CILANTRO @
TRIDENT, GURGAON
Eat out of the pan, off the grill and out of the wok
Cilantro
is one of comfortable sophistication with a soothing blend of muted hues of
furniture with earthy tones of upholstery.
Coming
to the food, I would suggest you to set your palate free to engage in an
exploration of the senses. The show kitchens take the place of the hot chafing
dishes found on the usual buffet line and instead, prepare food in individual
portions in order to give maximum freshness and guest interaction. The menu’s
one to return for: everything from the ‘Peruvian asparagus with caramelized
peach and boursin’, ‘Miso fish’,
‘Duck confit’to the ‘Stir fried chicken with
lemongrass and basil’ and ‘Smoked chicken, asparagus and sun dried tomato’ has
its place. Try the ‘Lamb ragout with pappardelle’ slow cooked lamb with freshly
made pasta mama mia… (If you like!)…it will surely transport you to Italy. I
had an altogether new epicurean experience! Fresh flavours and herbs unite with
ingredients sourced and skilfully prepared from gastronomic styles of around
the Globe. Cooking styles range from grilled and poached to braised and slow
roasted, to extract the goodness and flavours of the ingredients.
To end on a
sweet note my vote goes all out for the stunning ‘Hot chocolate pudding with
milk and honey ice-cream’. If you are in the mood for something truly sinful; order a ‘Carrot and white
chocolate fondant’ or a ‘Red velvet cake with mascarpone and strawberry’, two
of Cilantro’s signature dishes. Whether you are a vegetarian or relish your
seafood, chicken or lamb it offers appetizing options for all. To compliment
this repertoire there is an enviable list of Beverages.
Try the ‘Spicy green
apple Martini’ or the ‘Spanish Sangria’ great to quench your thirst .The
Restaurant’s creative interiors; chic friendly atmosphere and good food surely
attracts the cities foodies in droves.
