Now let’s talk about food. Food menu is very unique and nicely curated. Asian, continental, Indian all you can get in here.
Mutton kheema panipuri is something you shouldn’t miss when you visit TTD. Crispy semolina puffs served along with condiments – Tasty mutton kheema, spiced peas, boiled spiced potato and pandhara rassa (Mutton stock cooked with coconut milk and spices).
From left – Prawns koliwada, Multani stuffed mushrooms, A platter of malai kebab, achari kebab and theecha kebab.
Top most recommendation is Multani stuffed mushrooms. Mushrooms made with multani style, spiced to perfection and stuffed with creamy irresistible ingredients. One just can’t stop eating these beauties.
Prawns koliwada is again a great dish with spiced coated crispy prawns which are juicy from inside.
Kebabs were great too especially the malai kebab which was mildly spiced mughlai kebab with creamy texture and smokey flavor. Theecha kebab were also good ones with perfectly spiced (with assal thecha) and grilled to perfection.
Melon and feta being my favorite salad I would highly recommend this one!
Veg caldin with coconut rice and Cheesy chicken bunny chow these two mains we tried. Veg caldin with coconut rice won my 💓. Inspired from goan specialty the caldin with is rich coconut milk based gravy served along with grainy coconut rice and sauteed veggies like carrots, french beans, peas. The bunny chow was also a good one with perfectly cooked cheesy chicken.
When at TTD do not miss their dessert offerings. I tried Cheesecake with passion fruit glaze and Frozen hot chocolate (My favorite dessert from their earlier venture The Ugly Duckling)
Final Verdict –
Food – 4.5/5
Service – 5/5
VFM – 5/5
