Review:
Smoke House Deli
To start we are served with a bread (in cute sack) and some flavoured butter. Didn’t impress me much and they didn’t refill it either going forward.
To quench our thirst we order for Melon Sangria & Kiwi, Cantaloupe, Melon & Lemonade Mocktail. The Melon Sangria to my surprise came in sparkling wine, which wasn’t what I expected. I told the waiter that I was expecting the red wine Sangria. He twitched a bit explained to me that melon sangria was white but politely went back to get me the Sangria Rosso. It feels great when the staff at restaurants really take care of your needs rather dismissing you. Hospitality isn’t just serving people it’s much beyond. Delight would be close but beyond that too. The Sangria Rosso – was nectarius mix of fruity flavours! The Kiwi, Cantaloupe mocktail was refreshingly soothing!
Next
we move on to Lemon+Dill Cambodian Basa
oak smoked pimento & Garlic Sauce – Marinated in batter the fish was soft
and succulent. It had this herbaceous Lemony zing to it.
A meal for 2 would cost between Rs.2000
- 2500/- with alcohol

You
enter Smoke House Deli and you get the feeling that Snow White could have
stayed here. White washed walls with cryptic, ‘hand made black marker’ kind
of designs. A book shelf, a gramophone and a bar, all in one place! Riyaaz
Amlani has sure given alot of thought to the design of his new brainchild.
The
menu at Smoke House looks very limited while it has good range – soups,
salads, pastas, mains & desserts; the choices in these categories are not
many. And more so I think the vegetarian options are sparse.

| Mushroom Risotto |
We
dived right into the mains with Smoked
Mushroom Risotto – thought Arborio rice was not cooked to well. Not the al
dente kind. Also the flavours were quite disappointing. Too bland! The next
dish Peri Peri Smoked Chicken + Pimento
Reduce was scrumptious – grilled chicken breasts drizzled with pimento
(bird chillie) sauce. Both Peri Peri and Pimento originate from these bird
chillies of African. They add a beautiful piquant aroma! The Chicken Peri Peri
was a dish full of such enticing flavour.

Quick Tip:
On the weekend, after exploring the pathetic sale at Zara & Mango at

Peri. You just might get over not having shopped for anything!
