Good
Oriental food- discreet but tasty !!
In search of something different to eat when you are fed up of fast food, south indian darshini and north indian food..........
we chanced upon this restaurant on 100ft road. Very discreet and almost missed noticing it.
This oriental restaurant boasts of 3 types of cuisines. Primarily Thai, but also lesser known authentic chinese and even indonesian cuisines.
The interior was very pleasing, if a lil too much red, but then its the signature colour, so cant complain. The seating was very well laid out, even though one got the feeling that the tables were a tad too close, we had the required privacy through out the meal. we didnt even notice our fellow diners, that says something!!
The music was very soft,and we could converse easily without our neighbours overhearing.Coming to the service, it was top notch. as is the custom the hostess was very authentic and looked the part, but the waiters were very desi, but that didnt take away one bit from super service.
Now, the food. Being a vegetarian, its very evident that unless the food measures up we cant recommend it. so ill say it was a super meal that we ate there. The maitre'd was very helpful without being pushy, helped choose dishes what would suit our palate, asking our choices beforehand. He even went to suggest a dish that wasnt in the menu to suit our choice of main courses. The food was excellent and very well served. Mugen also has a bar and does serve liqueur.
On the whole its very nice restaurant, if u want to go somewhere for some quiet conversation and good wholesome food. i wud recommend the pad thai. it was superb and the helping was just right.
On the wallet factor i would add that its a tad expensive. For a couple having vegetarian food it cost us 1200/- .
but on the brighter side, its a perfect place if u want to take ur client, GF etc.
Mugen.............................worth checking out for the food.!!

Excellent
Superb afghan food!
For anybody who hasnt tried afghani food, Samarkhand is a must.
The restaurant is located on Infantry Road, and to reach. As such its a popular eatry, and hence reservatoin is a must. The decor is very nice, but appears a bit crowded. samarkhand sports an open kitchen, ie. its walls are glass and provides one with a clear view of eveything that goes on in there...
Coming to the food and the service. the service is very good, and the waiters are dressed in the traditional garb, and very attentive to your needs.
The unique menu card, is in the form of a local newspaper. One can read snippets of afghani lifestyle, their beliefs, traditions etc, interspaces with the menu. Makes for pleasant reading. The food is really devine. being a vegetarian, i will vouch for a really delicious and scumptous meal there. I ve heard from fellow diners that the non-veg is uncomparable!
The wallet factor: its a little heavy on the the purse, a meal for 4 will be around 2000/- ( including drinks)
