Bon south - A review

Well I had a chance to taste the Bon south's cuisine and here comes the review direct from my heart and tongue.

If you Don't have patience to read whats below here is the summary:

--> Food variety minimal, preparation is average, price is high, ambiance is really good, some abstruse beverages they have which are pathetic. Over all it does not make up a great lunch.

Detailed review:

Once you are in there you have two options: to choose the buffet priced at Rs 295/- + Taxes or à la carte which is really over priced.

We opted buffet with anticipation. The table was well arranged, just that the food to follow was not par with it. It started with Soups (Chicken sorba and/or tomato rasam). Well chicken thing was bad and rasam was good.

They brought some masala vada of size too small to be called vada so they named it otherwise. And chicken pepper dry. Which was little to dry and left all the scope of garnishing unutilized. Anyway the service was really poor, cause at any point of time you take a look on the table you find the water glasses empty, starter places vacant and no chutney or sauce to go with the starter.



Well hopeful about the main course we leaped to grab the bigger plate but terribly disappointed not to find anything worth filling it. Biriyani was too naively prepared, mutton was not fresh, chicken curry was floating on a curry which apparently had nothing but artificial color in it. The raita was good. So we had plane rice, raita and some daal fry. They had some veg curry which had no vegetables in it anyway.

Feeling taken in by the showed off arts, well arranged tables and a warm welcome we food the food rather cold. Heading for the dessert section which seemed really deserted actually we found nothing but vanila ice cream and a south indian preparation of moong daal, the daal was a good different taste and vanila ice cream tasted as usual.

So over all the service was slow and you feel unattended.
Food gave no further addition to different culinary experience and rather a turn off.
And final verdict would be a no.

Truly
