If one had to select a restaurant in entire Gurgaon which could ace in ambience, service and taste at the same time, its the Amaranta at Oberoi.
The team of Chef Sahil and Naman took us to a gastronomic heaven today - everything was near perfect heavenly. Here is my short take on each of the items:
Dal Amaranta - outstanding
Mushroom malai - succulent and juicy
Biryani - best I’ve had in a while
Crispy dosa based starters - outstanding
Matar mushroom mahkana sabji ??
Gulab jamun - Extra-ordinary
The crown jewel however continues to be their filter coffee ice-cream - but the best thing in Amaranta is the service from Chef Sahil and Naman who will make your meal a true delight.
Special thanks to Sumegha for her help in bookings and to Mr Abhishek Panshikar for his generous mitt in offering us the private dining room.
You’ve won a lifetime fan and evangelist today.
We went there for lunch on Sunday, and were greeted with a warm, COVID Protocol compliant welcome. All the servers were wearing face shields, masks and gloves. We were handed envelopes to store our masks safely - a gesture I absolutely love. We were short on time so ordered the main course only - their version of Butter Chicken, which is four types of chicken served with the gravy on the side, and a Lamb Biryani, which was prepared South Indian (but not Hyderabadi) style.
Before our order was served, we were treated with a bread basket featuring Amaranta's take on a Focaccia, Soft Bun and Pasty Puff, served with Gunpowder, Curry Leaf Powder and Olive Oil. The breads were truly impressive - fresh and flavourful. An excellent start to the afternoon.
The Butter Chicken (or Dilli as they call it here) served at Amaranta is one of my absolute favourite foods. It's always on point, the smoked Chicken, the Chicken Kofta, the popcorn chicken and the chicken strips come together with their fresh, rich gravy to offer, what I believe, is amongst the best standalone Indian dishes in the country. I say that after obsessing over Butter Chicken across my travels across India for about a decade. This is a must order, every time.
The Lamb Briyani featured a lovely medly of flavours, with well cooked lamb and was served with a lovely mixed raita. Standalone, the Biryani was packed with flavours which will take you to a Chef's table somewhere between Chennai and Cochin, that's how my limited palette decoded it at least.
When I mentioned obsession previously, I wasn't only referring to the what goes on in the kitchen. I absolutely loved how the server took their time to serve my Beer on the table. Most servers across establishments pour as much beer as they can into the glass, and walk away. Not here. The server pour the beer slowly, reducing the flow from the bottle to the glass basis the height of the froth, till the pint was empty. It's a very small detail but a good showcase of the obsession towards a great experience.
While I am yet to savour their seafood delicacies and a bunch of other bits from the menu in this lifetime, I can safely conclude saying that Amaranta is one of the best dining experiences in and around the capital. A must visit!
We went for a special occasion and spent almost 40k for a normal dinner for a family of 10 people only. Tried all the vegetarian starters on the menu but they were way too average. Shakargandi chaat was without spiced and was only mildly roasted ????. The only platter that was good was a gujrati farsaan platter. Everything else was literally a waste of money.
Next we ordered for Chettinad Vegetable curry, Paneer Korma and Dal Pappu in the main course. Out of which the latter was pretty good, but Chettinad curry and paneer korma was not even palatable. Curry leaves and pepper rice was good.
All in all, the worst fine dining experience ever !!
Pls avoid ! They couldn't pull off the recipes well.
