MRCB-2

Chicken 65
This is a very nice starter. Lots of green chillies and garlic. The chicken has a very thin coating and is bright red. Tastes good and is spicy. The chicken is soft and melts.
Manchuria
The manchuria is just like the one i ate in Hunan spice and I keep ordering it. The taste is splendid and the spices are on a higher note. But worth it
Pot Biryani.
A typical locally suited biryani (MRCH calls it Local Telugu Biryani). High on chilli and balanced on the spices. The rice upon opening, the packet, may look like it does not consist a lot of masala, but it tastes otherwise. A 200 rupees Biryani has 4 pieces and all are from the breast region of the chicken which makes it chewy and n ordeal to eat the chicken. Mention that you want a good tender piece. The Biryani is spicy mind you.

Taste wise this is the best place close by Marredpally.
Note:
The only issue is since it is a takeaway you can get old cooked chicken or manchuria in your parcel. So make sure you taste it before you choose and I would suggest request him to make one for you and not use whats displayed in the front.
If you take care of that then sit back and enjoy your food.

A`la Liberty

Dinner

What happens When a hardcore Punjabi Family used to eating Tandoori Chicken and Tangdi Kebabs enter a restaurant meant for Vegetarians and one which specifically caters to a certain type of veggies ?
This is how my story goes.

Quesadillas
These were not authentic but an Indianized version. The base, very thin with a lot of oil, while the filling inside was there but didn't seem enough to justify the dish or enough to really analyse what was there along with the cheese and we couldnt even taste the cheese.
Not worth it not at all.

Paneer Tikka
This was much better. The paneer was so soft that it melted in my mouth. The green chutney complemented the taste of the paneer which was on the bland side perfectly.
It was a perfect dish. my compliments to the chef.

Daal Makhni
The daal was no where close to even good.
The lentils were undercooked, there was no butter in the dish and the overall taste too was not really good.
Wonder what made the chef take off the daal from the stove so quickly and did he forget to add the butter?
Come on, the reputation of this place is of a Restaurant with mouth watering food and one where people come back for more. This is not Justified.

Methi Chaman
We are used to having methi chaman and know what the taste is like. The chef here probably used a lot (excessive) of palak that gave it a distinct spinachy taste. This resulted in a dish which was more on the likes of Palak paneer.
Disappointment.

Food: 1

Ambiance: 3
Lot of chatter when we went and it was a full house. Also the place bore a beaten look.

Service:1
The only good thing about this place was the service and interaction with us. Promt every moment.
But then when asked to get the fingerbowls, I saw the waiter transferring water from soiled bowls into a big bowl cleaned them up with a paper napkin and served it to us.
I did not raise the issue as we were there on invitation and it would have been inappropriate to do so at that time.
Never again shall we cross paths A'la Liberty.

The End.

Ruci & Idoni

6-3-2014

After A clueless meal at Bouchon we decided we had to eat something FILLING,  so we took the road that lead us to Ruci & Idoni.

Ice Coffee Caramel 
I mentioned that I wanted it without the ice and that is how it was served. 
The coffee was of room temperature and tasted like a normal Frappe.
 I could taste the caramel in it. This could have been a perfect drink for me if it had a little more of the caramel.

Mochachino 
It cant get over the taste yet. This hot chocolate drink was really worth every penny and costed  just 80. A perfect drink to order if you plan to sit here and read your books or complete your office chores.

 Quesadilla Cottage Cheese 

I was served with only 2 of these with a sour yoghurt mixture and a chopped tomato, chilli, and lemon juice chutney.
The quesadillas consisted of cottage cheese and some red paste that covered the paneer. This tasted best with the chopped tomato chutney.

Piri Piri Burger 
Burger was served with potato wedges and salad topped with  chipotle sauce and the same chopped tomato chutney.
Wedges were crisp on the out And soft in the inside. Perfectly Cooked.
The salad tasted best after one of my companion mixed the tomato chutney with the salad.
The burger had lettuce, chicken pieces which had the masala and that was the heart of the burger. Mayonnaise and chipotel sauce.
This is one thing you should order.

Pizza- Harvest Vegetables.
A nice big pizza with zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, caramelized onions along with few other vegetable which I cared less about.
The vegetables had a smoky charred taste and that did not appeal my taste and I avoided this pizza altogether while the others cleaned the plate in no time.

Service:
The service was prompt but the waiter guiding us with our order was ignorant about the items in the menu. 
At an instance I inquired as to what  goes into making the nutella drink. He replied,"Some nut and chocolate". It was clearly written in the menu Hazelnut and he didn't know which nut. Not that I am unhappy with the service but just unhappy with the ignorant state the waiter was in.

Including this in my criteria, Service would be 3

Ambiance: 5
Love the king sized chairs and the notes left being by the customers and the paintings placed randomly.

Taste: 4.5

Bouchon(Bombay Duck)

6-3-2014

Headed to Bouchon to taste some yummy food. Good reviews aboutBombay Duck And my inquisitive nature to try it.

Indian Crepes 
Pancakes stuffed with vegetable and dipped in some curry( related it to masala dosa with sambar)
I tried to appreciate the food better but having no prior experience in how an authentic one tastes, I really cannot comment on this one.

Chicken Indian Style 
2 pieces of chicken from the breast region and rice with nuts and dry fruits. The chicken marinated and then grilled, served with mustard sauce. It tasted best with the sauce while the marinade was not enough to carry the taste all by itself. The rice was almost similar to the sweet rice made at home except for the sweetness and the coconut flakes. 

Good combination though.

Pepperoncini
It consisted of cherry tomatoes which were not red in colour. Bell peppers, tomatoes. This is not a place recommended for pizzas. 500 for a pizza like this not worth it.

 Try other dishes, if not a pizza.

Service 
The waiter was hovering around us as we were the only ones eating here. So we got his undivided attention. 
During the feedback, we mentioned that we couldn't appreciate the cuisine and the waiter replied, probably because it's French.

But when one adds Indian in the name then shouldn't the taste suit our Indian palates And when they don't there are just 2 options left 
1. How Indianised was the food? 
2. And did the chef do any justice to the dish?(Indo-French cuisine) 

Since I have no experience in French food I really cannot comment on those questions I have raised.

Service- 5
Ambiance- 4
