Good food, better service and the best ambience make the restaurant, Fio
Cookhouse and Bar a perfect place to dine, feels rakesh kumar
A restaurant usually becomes popular for eit
her its food or ambience,
but the Fio Cookhouse and Bar seems to be blessed with both. Nestled in
the buzzing business district of Nehru Place, the restaurant offers
Indian and European cuisine. It is a place where even the exteriors are
very inviting and catch attention. Right from the Al fresco area to the
space inside, different themes have been put together beautifully. The
bookshelf, the huge showpiece racks placed above the live kitchen and
dim light make it perfect for a romantic evening.
The menu was full of Indian as well as Italian delicacies. While you are looking through the menu, a basket of bread with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and other condiments will be served. As you dip the bread and take a bite, you will not take any time to realise that not only ambiance but the food is equally good here. We moved to the counter to check out some salad, though the place offers a huge option of salads on their menu. On the recommendation of the restaurant's chef Rajiv Shetty we opted for the Fio Special Salads. For appetizer, we tried for Spit Fired Chicken and Amritsari Murg Tikka and selected a mocktail Hot Wired. The chicken was very tender and eating it with the peri peri sauce boosted its taste. While we were busy tasting food, the chef, who was sitting with us, informed that a number of the ingredients in the dishes came from the restaurant's own nursery.
Now it was time to move for the main course, where there were handcrafted Italian favourites, infused with elusive herb flavours, like Olive Crusted Rawas, Roasted Hunter Chicken, Ananas Glazed Pork Chops. From the Indian kitchen, we were offered in-house curries, frontier kebabs and the choicest of Chargrilled and Pan grilled meats, Pondicherry Prawns, Kalonji Paneer, Grand Trunk Mutton Curry and Mutton Nalli Pulao and many others. We ordered black pepper chicken, cookhouse char grilled chicken and from the vegetarian section we tried Cassoral. Though the Black Pepper Chicken was a bit oily, we couldn't resist eating it. After this there was no room left for dessert, yet we tried it too. Sweet sin ~ freshly baked cake along with raisin cake creamwas served to us.After having a spoonful we were transported to another world. This dessert is highly recommended. Another dessert that came to the table was Banoffee Jar ~ toffee cream and caramel banana which simply dissolved in the mouth.
Verdict: It is definitely a must try out with your family/friends...or for a romantic evening out!
