Restaurant Review: 

Peninsula Grand  Hotel

A picture of their signature desert, Madhur Milan

The hotel offers a Sunday brunch with unlimited food and beverages and one spa treatment priced at Rs 1111. We found the mocktails, all the paneer food items, Madhur Milan (desert).

Ambiance

 Overall, the comfy seating and soft music made the whole experience comfortable.

Food and beverages

The brunch offers unlimited food and beverages. Those who prefer to have a cool side drink, we would recommend you to choose it from the range of mocktails that they serve; the peach iced tea being one of them. The welcome drink, butter milk was quite refreshing.

The buffet comprises of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. For the starters they had soups, salads, chaats and a variety of appetizers. But we found the salads and chaat to be slightly bland in taste with some of the spices missing. Of all the food items that we had we would recommend you the mushroom manchow soup, fish tikka, spicy paneer cutlet, chicken kebabs pahadi, sangam kebabs, tandoori mushroom, paneer kurkure and budhha dumplings.

The main course includes Indian and  oriental dishes of which murgh afghani, paneer chatpata with stuffed (garlic cheese/ methi) Indian breads and dal jaipuri with chutney pulao are excellent. 

In deserts ala carte dish Madhur Milan, which had a layer each of gulab jamuns, boondi and rabdi garnished with dry fruits, is excellent. The rum balls in chocolate and fruit custard are also a must try.
