Lemme take you on a Sojourn - a Gastronomic Odyssey.
We arrive at a smart podium, an Angel greets & guides us down the wooden stairs where we tip toe tip toe….tac tac tac!!
Welcomed afresh by a Black tuxedoed Magician, escorted to our table, introduces the concept - The Magical Sunday Brunch (on Haloween).
Lebanese Mezze to start, loved the Baba Ghanoush & Hummus with Pita, Zatar, breads, salads & dips.
Were offered Lime & Apple Martinis, Beer.
It was followed with Sushi - Sashimi; Wasabi & Shoyu were so dynamic to enhance the joys of savouring, so many kinds of seafood & vegetables. Nori, edible seaweed wrapped in Pearl rice, Daikon in Sake all were amalgamated so well together.
Oriental - Fried Taro, Red / Green Thai curries, Jasmine rice, Stir fry exotic veggies, Pan tossed noodles, choice of veggies, chicken, squid, eel, prawns, salmon, tuna - were so flashingly done in style.
Returned to the salads to cleanse our palate. Prawn, Norwegian Salmon, Lobster, Chicken & Caesars.
Ordered a Hand tossed Pizza, as splendid as it could be - thin crust was so crispy, fresh goat mozzarella was stringy & soft. As the Pizza was in wood fired oven, I was suggested grilled seafood, served to my table with Large Prawns, Salmon & Beckti. Then a lovely Chicken steak was also brought, just could not resist.
The Grills over, we moved to European section - Chicken Cacciatore, Corn-Cheese Balls, Au gratin, Herb Potato, Walnut Gnochhi, beautifully done Broasters. The carver was excellent in carving chicken ever so daintily.
Next round of Martinis-Watermelon & Litchi, beautiful to the last sip.
We’d Omelette, Ham, Chicken Breakfast Sausage, Saute mushroom & grill tomato. Another round of salads to rest before moving to Indian section.
The Indian section had something from each region.
Chicken Pulao, Gosht e Josh, Meen Moilee, Prawn Malai Curry, Chicken Khurchan, Mutton Chapli kabab.
Sabz biryani, Paneer Korma, Aloo Dum Kashmiri, Dal Tadka, Vegetable Kozhambu, Achari Paner Tikki.
The Pickles & Murrabbas were just fantastic as were the Papad varieies. All Tandoori bread were available, were offered 10-12 types.
Another round of Martinis came, Kiwi & Orange.
Simbly Marvellous, I have fallen in louu with these…The Kerelaite bartender was a revelation.
We slouched in the super comfy chairs by now, as if a 4 X 400 M relay was done in record time, & our gaze meandered to the other corner.

It was one memorable meal I have savored in a long, long time……
Attentive stewards / stewardesses, took care of us, forthcoming to pick food for us from buffets, serving drinks, without hesitation howsoever many times we ordered. Beverages (unltd) were part of the package, ‘eat n drink as much as you can’ resulted in us gorging to our hearts content.
Clean rest rooms, beautiful ambience & smartly designed menu, complemented a perfect montage for us to return again.
Priced @ Rs 2250 + a bit steep, but worth the SAL’I’VATION.
