For a Change

So the restaurant opened in its new avatar a couple of days back. The changes are certainly for the better,with the interiors exuding warmth and giving the impression of a fine-dining place. The open kitchen is still in the spotlight,but the renovated bar has a comfortable lounge area that has been added next to it. “We wanted it to represent aromatic ingredients,just like what Sofrito means in Spanish,” says Walia,who roped in interior designer Anu Bains to make the alterations.

The menu has also undergoneminor changes. “Though Mediterranean food got a thumbs up,the diners wanted more choice,” says the restauranteur,who now provides Indian cuisine as well.

Apart from the usual dal,paneer and butter chicken,there are some interesting dishes like Dahi Ke Kebab (Rs 195) and Rajma Galouti (Rs 225). The latter is a Lucknowi delicacy that is accompanied with a Ulte Tawe Ka Parantha. The main course also has South Indian dishes like Butter Garlic Prawns (Rs 495) and Fish Gassi (Rs 595).

The choice available might add to the restaurant’s popularity,but a visit to Sofrito is incomplete without gorging on the Mediterranean fare — dig into Spanish Tapas,Catalonian Paellas,Italian Risotto,French Bouillabaisse,Ratatouille or the Mezze platters from the Middle East.
