After my exams I always make sure that I go to some new place so that I can write it in my blog. This time round my family and I decided to venture out to Hauz Khas and the near by places. We found this amazing restaurant at 119, Sishan House, Shahpur Jat Which serves modern Australian cuisine comprising of an amalgam of south Asian, American, Italian food.
Ambience
The ambience of this restaurant is amazing to say the least.
The restaurant is on the first floor and also a beautiful verandah which can
accommodate at least 15 people. The verandah is serene with small lights placed
within bird cages, which gives the place it’s a unique appearance. The
restaurant doesn’t provide a bar so the atmosphere is always calm and excellent
for a lunch with family and friends.
The verandah especially during the retreating winters is
fantastic slightly windy, a little warm- overall a perfect blend of everything
nice.
That is why I will give it
Food
We ordered for a plate of Buffalo Style Drummets with chilli
jam and Prawn Bisque. The drummets or wings were amazing slightly spicy and
very well complimented with the sweet and sour chilli jam. The prawn bisque was
again very delicious. The Bisque itself was rich, creamy and the flavor was
elevated to the next level with the prawn and the broth, which again went well
together with the slightly crunchy garlic bread.
The delightful appetizers were the perfect beginning for the
mains.
For the mains we ordered grilled Basa with lemon and herb
sauce, a fisherman’s basket and roast garlic and rosemary lamb chops with roast
potatoes. The basa was perfectly cooked, char-grilled on the outside and
delightfully soft inside. The lemon sauce was perfect tangy and buttery and
stood out very distinctly. The entire dish was served on a bed of mashed
potatoes which provided the necessary creaminess. Next was the fisherman’s
basket which consisted of 2 pieces of prawns along with calamari bites,
battered fish and French fries. All of them were delicious. However the
calamari rings stood along with the battered pieces of Basa. The pieces were
crunchy and well seasoned and as soon as you put them in your mouth they would
melt away. The lamb chops were again finger licking good. Beautiful pieces of
lamb, well seasoned and with sufficient sauce made it the best lamb chops I
have eaten in a long time.
For desserts we ordered for a blueberry cheesecake and a
tiramisu. The blueberry cheesecake was brilliant. The cheese was rich and soft
and the biscuit stood out very nicely and its crunch provided the essential
salty texture to cut through the cheese and to top it all the heavenly
blueberry topping was delicate and simply celestial. The tiramisu was light and
with a strong coffee flavor. A spoonful of the tiramisu was sweet, slightly
crunchy with immense depth of flavor and texture.
Overall it was a lunch to remember
I would give it
Service
The service is very good, very hospitable and always ready
to take orders and help you out with the menu. We were tended to very nicely
and the dishes were served relatively fast.
For service I would give it
Cost
The restaurant is very cost effective in my opinion for 3 it
costs around Rs. 3000.
The prawn dishes were tasty and served at a relatively less
price and the quantity the restaurant provided as well as the quality made the
entire experience worth it.
