While the initial restaurant experience lacked a formal greeting or seating assignment, it had a casual and approachable vibe, which was suitable for a fairly new establishment. As we stepped in L’Amour Du Cafe we found ourselves awestruck by the stunning pink lighting cast by the Instagram-worthy LED lit signs. The wall is covered in signature roses and the luxurious gold accents gracefully reflect every surface. While the initial restaurant experience lacked a formal greeting or seating assignment, it had a casual and approachable vibe, which was suitable for a fairly new establishment that opened in July. As we settled onto plush velvet chairs, we were delighted to discover the level of comfort they provided, elevating the overall ambiance. The manager and an employee greeted us with a smile and friendly attitude, prepared to take our order. The six of us ordered five dishes including the Chicken Quesadilla, Loaded Nachos, Chicken Shawarma Roll, Chicken Chipotle Sandwich, and Alfredo Pasta and noticed the food they served is halal and all our dishes arrived promptly. However, there was a noticeable contrast between the actual dishes and visuals from the online menu. Take the “Loaded Nacho,” for example, whose online depiction featured a generous dollop of guacamole, yet arrived without it, accompanied by stale chips covered in cold cheese. On a brighter note, the chicken quesadilla was identical to its online portrayal, satisfying our palates with a delightful and authentic spiciness. The shawarma and pasta were impressively flavorful and visually inviting, with well-seasoned chicken, a nice crusted sear, and a hint of black pepper. For dessert, we treated ourselves to some Lava Cake with Ice Cream and Tiramisu, both of which provided a warm and enticing aroma. One slight issue we faced was when the lava cake failed to deliver the oozing middle we expected leaving us a little disappointed. The Tiramisu, however, was a delight because it had a perfect combination of ingredients that left us satisfied. Our total bill came to $84.00, which, at $14.00 per person, felt quite reasonable considering the amount of food we ordered. One thing we found unusual was the lack of complimentary water that most other restaurants provide. Having to pay $2 for one bottle with a tip seemed pretty unreasonable to us. In summary, L’Amour Du Cafe stood out as a beacon of light in the Telfair plaza with a menu that offers both visual and culinary delights. It's a place where a few minor disappointments are outweighed by the overall satisfaction of a well-rounded...
Read moreRestaurant is ●beautifully decorated but unfortunately ●Not clean at all! Same experience both times! Seating area including the chairs/sofas, table and also underneath the table is so unclean that it feels so u ●Unhygienic to sit and eat, seating chairs/sofas are full of food particles, stained and colored hairs all over, I had to walk around to look for a clean setting area but couldn't find any as they were all the same so I tried to clean the table and specifically the chair before sitting down but it can't be clean just like that as it's not only dry dust and been there forever so it doesn't go away, so It is sad that we couldn't enjoy a beautiful place because of lack of cleanliness & proper hygiene! ●Food is wise, good & bad mixed! Ex: I loved the taste of ●Dynamite chicken but the quality of the battered chicken was soggy and didn't feel fresh, our ●Pizza was not cooked properly so the sauce and cheese were falling off the crust, ●Grilled chicken was really good, not dry at all and quality of the chicken, marination and grilling was on point, ●Kabuli pulao was good too, ●Chicken Alfredo pasta's chicken was great but pasta was bland, ●Club Sandwich was ok ●Doodh Patti chai- didn't like, ●Vanilla Shake was good but took about 10 mins to get it on the table after asking for it 3 times! Uncle was nice but the employees were not very nice and professional! Overall- I wanna go back to try the other menus, but the hygiene factor holds me back! I would prefer a clean place over a fancy place where I won't have to be hesitant to sit before eating, especially when the place is a 50 mins drive! I would really appreciate it if you guys could take care of the hygiene matter in a serious manner, In Sha Allah. Jazak...
Read moreYou know how when you walk in and it gorgeous and you think, 'oh, wow, I found a hidden gem'. You're excited and then there is no signage to instruct you where to go or how to order. So you ask if you can sit anywhere or... and they say sure. After sitting you're given a card to scan for the menu. The online menu lacks descriptive information for the items. And you're confused about what this place is supposed to be. The menu is all over the place. Fusion maybe? I inquired about an item and the waiter couldn't tell me clearly what all was in Channa Chaat.
The pictures do not accurately portray the dishes. I.e. the mint lemonade in the picture is lemonade with a few sprigs of mint. What came out was actually green. The drink was green. Upon googling "Desi mint lemonade", I can see what I got.
The place had soothing-ish elevator music on. It was great background while I read. Then the waiter puts on rap music. Doesn't turn the other music off, just subjects the patron to two, very different music styles. That was my hint to leave. As I walked to the counter to pay, a family came in and he turned the rap music off. 😕
No one ever asked me how my meal was or if I'd like to order anything else. Which is sad, because I probably would have.
Food okay. ...
