\nThis visit was for lunch, along with wifey. They had four variants of Thali Meals – South Indian Meals, North Indian Limited meals, a more elaborate South-Indian Special Meal and a Quick Lunch.
\nWe ordered one South-Indian and one North-Indian Thali Meal.
\nThe usual condiments were there on the table, we didn’t try.

<\/a>\nNorth-Indian meal started with a Tomato Soup, that was yummy with nicely deep-fried bread crumbs!

<\/a>\nThe Meal Thali was very nicely presented, visually appealing! Naan was served with it by default, I wasn’t asked a choice between Roti and Naan as mentioned in the menu, never mind. The Naan was soft and I enjoyed it with Paneer gravy and Dal Tadka. Both were wonderful! One complaint with this was the quantity of gravies. Now I was left with two variants of rice – Pulao and Jeera Rice and no gravy to eat it with. It was dry and difficult to finish. Had to borrow a bit of curds from my wife’s South-Indian Meal and manage. Request for little more gravy was not entertained! They could have had a Raita instead of curd rice in the Thali. A simple gravy subzi instead of Gherkins dry subzi (which was common for South and North-Indian meals) would have been better. That was a bit of dampener.

<\/a>\nThe Sweet was yummy, and the water melon juice was okayish, watery and just passable.

<\/a>\nIf I was eating out Thali meals, 9 out of 10 times, I’d choose North-Indian Meals. I don’t specifically remember running out of gravy and being denied some anywhere! I’d definitely like them to be a little more considerate with their portions and a little ‘extra’ gravy sans paneer will not skew margins so much, I think. \ud83d\ude42
\nPaid 336 bucks in all, a very nice lunch except this minor complaint. <\/p>\n
