A Tale of Two Restaurants

Two nights, two restaurants, two very different experiences.

Last night it was Sigree, at the very end of DP Road, behind Mainland China. While we had visited the area dozens of times earlier, we had not visited Sigree. They have an outdoor seating with a buffet spread, and a la carte dining inside. We chose indoors. While the place was large and pretty full, with maybe 200 diners, it was also very spacious, comfortable and relaxed. We ate like crazy, the Adraki Lamb, Lamb Soup and the Rogah Josh was simply out of the world. So were the Mushroom Shabnam and Paneer Rawalpindi. When we finally licked down the last of the huge kulfis, we could barely walk. It had been a totally awesome experience!

Today, it was Flags. A restaurant that used to be extremely high on my list. Untill now. Apparently they went in for a make over. The new interiors are very inconvenient and impractical, making it impossible for the waiters to serve you properly. The food has turned from awesome to poor, with the mocktails being the worst. The worst was the music, loud and dicso, just completely at odds with the candles on the tables, and loud and jarring enough to make you want to run out. A truly disappointing experience.

So next time you are looking for a nice dinner... Sigree it should be!
