Anise, the open to sky- winter special restaurant at @courtyardbymarriottagra has opened it's doors again !
If you (like us) love a beautiful, royal, elegant and luxurious ambience, then this is the place to spend that cold winter evening.
Designed to perfection, this place spells...Class.
Dim lighting, mashals, a well equipped bar and an open kitchen which dishes out some well cooked Indian delicacies.. what more could one ask for.
Well, music did you say?
Yes, there is some soulful live music to complete that magical touch. For us the soft flute and tabla jugalbandi was the highlight of the evening.
The ambience deserves a full post onto itself, but let us get to the food too!
The occasion was an @agrafoodsters event and the hospitality was beyond compare.
Excellent service and a melodious song by the head chef - yes a chef who sings well cooks well too!
We tasted a variety of mocktails which were zingy, tangy and left a pleasant after taste. To accompany these there was the Veg Platter, Zafrani Paneer - soft rolls of stuffed paneer with a delicious filling and their speciality Veg Galawat Kebabs - Cooked in pure ghee this was one melt in the mouth preparation. A definite must try.
The main course consisted of Dal Makhani - another speciality of the Chef, Sabz Masaledar - a sweet savoury preparation and Paneer - the gravy of which was just about perfect.
The Veg Biryani accompanying this meal was one of the best we have had in the city.
The main course was exactly the way it should be - tasteful, flavorful and leaving nothing to be desired. Not overly spicy nor bland..just perfect!
For someone with a dominant sweet tooth what took the cake (quite literally) was the special Cheese Cake on a base of - well taste it yourself.. don't want to spoil the surprise! It was something not to be missed!
A word though - if you are in a group - do order multiple units of every dish.
To sum up the experience - we would definitely recommend this place for a relaxed time - the ambience is pure magic and the food adds to that feel of being pampered!
