What
do you want to hear once you are done eating any lip smacking dish..? Burrp of
your stomach right! But all we get is a huge hole in our pocket by the end of
any decent meal in an ‘averagish’ restaurant. We all our food delicious or in
layman’s language yummy!! But looking at the current scenario the recent
changes or ‘development’, as they call it is going more towards the ‘kichidi’ market. Now a day it is more about the presentation
then the taste. We don’t mind paying, but paying for something I did not
ordered is definitely the last thing I would want. Here would like to tell my
readers about and recent incident that took place, yes I want to call that an
incident rather than calling it one of my most awaited outside dinning, six
months to be precise. ‘Bukhara’ at ITC
Maurya Sheraton is one of the most reputed one of the top most ranked Top Restaurants in Delhi of our country requires you to do a
booking six months prior. So after waiting for six months I finally was
sitting with five of my friends in this beautifully decorated and amazingly
maintained, it was a feast to my eyes. I felt that I have already won my half
battle here, because I have been cramming my friend about this place like crazy
for past ‘six’ months. Like a hyperactive kid I order for all my friends. I
could see the food coming I order and as soon as it touched my table again
being at my childish best I became restless to dig in. The non-vegetarian items
order without fail was worth raving about. Appropriately
marinated and exact amount of masalas mad every one order another platter, but
on the other hand the truth of it, the second thought was that, I have tasted
better kebabs than this. With every
other dish I had ordered after trying I got the same feeling again and again.
All I could thing was whether this was a good idea of not. To make the whole
experience a nightmare for me was when I asked for the check. I would like to
ask you to make a wild guess about the same. Please before reading further just do your math’s and guess I how much I
ended up paying for 5- 6 dishes for 5 people. Done! Ok hold your breath I paid whooping
40, 000 Indian Rs. Phew I still get a minor heart attack every time I think of
that adventurous dinner with my friends.
I would have loved to pay that much money to
some ‘barat wala’ caterers, because apparently he can cook much more delicious
dal then the renowned Bhukhara chefs. Where is the food industry going, is it all
about making money and burning a hole in the pocked of a food lover in my case
my whole pocket). Visit Here… http://btwindia.com/
