Deja vu

Indijoe Sizzlers is located right opposite Empire on the rather crowded Church street.The first impression of this place as I walked on was 'Oh my god, its another TGIF'!The interiors are completely a carbon copy of what TGIF looks like,with great paraphernalia like old dart boards,CD skins and what not all over the walls...even the seats are just the same.So all in all, I felt good at this place, it has a comfortable and cosy feeling to it with some very good music, I was feeling very jolly about the whole thing.

The beverage menu is not that extensive on both the cocktails as well as the mocktails front.We ordered a Bora Bora Brew(ginger ale based mocktail) and a November Freeze(I might be wrong on the Freeze).The former was a pleasant moctail while the latter was just awfully sugary syrup in a glass!Ok now we went on to the main menu which I must say has a very large list of steaks and sizzlers so we had plenty to choose from.For starters we ordered the Southwestern potato twisters which I think was Mexican, the portion was way too large for 2 people and the taste didnt do anything great for me, in fact it reminded me of curly fries bhel puri.For the main course, I had Stuffed mushrooms with herb rice in smoked Barbeque sauce(I asked them to give this to me in garlic sauce instead as I was told the barbeque sauce was sweet) and my friend had the Garlic steak with mushrooms.I hated my steak unfortunately tho I did like the sauce, it reminded me too much of the Indian version(think Kobe) of a sizzler where theres too much vegetable and what not thrown into a heap and you get very tired digging through it!The mushrooms though stuffed with spinach and cheese was crumb fried and I do not like crumb fried anything.My friend did say his steak was rather good , so I guess it really mattered on an individual's taste here rather than the quality of the food itself.

Things definitely worth mentioning is that the service is very courteous(though I did start getting very annoyed when for the 3rd time I was asked if the food was good!).You can ask for extra sauce(pepper/garlic/barbeque whatever you like) and they provide it willingly enough.The ambience is very good and probably more suited towards a group of 5 or so meal rather than for 2 - 3 people.Overall this place seemed to me a combination of the TGIF ambience with the Kobe sizzlers' food quality(a very strong sense of deja vu hence!)...hmm, wonder if their staff is made of people from both these places :)!
