which had a half dome covering a very gooey brownie, vanilla ice cream and nuts. A steward poured hot chocolate over the dome forcing it to melt and the whole combination simply made our day.
The service was a bit slow to start with and our appetizers took an eternity to reach us but post that everything got settled in and rest of the dishes reached our table quite fast. The servers otherwise are very polite and serve very efficiently. The person stationed at the entrance is more like a bouncer and you would want a smiling and a polite person welcoming you to the restaurant which was not the case here.
Overall, CUE undoubtedly proved to be one of the best fine dine restaurant in the vicinity. Being pure vegetarian, it entices majority of the population in the area and with a dearth of options available, this one is truly a winner....
Read moreThey served stale food and even no one is going to agree even mr. Bajaj floor manager was very rude and even he has no regret and harsh in language, we left our all food and paid complete invoice value without having food , even we are 13 people dining and even he didn't react because he doesn't know the hospitality I was asking the owner number mr. Deepak but he didn't give at least mr. Deepak the owner of cue should not the behaviour of his manager Before they served stale garlic bread and even yellow daal was weird and smelly.
Even imagine we paid complete bill without having our food and then go to the pikwik restaurant near to cue and food was very good. we realised, this was our mistake to go cue and ruin our evening due to food and harsh behaviour from manager mr. Bajaj. apart from smelly food of cue, the preparation of food is also better in pikwik We out from cue about 21.54 after paying invoice and enter pikwik and after having food from there we are out at 22.52
Imagine, if we feel bad and food was not good we paid double
Even I want to suggest peoples, once try pikwik near this CUE , you really realised difference in food preparation Even Daawat in Prashant vihar better...
Read moreAnother new place in North west Delhi. Visited yesterday. As soon as you enter you gonna love it. Its ambience is very pretty. Sitting is too comfortable. Light music no heavy sounds. Looks perfect for fine dine. Served with mocktail shots and makhanas as refreshment. A good start. I ordered pina colada,soya tikka chaap in starter. Veg manchurian ,garlic naan and stuff cheese kulcha in main course. Pina colada was good same like other places! Soya tikka chaap was excellent. Stuffed with spinach and paneer,it was different. Veg manchurian and garlic naan was good too. Quantity is fine. Disappointed with stuff cheese kulcha. Breads need improvement. I had Zomato gold so they denied me packing up kulcha which according to them is not allowed under Zomato Gold membership. This was too weird as it’s nowhere mentioned. Service needs improvement,they wasted 15minutes in billing. Took my card to their office area,and i kept wondering what they are doing. Cue is good ,would have rated 5 only if service was prompt and...
