As we all know that, Sanjeev Kapoor is not just a name .... it’s a brand in itself .... an Indian celebrity chef, who bought the revolution in the field of cooking. It was really a privilege to be there.

The ambience of the restaurant is done all four elements of Nature.... earth, water, fire & air. A truly Indian feel with awater body at the entrance... Buddha ... sculptures..... decors. There is plenty of seating indoors as well as a very pretty outdoor seatings as well.

The staff is very friendly & Mr. Anil was there to explains us about the food really well. Chef Praveen was there to guide us about the signature food & the techniques used.

Coming to the food we had there. We were served the special menu which Chef Praveen had chosen for us.

We started with Pre starters Papad & chutney Tiranga fruit spheres... the three color fruit spheres denoting our Indian flag ... was delicious

Followed by the drinks ... Ginger Smash.... with a very strong flavor of ginger... this drink was really refreshing Charcoal Colada ... I tried pinacolada with charcoal for the very first time .... it was amazing

Then they served us the scrumptious Lemon sorbet with olive dust .... to settle out taste buds ..

Among their wide range of main course they’re choose the best to serve us that day .... they served us Red velvet butter chicken.... with the butterly curry .. it was my favorite Avadhi Gosht .... more like the famous Korma .. seriously .. I haven’t tasted such delicious korma here in UAE ... it was finger licking delicious 😋 Cottage cheese pinwheel with mint & red pepper.... the stuffed paneer was super yummy... Makhani lalla musa dal..... ohh my ... this Dal makhani was out of the world ... cooked with the authentic techniques .. it was really a must must try ... Veg.

To sum it all .... no matter how many new restaurants with all new technologies are coming up.... Old is always Gold .... same way .. Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor is a highly recommendable place for all the foodies ..

Thanks a lot to Sarita, Chef Praveen, Anil & the whole team of Signature...

Sanjeev Kapoor should stick to what he knows best - not experiment with onam sadhyas. I made a big mistake of booking an onam sadhya for my parents 50th wedding anniversery. It was an mockery and embarassment of an onam sadya.

1. Sabudana vada and keerai vada was not cooked fully. The uncooked batter was clearly visible
2. bananas were not ripe
3. eliseri ( pumpkin) was just smashed pumpkin - not an onam sadya taste
4. coconut rice with sambar and paruppu ( lentils) is not traditional way of serving onam sadya
5. carrot pachadi was served from the fridge and super cold
6. positioning of items in the sadhya was not correct - example - banana chips should not be placed in the center of the leaf - your waitresses have no clue of what they are doing, what to place where in the leaf, set aside properly pronouce the names of dishes, albeit they tried their best)
7. malabar paratha and kadala curry is usually not served in a traditional onam sadhya
8. avial was the worst i tasted - just drum sticks - strings of drum sticks almost choked !!!
9. sweet dish (pradhaman ) was served cold with coconut toppings - not traditional
10. payasam was overfilled with rice
11. paruppu podi is not served in a traditional onam sadhya

Instead of using a malayali chef who knows what he is doing, sanjeev kapoor employed a sardarji as a cook for the onam sadhya.

I had a team meeting with the chef and manager and they admitted their callousness in preparing an unpalatable onam sadhya. They were very courteous. I was not charged for the meal. Nevertheless, i came with high expectations to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

For all those vloggers in instagram who promoted this merely for views, you have no clue of what a real onam sadhya (typically priced around 30 aed in any karama restuarant) is.

Sanjeev - stop being a showman and just do what you do best. Next year, if you decide to venture into a pro business veg sadhya priced at 129 aed, atleast do your homework, understand what an onam sadhya really is and employ a proper trained...

A big biryani fan and this one was amazing served in a clay pot perfectly cooked accompanied with burani raita. A mouthwatering treat.

Melt in mouth mutton cooked to perfection and the bright color curry will appeal your eyes and you will dig in it and will taste the flavorful fusion perfectly paired with soft fresh bread.
