How expensive is a vegetarian meal?
Anisha's meal began with a welcome shot, followed by a minimalist Samui and Normandy Mocktail, which cost ₹550. She found the drink a little underwhelming and rated it 7/10. The starters included a refreshing Lotus Root and Pomelo Salad, which impressed her with its rich, sour, spicy, and crispy notes. It cost ₹650, and she rated it 8.5/10.
Next, in starters, Anisha was served Truffle Honey and Feta Parcel, which cost ₹625. "Looked like my Amazon order arrived right on my table and I did not want to return this one," Anisha exclaimed, rating the delicious dish 9/10.
For the main course, she was served Pineapple Rice for ₹595. Though the presentation was outstanding, as the dish arrived on a pineapple, it was basically fried rice: ‘good fun but not life changing.’ Anisha rated it 8/10.
For dessert, Anisha was served two dishes: Mango Sticky Rice Crème and Drop The Egg. The first dessert was a celebration of flavours, and she rated it 9/10 for both its taste and presentation. The second dessert featured a chocolate egg served with a sweet sauce that had to be dropped to be eaten. Once again, the restaurant impressed her with its presentation, earning a rating of 7/10 and costing ₹1,200.
In total, the lunch bill came to ₹4,373 for six items, including two desserts and a mocktail.
