A real mixed bag ranging from sensational deserts to an awful pseudo biryani.
We went for a birthday celebration and this was a convenient location, saving us the trek into town.
Ambience and decor were conducive to fine dining. The tables were full but it was not noisy and no awful music.
One of our party has a serious shellfish allergy and they were very considerate about that.
The starters were very good. We got about 6 I think. Grilled chickens and fish. All the fish dishes were perfectly cooked.
We ordered truffle and mushroom naan which had no taste of truffle or mushroom. Very disappointing.
The major disappointment was the lamb biryani. This was not a biryani by any stretch, it was more like a pilaf. The lamb pieces contained inedible grissly bits which is unforgivable bearing in mind what they were charging for it.
The aubergine dish was right up my street.
The deserts were sensational. We ordered mango brulee and a weird sounding avocado and rose icecream, which is worth going back for again and again.
I also ordered a coffee which was surprisingly excellent.
This is a pricey place so they cannot serve substandard food if they want customers to return.
Service was absolutely amazing, couldn’t fault anyone at the shop. However the food on the other hand, the flavours didn’t satisfy my pallet. Flavours were alright, but nothing to scream about. Nice experience, but if you want pure flavour, better at a local spot.
Been twice, once many years ago and yesterday. Yesterday's meal was utterly scrumptious, packed with flavour. The set menu is excellent value although would forgo the dessert next time as it wasn't so good.
Chicken 2 way was excellent as was the lamb ghost. Ordered an extra peshawari naan as it doesn't come with many peices per person with the set menu. This too was high end naan. If I'm being critical the poppadom portion is very small.
Overall a great dining experience. Service is attentive and friendly.
Service was excellent, the starters were top class. However the main was not great at all. The lamb biryani had no taste and was boring a baby can eat that no spice. The chicken tava was not great at all. Overall I gave it 3 stars due to the very expensive bill and the main was bad.
This amazing michelin starred restaurant gave me an extraordinary service as well as exquisite meals.. huge variety of the menus + staffs are very knowledgeable on what to recommend with a courtesy. Thanks for the amazing experience and I hope to visit again soon.
We had several dishes ordered for our group. They catered to my sensitivity to spicy food by cooking special dishes that I can eat & enjoy. Great atmosphere, attentive staff and of course, wonderful food.
Highly recommended.
I had a family dinner. Food was really good. Service was good too. Good vegetarian options. Shab was looking after our table. He was very attentive. Overall, would recommend.
Grand Trunk Road is a fine dining experience, which means that the portion sizes are healthier and the food is freshly made. Because of this, the food is slightly more expensive and takes slightly longer than other local restaurants.
With that said, there truly isn't another restaurant quite like it nearby. The menu is slim, but each option offers different flavours so to suit everyone's needs. As a vegetarian, there were plenty of options to choose, and those options were delicious.
Perhaps the most unusual part of my meal was the Truffle & Mushroom Naan. I've never seen it anywhere else, but it's a clear winner in my books.
When it came to dessert, I went with Mango & Basil Sorbet. Initially put off by the idea of basil, I placed my trust that the kitchen knew what they were doing. For the most part, it was mostly just mango flavoured and the basil was barely detectable. Which is fine by me.
On this occasion I did not feel so adventurous as to try the Rose Petal & Avocado ice cream, but next time I hope to try it.
It's also worth mentioning that the service was as excellent as the food itself. The staff were professional, welcoming, and attentive to us.
It's a really special restaurant and is much more enjoyable than nearby competitors.
