Hello everyone! Well first things first, please spare me if my writing is not good enough.
Hopefully it shall improve with time. It’s the very first time am writing a
blog, always thought I should start one
but that thought lasted for not more than 4- 5 days and before I knew it my
mind had diverted to something else. Before I get on to my very first review which am super excited to share with
all of you, let me tell everybody once and for all, I do eat..A LOT! And am
mentioning this because of the mere reason that every time I visit any family
function or a group of new people am asked 'tamanna, aap kuch khati nahi ho?'
and am sick of answering that question over and over again. I think my good
metabolism rate does the trick for me. However am very thankful to all those
people who constantly annoyed me with that question since because of them I was
very sure about my blog title J
Now yes here goes my very first review on GRILLOPOLIS -
Andheri
So Grillopolis located at Morya Landmark 1, New Link Road,
Opposite Infiniti Mall, Andheri (W) was visited by me with a friend for their
buffet lunch, we entered the place around 2.30 so we had only an hour to spend
there, since the buffet shuts at 3.30. Firstly would love to tell you all about
their grand entrance, it feels more like you are entering a palace, because of
the huge classy door. And then you enter the place and immediately fall in love
with the cozy ambience.
The buffet is a lavish spread of a mixture of various
cuisines such as Italian, Lebanese, Mediterranean and Indian. And since we were
really hungry we first hit the buffet to get ourselves salad which I must say
were absolutely yummy! There were 3 types of Salads, Pineapple Grilled Chicken,
Prawn Salad and Egg Mayonnaise Salad. I did not try the egg salad however, but the other
two were superb. After that we were served pita bread with hummus which
reminded me of Abu Dhabi J
and then we were served the starters which included Lebanese Grilled Chicken
which was very tender and amazing in taste. Then came the Chicken Seekh Kebab
and BBQ Chicken which did not disappoint me either. After this came the most
shocking part of my visit here, the vegetarian starters, and me being the
complete non vegetarian that I am wasn’t very sure of giving it a try but then
I made the best decision ever by saying yes, both the starters I tried were
absolutely delicious. One was stuffed potato with cheddar which was brilliant
and the other was Paneer (Cottage Cheese) which was very soft and tasty! There
was also Veg Seekh Kebab which I did not try.
Then once we were done there was an option of soup which I
gave a miss, and moved straight to the main course. And usually places that
specialize for their buffet do an awesome job with their starters but fall
short on their main course but we were amazed with the brilliant main course.
There was Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, Paneer Jalfrezi, Basic Yellow Dal and
some Mutton Gravy. The Butter chicken and Paneer jalfrezi were really good and
we could order for our choice of bread to accompany it, which was served to us
on our table. My friend tried the mutton gravy which he said was really bad, so
I didn't bother trying it out. Then there was Italian Saute and Potato Crunchers,
both the dishes were average. And also butter crab which was also pretty good.
By then I was pretty full but had a little space left for
the desserts, they had a choice of Chocolate Pastry, Orange Pastry and
Strawberry Mousse. I tried all three but was disappointed with the chocolate
pastry which was very hard to eat and the orange pastry which tasted awful. The
Strawberry Mousse however wasn't too bad. They could have done a better job
with the desserts.
So yes with that comes an end to my Grillopolis review, I
would conclude by saying that overall it was a brilliant experience and a total
value for money, its 450/ person (Tax Excluded) which I think is awesome and
am looking forward to visit again.
Lastly the place wasn't absolutely full, but had quite a lot
of people for lunch on a weekday and from what I have heard from people its
full at most times, so it would make sense to make a booking there to avoid
waiting and wasting time. Call them on 022 64559900, 022 64569900, +91
9223209555 to make a booking.
Suggestion to Grillopolis – Increase the variety in Desserts
and also have an option for juice or something to sip on along with the buffet.
Hope you all enjoyed the post and your feedback on this post
shall be much appreciated J
