Chennai being a metropolitan city has only a few good roof top restaurants. Skyloft at Feathers Hotel is one among them. The hotel stands like a giant on SH-55. What’s special about Skyloft from other rooftop places? The panoramic view which you get from this beautiful restaurant. The main focus of the restaurant is done rightly on the ambiance. The restaurant is pretty huge for a rooftop and can accommodate easily above 70 people on the go. They have a live band performing and as well as a live bar counter, sadly liquor isn’t served here because of the highway rule. I personally felt this rooftop bar/restaurant is affected because of that rule. Such a beauty is rotting because of the highway rule. Now coming to the most important thing - food; We started off with a welcome drink, guava mix mocktail which was sweet and quite refreshing. Tom yum kai soup was served which is a coconut milk based soup with chicken. It was thick and served hot. Ceasar chicken salad was served next, the salad was little salty while the peri chicken in it was good. Mumbai Chilli paneer, tossed with chili and tomato ketchup was a bit tangier in taste, the paneer was soft though. Chicken Satay, this was served in a decorative satay as the smoke was dissipating, it was smoking good and very juicy. Paneer Ashrafyan is one of their signature dishes which had grated cottage cheese mixed with Indian spices, stuffed with cheese. This was very soft and cheesy. The Chermoula Prawns tossed with chermoula was okayish, not a prawn fan though. Mexican Chimichanga is a tortilla which was big in size and had zucchini, carrots and bell peppers. The Murgh Tikka salad on Kasta roti was very simple; the tandoori tikka was stuffed in Indian roti and was served to us! Lamb galouti Bhakarkhani slider, the Galouti served in Bhakarkani bread. The Galouti was really soft and juicy while the bread was little hard and couldn’t have a proper munch of it. Vada Pav, it has become a fashion nowadays to serve vada pavs at restaurants. In a similar way, this vada pav was very usual and I didn’t feel anything great about. The final most awaited dish, Red velvet cake was served for desserts. This is their signature. The best red velvet cake I ever had. It was soft and creamy. The extra sugar icing on the top makes very sweet. Caution high calories intake.
Service and Cost, service is top-notch and the servers were well informed about all dishes which were served to us! They were polite and were on their toes to serve us. The food was served in a slow manner but that’s how it’s to be served at a beautiful rooftop bar place like this. Cost, not sure, it was on the house. They will do really better if SC lifts the...
Read moreSkyloft, As the name suggests, is a rooftop restaurant of Feather's Hotel. ( No more bar )
A perfect view spanning the perfect panoramic view of the city. Brilliantly set up ambience welcomes you with a live band with soothing songs for the ambience.Good Ambience and good Music always sets your mood up with happy vibes. Wine and Dine would have been a perfect option for such ambience but, Unfortunately, Due to "No-Alcohol" rule around highways by the government, We will miss opting for such bliss.
Some of we foodies were invited here to try their Chef spl fusion food.
Started with their shot of Guava based drink as their welcome drink.
Followed by it, we also got to try,
Raw mango drink | Watermelon Cooler
Raw mango drink was something new to me. I personally liked it. It was more pulpy with raw mango and melon. Watermelon cooler was very usual with a slight hint of watermelon.
Soup, Tom Yum Kai: Thai Coconut milk based soup with chicken in it.Very much flavourful and lil tangy.Good Combination.
Then came the Salad, Ceasar Salad with Peri Peri chicken: Looked pretty impressive and properly dressed with the veggies and Peri peri chicken accompanied with garlic bread.Tasted good and lil sweet cos of the Mayo.
After some wait, Slowly the chef's spl fusion food started to follow up, Mumbai Chilli Paneer | Paneer Ashrafyan | Chicken Satay | Chermoula Prawns | Mexican Chimichanga | Vada Pav Slider | Murgh Tikka Salad on kasta Roti | Lamb Galouti Slider
Mumbai chilli paneer was the usual good types.A good start to our meal.I was not very fond of Paneer Ashrafyan which resembled a blunt paneer cutlet with a hint of cheese stuffed. On the non-veg side, Both the Chicken Satay and Chermoula Prawns were good. Chicken satay came on a fancy cart.
Mexican Chimichanga was a burrito based.Good veg option.
Murgh Tikka Salad on kasta Roti was one of my fav of all the dishes.Indianized version of soft tacos. Well flavoured and juicy pieces of chicken. Vada pav was fairly good too.
The galouti slider was something most awaited by all. Frankly, I am not a galouti person and nothing surprising with this one.Galouti in-between the hard buttery buns. The galouti was too salty for my liking and way too melt in mouth soft.
For the desserts, Red Velvet | Chilled Fruit Skewer
I must say, This has been the best Red velvet I've had in recent times.Very much satisfying and plated well.
Chilled Fruit skewer was again a shot of fruit pulp.Good enough.
On the whole, A great roof-top dine experience. Would have been a perfect combination with alcohol but very much...
