Andrea's Eatery — Restaurant in Saket

There is no day in specifics that could be less admirable while having a visit at Select CITYWALK. The vibrant and humongous mall has numerous retail brands and most importantly, the superb eateries. While wandering around thinking of settling for gobbling up, the sublime and calm tint of Andrea's exterior comes to an attraction.

Andrea's Eatery is a recent emergence after the shut down of Amici at the same place. The owner, Andrea Pauro, came up with a more promising outlet which is plating world cuisine in signature style. The calm and exotic ambiance with lots of greenery and pleasant hue is mood upraising. The cafe is quite compact in overall space and decor is really adorable. With a very warm welcoming we hopped to a comparatively well lit seat, and started stooping down the menu. The menu itself is very well designed with details and options worth to binge for.

Moving to food, we ordered most of the favorable items and some of them recommended from the outlet. The presentation of all the items were so neat and pleasant.

In FOOD we had,

➊ ORGANIC SUPER SALAD

spinach, rocket cheese, tomato, bean sprouts, good for you seeds, avocado, radish with balsamic and wild honey dressing and more. The presentation was mind blowing with aptly filled chicken and spinach, beans, avocado, sliced radish on the other side. The items blended fantasized a lot with the overall taste, especially the mild sweetness of the raisins and honey dressing of the spinach is so mesmerizing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

➋ VEGAN GRAPE FRUIT SALAD

carrots, cucumber, radish, spring onion, red onion, house grown sprouts, grapefruit, Swiss chard with coconut and lemon grass dressing . The healthy bowl of assorted greens looked really amazing but the overall taste is not pleasant at all. The lime dressing overly dominated with the harshness of chard. The unexpected sour quotient in Grapefruit just don't feel like a great blend with the other ingredients. Overall it felt really dry.

➌ ECHO BEACH SATAY

Balinese style grilled chicken satay served with homemade chunky peanut sauce. Such divine taste of chicken finely grilled with a smooth texture. The gimmick is more into the peanut sauce which is truly a simplest yet a great chef's innovation.

➍ CRUNCHY SHRIMP TEMPURA

Signature Crunchy Shrimp Tempura served with Wasabi Mayo and Tobanjan. Prawns and shrimps are the most authentic items ever admired more so we picked this out in the menu. The shrimp was utterly fresh and the tempura marinade is a heartthrob.

➎ AL ALFREDO PENNE

Reduced cream, Parmesan and Garlic Flakes served with Penne Rigate. Such a great taste of penne with even less creamy quotient. The garlic bread was succulent too. The quantity was adequate. The Parmesan was more influencing to the overall taste. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

In DRINKS we had,

➊ ANDREA'S FRUIT PUNCH

Signature Blend of Fresh Melon, Pineapple and other Juices. Quite a refreshing blend of fruits and an adorable presentation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

➋ GREEN APPLE BASILICO SPRITZ

Refreshing drink with Green Apple, Basil, and Cucumber. A fizzy apple refresher, with calm flavors of basil and cucumber. ➌ BLUEBERRY CHERRY SMOOTHIE

Such a thick and superb shake of wholesome blueberry and cherry finely chopped. The content was so adequate that it became one of the best items in beverages we had ordered. The color of the drink is an attraction. *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

➍ DARK CHOCOLATE OREO SHAKE

A cute looking shake with a smiley drawn with chocolate sauce. The taste was eventually amazing with perfect thickness and authentic chocolate taste. One of sober and always preferable option.

Overall the experience is truly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. No certain flaw, only amazing hospitality. The staffs are quite humble and professional. Pleasantly chef addressed us for a feedback on every food, which we learnt a lot about the content of most of the dishes which is highly appreciable. This outlet has got our recommendation and definitely a...

A #dinner that i will remember for quite sometime for sure..

Andrea's Eatery gives you that happy vibe whenever you walk in - everything around you seems to be pretty.. The menu card is a revelation in itself - an unique one that not only acts as a menu of the delicacies from different parts of the world but also, a fact finder for different cities like any other travel book - you are bound to stay engaged..

Service is pretty good (although could be far better) and the pricing of the dishes are apt as per Delhi standards.. Portion size (specially of the main course) is humungous - almost everything can require two to three eaters to polish off one plate..

We started off with #CrunchyKataifiPrawns - a #Thai delicacy where deep fried Vermicelli crusted Prawns were served with Plum Ginger sauce - an instant hit with our tastebuds..😍

Next in line was #CapreseMilleFeuille - an #Italian delicacy where layers of fresh Mozzarella were served with marinated 🍅 and Phylo Pastry - this one had a pretty bland taste and didn't appeal to us much - even the garnishing of Basil was done very shabbily.. I would regard this as a one off miss because we were impressed with the rest of the meal..

The main course started off with #CaramelPork - this delicacy wowed us with every bite - a 5 hour slow cooked #Austrian Pork Shoulder served on sticky Jasmine rice topped with beautiful wok tossed Snow Peas, Kimchi & burnt Garlic..😍

#SalmonandCream - a #Norwegian delicacy where Tagliatelle (a pasta variant) was served with premium smoked Salmon from Norway tossed in a pan with cream & grated Parmesan cheese - yummy and how!! 😍

We decided to end the fabulous meal on a high with an equally fabulous dessert - #ChocolateDome where a flourless Chocolate Cake was served with Fiordilatte Gelato, Almond Crumble & Callebaut Ganache - you shouldn't miss out on the #videoclip shared below which will make you drool on this dessert - we relished on the same to the tees.. 😍

Thank you dear Reshmi di for the fabulous dinner - your company was also a treat in itself.. ❤️

Rana da - you were dearly missed..

Till we meet again..

Kolkata Food...

Was looking for new places to eat so I landed up at Andreas eatery. Was excited to try new dishes even though the prices were quite high compared to other restaurants in the mall. I started with Siam watermelon cooler which was not very flavourful but didn’t mind much as I was tired ,thirsty and hungry. Then I ordered Veg wanton which was very sour for my liking but still chose not to say anything as I was hungry I ate the wanton leaving the soup behind. After that I ordered fresh butter garlic prawns thinking how can butter, garlic and prawns together go wrong but guess what to my disappointment the prawns were overcooked and it was nothing incredible compared to the price they were charging . Then finally someone came over to my table for the feedback so politely I told him about the food they’ve served he was receptive about my comment but didn’t do anything much about it. So I thought of trying one more dish and then ordered spicy tuna Maki the sushi it self was good but the sauce given along with it was very strong and salty. Even though the food was not that great I didn’t have much problem as I just wanted to try few dishes to eat with my beer. But at the end to my final disappointment they gave me a bill with CGST,SGST,VAT and service charge they told me the VAT was for the beer which I don’t have much idea about (please enlighten me)they charged CGST,SGST, VAT on the entire bill + service charge which was quite high. After confronting the server for quite sometime he suggested that I can minus the service charge if I want ( which I appreciate him letting me know ) then he got me the final bill which I wanted to pay by card and then he says would you like to leave a tip for me which was such a put off and not expected from the restaurant this level. When the service is good and the food is good a customer will open heartedly willingly leave few hundreds but a server asking upfront like that was so embarrassing than I left a 100...
