The Good Bowl: As the Name Says

I have been seeing this new restaurant listing on Zomato since past few weeks and wanted to try it out. I looked at the menu and liked the variety of food items.

Oyster Chicken With Burnt Garlic Rice Bowl: The bowl had burnt garlic fried rice on one side and gravy on the another. The chicken pieces in the gravy were just like the ones you get at local Chinese restaurants. The gravy had onions and capsicums. Rice had egg in it along with some chopped vegetables. The taste of rice was good and gravy was very similar to chicken Manchurian in any other Indian Chinese restaurant. The taste overall was good but not among the best ones I have had. Quantity of the dish was very good as the bowl was completely filled with the food, unlike many restaurants who given only half-filled bowls. 3.5/5 on taste.

Chicken Tikka Mac & Cheese Bowl: The bowl had creamy and cheesy macaroni on top and chicken tikka with sauce at the bottom. The taste of the macaroni was great. It was creamy, cheesy and tasty. Chicken pieces were well cooked and the sauces were having a burst of flavors and were spicy. When had with macaroni it was tasting good but the taste of chicken tikka was too much overpowering. It was something unique and I liked it a lot. 4/5 on taste.

Mughlai Chicken Kofta Rice Bowl: The bowl had rice on the side with some chicken kofta and omelet on top. The salad was included separately which had American corns, jalapenos, olives, and peppers. The taste of the rice was just like the one you get in Faasos. Kofta was good in taste and so was an omelet. But the gravy was minuscule and was not able to add much flavor to the dish. Overall taste was very good but a bit of gravy would have made this dish more like a bowl than a biryani. 4/5 on taste.

Butter Chicken Rice Bowl: Again as all the other bowls the quantity of gravy was less compared to the rice. The chicken was tender and gravy was flavorful but not enough. Overall taste was good. 4/5 on taste.

Black Pepper Chicken With Chilli Basil Noodles Bowl: Chilli basil noodles were well cooked, thin and flavorful. Black pepper chicken was good in taste and had a decent quantity of chicken pieces. The bowl was full and enough gravy was given for the noodles. 4.5/5 on taste.

Paneer Steak Mac & Cheese Bowl: This dish was drastically different from chicken tikka mac n cheese which I had ordered earlier. In this dish, the paneer had a burnt layer and consistency was hard. The taste of paneer was good but other things ruined it. Macaroni also was like a precooked one which was given to me. It was hard and had no gravy unlike what I had earlier. The taste was good but the consistency and cold temperature ruined this as well. I am sure the dish was not made by a good chef or else there cannot be such a huge difference between mac n cheese by the same restaurant. For what I got, 3/5 on taste but 2/5 overall.

Shanghai Chicken Rice Bowl: The bowl had egg fried rice and gravy with chicken on the side. Quantity of gravy was less compared to the rice. The rice was a bit on the drier side with a decent taste. The gravy had good taste but nothing great. 3.5/5 on taste.

Singapore Noodles With Drums Of Heaven Bowl: The chicken wings were well cooked and spicy. The gravy was decent. Singapore noodles were very good in taste and it was a delight to have it without any gravy. Overall a very good dish which could have been excellent if the gravy was better tasting. 4/5 on taste.
