Food For the Gods

I have written about Ambrosia before, but I was there again last Sunday and I am quite frankly yet to find a place (In Koramangala) which serves an excellent array of both Indian and Continental food. My previous trips there have begun and ended with Buffalo Wings and Stroganoff but this time I had decided on trying the other options available. But then though we did order stuff other than the 2 mentioned above, the “ Buffalo Wings and Stroganoff” have become a staple order from me and I couldn't resist ordering them over again. Also what I did ensure this time was arming up with my camera. A food review without pictures don't generally allow the readers to “Salivate”.

Starters consisted of “Buffalo Wings” and a mid sized “Tandoori Pomfret”. My uncle got a bit scandalized by seeing me order “Buffalo Wings” till I showed him this had nothing to do with a “Buffalo”. The name comes from the city of the dishes origin ie Buffalo New York. The locals their refer it to as “Buffalo Wings” than call it “Chicken Wings”. Ideally the wings are deep fried or grilled and then coated with “Cayenne Pepper Sauce”. Ambrosia serves it grilled along with a “Blue Cheese Dip”. The sweet peppery chicken along with a sour cheese sauce is a heavenly combination.

Now the “Tandoori Pomfret” we did order isn't exactly a starter, rather it is full entree meal coming along with a bowl of “Pudina Jeera Rice”. The fish however was superb. Fresh and large, with a moist, flaky interior, covered with a crispier outside coating. What I like about the “Tandoor” dishes here is the complete non usage of any “Red Colour” which seems to the sad case with any other restaurants in Bangalore.

Main course my Uncle and Aunt choose to have “Indian”. We ordered “Mutton Lababdar”. The best thing here is the wide array of quality food choices available here. Though their Continental food is good it isn't that the Indian section gets overlooked or taken for granted. There is something for everyone over here. The meat was tender and cooked to perfection and would renew your love affection with the dish over again. Order some “Naans” and rice to go with the dish.

As for the main dishes for my bother, sister and myself we decided to go with with the show stopping

“Flam be” dishes served here. While I had a “Stroganoff” my sister ordered a Chicken Ratatouille and my brother ordered a Chicken Diane. The Ratatouille came with chicken breasts along with veggies and pasta. Both the Stroganoff and the Chicken Diane was prepared and flamed right in front of us. Both of it came with a rich cream sauce along with rice and veggies to go with it.

Already stuffed to the brim there wasn't space for desserts but then one look at the Tiramisu made us order for 2. All in all a heavenly meal at a place which claims it serves “Food For the Gods”.
