The dishes are changed periodically so you can feast each Sunday differently! Thai food lovers can rejoice also, as there is special Thai Food Counter with some specialities on every buffet. Thai Curry, Snapper are a must try and not to mention the herbs and spices are house cultivated.
I was in awe with the simple, small things that were giving a very genuine feeling to the concept. Like a small toy bicyle carrying hand picked carrots, peas to munch is placed on the table. Also, the garden fresh different types of tomatoes are used for the salads. I mean everything so earthy! Use of jaggery, plums, figs in desserts gives us that satisfactory feeling of having something seasonal fresh and not frozen. Take a bow Chef Rajdeep!
We tried Corn tempuras and oh my god! What taste! Crispy fried corn with the honey chilli sauce was just mind blowing.
Farm fresh veggies like Aubergine, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin for charcoal grilled and had a very nice smokey flavour. Freshness is unbeatable! A must try!
Garden Fresh thin crust pizza had all the goodness of herbs, veggies and a crunch of walnuts.The Mozzarella cheese was also at its best quality. Basic yet delectable!
Grilled veggies, paneer were also equally nice. Paneer was succulent and had right amount of marination.
Chef's special Thai Green Curry and Rice were incomparable. Creamy, coconuty flavoured curry with exotic veggies was one of the best I had so far.
Well, my words and photos will be worth, if you people go and try it yourself. Brace yourself for a culinary extravaganza.
