Lounge at Ashoka Bhopal Chambers, SP Road.
It was dinner time and we decide to try out lounge and what it had to offer.
We first ordered KHAO SUI some burmese dish.
It consisted of nice soft noodles and a lot of vegetables(Capsicum, Onion and Broccoli), two pieces of Chicken pakoda. All this was topped with a nice creamy sauce which consisted of maggi masala. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the pakoda was nice on the outside, crisp and tender on the inside. This dish was not something Extraordinary.
Chicken Platter.
This is the dish you might want to avoid consisted of 3 chicken wings. The flesh on the wings was not at all there showing that the chicken they use is lean. The next had two pakodas which again were crisp on the out and tender inside. The third on the plate were 4 momos they were kind of nice but too oily and the filling i thought was not too much. The best one was Garlic bread. It was crisp and had nice garlic sprinkled on top.
AVOID
Indian Rice bowl.
Consisted of 3 chicken pieces with tandoori masala and the same gravy that the khao suey had. IT consisted of basmati rice and in large quantities but the gravy didnt seem enough for the rice. Should be tried.
Smoked Chicken Sub
This one can never be like the the ones in Subway. The bread was cut into half and small pieces of chicken along with capsicum, Onion and some herbs sauted together and placed on the bread then a layer of mayo was added and served. It can be avoided as the taste for someone who have had subs at subway will not be great. In addition to the sub were nachos with a tomato, capsicum, garlic, pepper chutney.
Roasted Chicken Pizza
This pizza was a 7 inch one cut into four slices and served. The crust was very thin and the chicken pieces were scanty, The vegetables were not really there and the cheese also seemed kind off weird. The sauces on the base made the cheese to slip off the base and the oil was like it was a part of the dressing. Tasted mediocre
AVOID
Choco Frappe
Nothing great. The drink was not made properly as he was the only waiter and forgot to add sugar. Not an issue.
This is something I can make better at home and going to a coffee shop for such a drink is not worth it.
Kaapi Nirvana
This is the best drink on the entire menu and i heard it won the best drink of the year award.
it comes with cold coffee with a tinge of coconut and no sugar. To supplement sugar cream is added on top and on top its dressed with chocolate vermicelli . Generally people eat up the cream and find the coffee to be very sour and reject the drink but that's not how it should be tasted.
Take a spoon taste some cream and coffee till the cream is at glass level and then mix it up such that the cream acts as a sweetner and then drink the coffee.
Not to be missed

Artic Sun
What a treat. Chocolate sauce at the bottom and two scoops of vanilla in a class served with 2 shots of espresso in a minature kettle like structure. We are supposed to pour the espresso as we like and then drink it after the ice cream melts. Wow it was such a wonderfully fresh drink.
Choco Decks
The best dessert. Four layers of brownie, chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce and i believe they add some strawberry flavour. The brownie should be heated and if its not return it coz that will ruin the taste.
Ambiance - 5 (all CCD lounges have the same feel to them )
Taste
Food - 3.5 (The dishes they offer are mediocre to good and the quantity is a little less when it comes to chicken items, not a place to be eating at )
Coffee and other Drinks - 4.5 (best place to be at for some nice coffee, they good at making coffee and should look at their food)
Service - 3.5 ( its kind of slow takes a minimum of 15 minutes before the dish is served, be it coffee also)
The items listed above are not on the menu updated by Zomato. All the CCD lounges have a different menu.
