I know I took a while to visit Amreli, mostly because I kept hearing
mixed reviews, some really like it, some not but as they say ‘ Taste of the
pudding is in the Eating’! If you live in South Delhi or Gurgaon and are
looking for delicious food in a cute place not too far away, I would recommend
Amreli at The Diplomat Hotel. No
matter what you order, this is comfort food at its finest.
As you wait to be joined by company or simply wait for your meal to
arrive for one, take in the memorabilia scattered around the restaurant and bar
modelled on that of an upmarket London diner replete with a beautiful
chessboard floor, mirrors and artworks aplenty. Or simply saunter along the
alfresco area, in the Bistro’s quiet courtyard and take a peek at the lush
green and perky seating!
The kitchen turns out an all-time favourites inspired menu which
reflects famed Chef Saby’s (Sabyasachi Goral) collective experiences and has
influences of his culinary curiosity which is translated through sourcing fresh
local ingredients and ensuring each dish is distinctively unique in flavour and
texture. A chef in the true sense Saby looks to nature’s bounty to act as his
beacon, guiding him to create clean and harmonious dishes.
We opted for the Eggs Benedict with Keema and were extremely impressed
with how delicious the twist was. We easily could have ordered seconds but of
course there was more to sample.
It was pretty difficult to choose between the Chettinad
Chicken & Sole Meen Moilee but the latter was highly recommended by a
customer sitting on the next table so I knew it would be a hit. This dish had
very complimentary flavours and tasted brilliant with steamed rice though I
ordered some Hot Appams too which were delicious. It settled us into a
comfortable state allowing for conversations to flow. We each took turns trying
the others dishes because they all looked and tasted so delightful. The Quinoa Salad however was a tad disappointing as it was all hidden under the hugely cut veggies...it is very important for the prime ingredient to be visible because that's what the mind imagines while ordering a dish.Amreli also creates imaginative, refreshing and tasty beverages like
the ‘Lemon cheese cake cooler’ my daughter ordered. It has a fine selection of
wines by the glass and bottle and also offers beer and soft drinks. The
ambiance is perfect for conversation, and the service is friendly,
unpretentious and efficient. The attention to detail is apparent in every bite.
You will savour flavours that linger far longer in your mind than the
kaleidoscope of taste sensations hang around on the palate, and that’s a great
thing so, trust me, you will want to keep going back.
