Fare Enough

The menu isn’t pretentious either. Since it’s a restaurant in hotel,the primary target of which,are the in-house guests,it’s understandable why Glaze offers popular favourites hand-picked from multi-cuisines. There’s everything from Mughlai to Oriental to Continental,but there’s no plump show,instead a slim,careful selection. From murg malai tikka to seekh kebabs,spring rolls to prawns and pasta,there’s something to please all palates.

We choose to stick to oriental and order a steamy chicken hot and sour soup along with spiced honey chicken to start with. The service is quick and the spicy honey chicken dish came as a huge portion of eight drumsticks and lasted us through the main course. For the latter we order Thai chicken red curry along with vegetable fried rice. Though we wanted to order Chinese vegetable fritters as well,the steward politely pointed out that we were over-ordering. A few minutes later when the dishes arrive,we realise that he was absolutely right. The rice dish was good for three and the red curry for two people. The only grouse is that the curry’s flavour was overpowered by galangal and the chicken in the curry was a bit chewy. But the pleasant ambience and efficient service made up for it. Glaze is ideal for a lazy luncheon or quiet dinner and unlike it’s name,it’s elegant and more of a matte than a super glossy spread.
