An Ordinary Dinning Experience at Yellow Chilli, Pacific Mall Kaushambhi

The Yellow Chilli, a family restaurant, Sanjeev Kapoors Khazana is located at Pacific Mall, Ghaziabad. If you are a first time visitor of the mall, and are aware of Yellow Chilli because it is a restaurant opened by great chef Sanjeev Kapoor then you will be bound to visit it. I did the same and below is my experience with the restaurant -

I didn't have a good time in Yellow Chilli Restaurant. With the name associated with this resto bar, I am really disappointed with every aspects of this place. If talk about its interior, ambiance, services and most importantly the food. The Menu offers alot and that too with some never heard before, unique and unusual dish names like Shabnam Ke Moti, Amritsary Machli, Lawrence road tandoori murgh, Puran Singh Da Tari Waala Murgh and more. But, unfortunately, the taste  isn't unique and different. The food was similar to what we can experience at any take away food point or some local restaurants near your home. There is nothing special about this place to talk about.                                                                                                                                             
   
Now, talking about the food, we started with the Peppery Kasoori Fish Tikka (395/-), Murgh Angar Bedgi (285/-), Head Banger - a mocktail (125/-). Both dishes have 6 medium size cubical pieces of fish/chicken tasting like anyone can cook at home, simply roasted in a microwave with no fuss or minimum efforts served along with 3 or 4 rings of onion and green curd-corriander chutney. Head Banger tasted like a syrup while the ingredients had banana, mango juice and milk in it. This was my wife's choice as she wanted some milk in her mocktail. Both of us didn't like that overpowering, strong flavour of a "certain" syrup.

With almost disappointed with the starters and had almost lost the trust over their chef, we made a move and planned to had dinner - something extra spicy and tasty. I ended up ordering Murgh Mirch Khadai (INR 365), Lasooni Naan (INR 60/-), Pudina Parantha (50/-) in the main course.  Chicken dish was not spicy at all rather it was more salty and tasted like kadhai chicken. Pudina paratha was very thick and non crispy, Lasooni naan was ok.  It was very disappointing dinning experience at Yellow Chilli and desperately wanted to finish ASAP. Service was average, most of the servers seemed confused of what they are doing and what they have to do. I certainly cannot not prefer it to anyone to go and try. I didn't find any dish special to be captured, but still took some for your reference.
