We had so much fun at the venue and the food is amazing. I think this is one of most instragrammable Indian Restaurant I've been too. Every corner is aesthetic and ready for selfies. Really reminds mo of an Indian Celebration called Holi.
My Favorites: for starters, I love the Tuna Bhel, the play of flavors and textures of the nuts works well for me. The Bag Bag Chicken is an experience, I love the idea of us customers got has the pleasure of spicing the way we like it. The Burnt Tomato Aubergine Puree is just perfect as the Lamb Bun Kebabs.
Stir-fried Chipotle Prawns, there's that distinct Indian spice that lingers as an aftertaste once we had it.
The Tandoori Bao Egg Benedict is amazing, I wish the eggs is runnier, or I should have informed the check how I like my eggs done. More or less I still enjoyed this selection.
The Mains. Non-Traditional Butter Chicken - It tastes so good, I love how they prepared the chicken. They barbecued the chicken first with Tikka Takki before mixing it with the Butter Makhani Sauce.
Fish Tikka - This melts in my mouth, so satisfying.
Beef Kallimiri - The meat and the flavors explodes with each bite. The spice is just right and not overpowering the flavor of the meat.
Vegetable Dum Biryani - This is the perfect base for all the main dishes. I love the idea of making the biryani as a vegetable so that we can pair it with all the main dishes. I tried pairing it with the Butter Chicken, Fish Tikka, and Beef Kallimiri and each time is a different experience. Kudos to whoever thinks of this idea.
Dessert I love most of the desserts offered especially the Saffron Tres Leches Cake, the Saffron Vanilla Cremeux is so smooth and creamy and the milk cake is moist, not dry. As a huge fan of ice cream, the Thandai Ice Cream. I find it lackluster. There's a very subtle amount of flavor in it. I dunno is it just me or if I'm just nitpicking or have high expectations when it comes to ice cream?
The Drinks This is an experience of its own. This is an amazing idea letting us create options for us mixing our own drinks the way we like them.
Overall we had an amazing time, more than the food, the drinks, and the entertainment the ambiance and experience sets it afar from the rest of the Indian restaurants I've been to. Despite the resto was jammed packed during our visit, our server Kyu was so nice and really take care of not only us but also the rest of the tables around our area. We are never left alone and unattended. For me, everything is already perfect. just minute adjustments on...
Read morewhat makes a good brunch is a combination of factors, including the quality and variety of food, the atmosphere, the vibes, and the activities available to guests. And I must say, the brand new Sunday citizen brunch at Republic at DoubleTree by Hilton offers all of this and more!
One of the standout features of this brunch is the variety of fun activities available for kids. From face painting to dancing to fun games and experiments, there was something for everyone. Not only did these activities keep the kids entertained, but they also helped them make new friends and interact with each other.
The ambience of the venue was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. From the moment we entered the venue and were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, we felt at ease and ready to enjoy the brunch experience. The food was delicious, with a variety of dishes from classic breakfast items to creative twists on brunch favorites, all made with high-quality ingredients. The Wild mushroom pearl cous cous kichdi, tuna bhel salad, and kashobari salad were particular favorites of mine. The eggs Benedict live station was also impressive, with perfectly cooked eggs and all the toppings you could want.
The dessert selection was equally impressive, with a wide variety of sweet treats to choose from. And the gin tonic live station was definitely worth mentioning - it was a lot of fun to make our own cocktails and experiment with different flavor combinations. The sangria station was also a nice touch.
One thing to note is that we ended up staying at the brunch until 5:30, even though the official timing was from 1:30 to 4:30. That just goes to show how much fun we were having! And the prices were fair, with free entry for kids below 6, AED 85 for kids aged 6-12, AED 165 for soft beverages, and AED 265 for house beverages.
Overall, I highly recommend the Sunday citizen brunch at Republic at DoubleTree by Hilton. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Very good service Brayan...
