The Bistro near by

Hello everyone I am Soura. 
This is my first post in fact this is my first blog. And i have decided that my aim is to spread the word of good food to people so that they too can share the joy of it.
As I have written in my profile I love to eat at new places and try new dishes. 

A  month  or two ago my family and i went to "Cafe lemon Twist" in sec 63 . this place is not very old. for starters we order a plate of chicken Souvlaki with Tatziki sauce and pita bread.

For all, chicken Souvlaki is a traditional Greek dish
 in which the chicken in sauteed with different kinds of herbs and is served with pita bread and tatziki which is a sauce made with curd, cucumbers and chillies. This was my first taste of Greek cuisine, so i had absolutely no idea to what it should be.
But once the first piece of the chicken went in my buccal cavity, the whole protein completely dissolved inside. the herb crust on the outside was awesome and the tenderness of the chicken was an added boon. But the problem was the tatziki and the pita bread.
First things first, the tatziki was under-seasoned and lacked the zing and punch of lemon and herbs.
on the other hand, the pita bread too lacked taste and was a bit too hard to eat.
Next was the main course. My parents had ordered for a "all American platter" and i had ordered for " pan fried fish in lemon butter sauce."
the thing i liked i most was the quantity of the dishes they serve but soon this positive sensation was overpowered by many intricate problem.
one of the main problem was that the lemon butter sauce was too sour and it completely made the original taste of the fish unrecognizable. the homemade salad was too bland. in the all American platter some pieces of chicken add more herbs than others.

Frankly speaking i would have said that the food was good if their price was in accord with their quality.
But unfortunately, the restaurant is quiet over priced and has a very limited menu.
on a happier note the ambiance of the restaurant is magnificent and service is very good. the coffee is also very good and it lives up to its name of being a bistro.
"Eat the breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and the dinner like a pauper"
so if you go there to spend your time with a cup of coffee and want to eat only a bit just for experience of it. it is must place. But as soon as you shift your attention to the quality and price of the food, you can afford to miss this restaurant out and believe me you won't miss much.

Overall I would say,
5/10 stars
