#FoodShaukeen #CiGusta #RefreshingMenuPreview Ci Gusta! is no new name for the folks who love desserts. Their Gelatos are freshly made everyday with uber-premium quality. They have now introduced Shakes,Sundaes and few other signature dishes including gelato burgers in their menu to tantalize our taste buds even better. We have tried quite a few of them and each of the shake/sundae was insanely rich and premium in quality that you feel full easily by having just half of their shakes. Thus their pricing is justified ;) . Some of my best picks in shakes were Berry & Cheese which had a delicious mix of forest berries and Cheese giving you the feel of yummm. Rocky Rocher is another awesome shake that was scrumptious. Mocha Magic is a paradise for the coffee lovers. Cizzookie which comes with 3 different gelatos almond,salted caramel and choco hazel with hot cookie base. Mix of hot Cookie and cold gelato went on very well and truly delicious. Of the available variants, best one for me was Salted Caramel. Gelato burgers, a combination of super soft burgers and gelatos (of your choice) is a fiesta to your belly. Haven't seen such combo anywhere yet, and this surely gonna be a huge hit in their new menu. Of the Gelato Sundaes, Triple Chocolate which has different flavors of chocolate added into it along with brownie was scrumptious. A must try (y) . Ci gusta Hyderabad Hitech City has again proved that why its ones of the best desserts galore in the city. They are very close to 3 years of their establishment and you never feel that its as old as it claims, given they always come up with new menu. Great work Naineni Hanumanth and team for delighting us with your innovations. All the best :) . PS: All the samples were on the house.

One of the first place I rated 5/5 in Zomato.. The place may be small and compact but the food delivered an awesome punch of flavours.. Service from Praveen Kumar notches it up another level.. One of the few places were as a hard core foodie, I felt completely satisfied from start to end... The climax was a blockbuster with their signature pan gelato.. A must go place in my dictionary ..

We visited this restaurant on a thursday night at around 10pm on a recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. We ordered chicken peri peri pizza which was delicious. It had good amount of toppings and the taste was really good. We had a Perfect thin crust pizza after a very long time.

We had also ordered hazelnut cappuccino which was too sweet for our taste and would prefer little less sweetness.

We also had fish lemon (basa grilled). The taste was really good and the texture of the fish was perfect. Quantity was little less though. We finished it within a minute of arrival, it just melted in our mouth and left us craving for more.

Ended with gelato black chocolate small scoop. It was worth it!

Overall we would rate it 4.5/5. Reducing .5 stars for the quantity. Service was good but a tad slow. Ambience at this place is really good and spacious!

We would probably try their pastas and burgers next time !

Tried penne pasta in two varieties. First one was penne pasta with the base of parmesan and cream sauce. The second was penne pasta with tomato and herb sauce. Both were absolutely tasty and creamy. Very mild and and soothing to the palette. In the dessert, my personal favorite was blueberry cheesecake. Very tasty and not overly sweet. Just the right amount of sweet.

Ci Gusta!
Iā€™m sure youā€™ll love it !

Ci Gusta is an Italian Gelato which means `We like it ā€˜.
This popular Italian franchise which serves a wide variety of exuberant Gelatos has its outlet setup at Madhapur, Hyderabad.
This causal dining outlet/cafe serves from colourful Artisan Gelatos to early morning strong and good premium coffees.
It serves moderately priced food in a comfortable ambience which provides an affordable dining experience .
It is just two feet from the busiest roads of Madhapur with a quaint atmosphere, perfect for someone who loves Italian cuisine.
Iā€™ve been to this outlet with a group of foodie friends for a Sunday morning breakfast.
As it was Sunday morning things were slow at the cafe , `rather meditative ā€˜.
The atmosphere was calm and the ambience seemed bright with colourful photo frames of food, circular mirrors and other basic decor.
An L - shaped counter displaying colourful flavours of Gelatos can be viewed as you enter through the main entrance and as you pass through them youā€™ll find small to high end electric coffee machines on the longitudinal side of the counter with a pleasant aroma of coffee oozing out of the equipments.
On the right side thereā€™s a comfortable seating area with movable wooden tables by the glass end of the outlet and low sofa seating towards the spacious inner area of the cafe.

We started with English breakfast buffet which included crispy toast with butter/jam , fried eggs with perfectly cooked whites and runny yolk , sliced tender chicken breast sausages which had distinctive flavour, perfectly baked beans , fluffy hash browns fried to perfection served along with slightly spicy and sweet tomato chutney.
This complete breakfast tray looked like a premium morning breakfast served at a star hotel, which costs only 399/- at this outlet.

Chicken chorizo
Fried eggs with perfectly cooked whites and yolk that flows as you disturb it with the cutlery is topped with flavoursome onion gravy served along with crusty toast in a blue ceramic bowl was an eye candy to look at.

Homemade Granola
This dish couldnā€™t get any better!
This was a light and healthy breakfast dish which included crunchy granola with apple and strawberry segments served along with milk.

Foxtail Millet Upma
Foxtail Millet popularly know as Thinai in India is said to be one of the most healthiest breakfast dish and also easy to prepare.
This one was light , colourful looking with veggies and a splash of tomato chutney and coriander garnish.
This dish lightens up your mood and gives you a fresh feel.

Pancakes , Crepeā€™s & Waffles
It felt like a perfect weekend morning with fluffy pancakes in my plate. The pancake had perfect chewable texture and tasted fantastic with maple syrup.

This outlet serves thin and delicious crĆŖpes with a layer of fresh cream ,fruits and maple syrup topping. Garnishing with mint leaves made it look appealing and mouthwatering.

The bubble waffles were a eye catchy fancy dish which was crispy fun and delicious dish to eat at this outlet.
The presentation of this dish made it a photogenic delicacy and also a perfect treat to the tastebuds on a lazy sunday morning .

Ci Gusta in Italian means We Like It and I couldnā€™t agree more when I was invited for their new breakfast menu. They serve this from 8am to 12pm and have healthy and vegan options too. The Foxtail Millet Upma is served with tomato chutney and vegetables. The Homemade Granola is prepared with organic coconut oil, almond flakes, coconut chips and served with milk.

ā€˜Ci gustaā€™ located at the busy lanes of Kavuri Hills is acclaimed to serve Italian culinary masterpieces around the world in their signature cafes. With all day al-fresco dining experience from sunrise to sunset, from breakfast to dinner, they serve the best culinary masterpiece on your plate with the authentic Italian taste within a price range that you can afford. The vibrant artworks on the wall paired with elegant yet cozy decor is a delight to the senses. Famous for their Artisan gelato, desserts, pizza & pasta they also serve delectable vegan dishes. This cute little cafe is perfect for an endless conversation over a cup of coffee and a delectable platter of fine Italian breakfast.

We were invited for a bloggers session and the review for the restaurant is as follows


The ā€˜Rose Chamomile Teaā€™ was soft and calming and was a perfect start to the breakfast odyssey. The ā€˜Quinoa Hash Cakeā€™ were deliciously crispy served alongside baked beans stew and cheese sauce.The ā€˜Chicken Chorizoā€™ was one pot dish that had explosion of flavours from the well seasoned ground meat cooked in a signature stew, topped with cherry tomatoes and served along toasted bread with butter , sunny side up egg and fresh rosemary. The ā€˜Homemade Granolaā€™ had healthy granola, almonds flakes, coconut chips etc. served with low fat milk, fresh cut fruit and honey.The ā€˜Fox Millet Upmaā€™ served wit tomato chutney was a wholesome healthy breakfast in itself. The ā€˜English Breakfast Platterā€™ was a wide spread that served fried eggs, chicken sausages, bacons, hash brownies, baked beans, buttered mushrooms, toasted bread with butter and jam. The ā€˜Vegetarian Breakfast Platterā€™ had similar spread served with a besan ka chilla instead of the fried eggs and sausages.

The ā€˜Ci Gusta Parfaitā€™ had sugar free low fat yoghurt, fresh fruits, granola and drizzled with raspberry puree and sliced almonds. The ā€˜Fluffy Pancakesā€™ were presented to perfection, drizzled with maple syrup and served alongside fresh cream and cut fruits. The ā€˜Bubble Waffleā€™ had crispy edges and soft gooey centre and chewy bubbles that went well with fresh cream and fruits on the side.The ā€˜Desert Crepeā€™ was also a noteworthy dish that we relished.

Weā€™ve heard it and know it by heartā€”the often-repeated mantra, ā€œbreakfast is the most important meal of the day.ā€ Get your day off to the perfect healthy start of the day with Ci Gusta's healthy breakfasts, low in sugar and fat and bursting with nutrients. Ci Gusta is a rather fantastic Italian restaurant offering one of the most delicious and nutritious breakfast menus in the whole of Hyderabad. It is ideal for people who are bored with the usual egg on toast option, as every dish is full of exciting flavours and bursting really healthy fresh ingredients. Located in Jubilee Hills, Ci Gusta's interiors are kept simple and sophisticated with cool colors like white and blue, with a seating capacity of 25-30 people.Other than their Healthy breakfast, they have some of the best Italian dishes at this place.From their breakfast menu, I have tried their Foxtail millet Upma,which is a South Indian style upma made from Foxtail millet, vegetables, and spices. This fulfilling healthy dish is loaded high on nutrition, low in calories and is a perfect choice for all those who are looking for healthy south Indian breakfast. English Breakfast Platter: This platter consists of Fried eggs, sausages, chicken, hashbrown, buttered mushroom, tomato chutney, toast with butter and Jam. If you are into English Breakfast, this is your thing.Vegetarian Breakfast Platter: This platter is similar to the English Breakfast platter. The only different thing is that the Omelet is replaced with Veg Omelet. Veg Omelet is basically, Besan Chilla which is a delicious, low-calorie, fluffy vegan omelet made with chickpea flour, not eggs. Quite a good option for vegetarians.Quinoa Hashcake: They have a given a healthy makeover to the hashcakes, by making them with Quinoa. They are served on a bed of baked beans stew and cheese sauce. These gluten-free hash browns are crispy, packed with protein, and super satisfying. Homemade Granola : This energy-boosting healthy breakfast cereal, granola, is paired with organic coconut oil, almond flakes, coconut chips; along with hot milk is given in a bottle. That's a perfect breakfast to start the day.Ci Gusta Parfait: This is the star dish!! Fresh fruits, Granola, and low-fat yogurt are stuffed in a huge glass. Perfect combination!! Not only this, but they also have a huge display of Gelato counter with different artisan flavors. Overall, Ci Gusta is a must-visit, as every dish on the menu is worth a shot!

Ci Gusta is one of the iconic places in Hyderabad which is somewhat familiar with every food enthusiastic. I have been regularly visiting them and I donā€™t have any doubt in saying that it serves one of the best pizzas and gelatos in the city.

I recently visited over to try out their breakfast menu. Unlike most of the other outlets, this place starts serving food at 8am and it goes up to 12 pm noontime.

To begin with my experience, I had their Homemade granola, Vegetarian breakfast platter, English breakfast platter, Foxtail millet upma and Quinoa hash cake.

The homemade granola was the perfect thing to begin the day with. It had fresh granola topped with almond flakes, coconut chips and served with hot milk. Simply loved the dish. Next up, their foxtail millet upma and the quinoa hashbrowns were super yummy. The upma was served with a tangy tomato chutney and the hashbrowns were served on a base of baked beans. Must try.

The platters over here are huge and a whole lot of emphasis is given on the quality of the produce they use. The veg and non veg platter comprised of Sunny side up fried eggs, sausage, chicken bacon whereas the veg version had veg omelette made which was somewhat close to a veg chilla, hash brown, baked beans, sautƩed mushrooms and toast. Simply delicious is all I could say.

I must say that they also serve some of the best beverages in the town. I had given a shot to their CafƩ mocha, Hazelnuccino, Cappuccino, peach tea and green tea. The beverages served here are freshly brewed and the best part is that they are readily available from early morning. Must try.

For desserts, I had their Bubble waffle and fluffy pancake. Both the preparations were terrific. I had a berry compote waffle which had a generous topping of blueberry, maple syrup and nuts. Highly recommended. The pancakes were also fluffy and were served with maple syrup. Must try. You can request for extra maple at time if you require.

All in all, I feel that their breakfast menu is a huge hit and is certainly going to be a highlight of Ci Gusta in the coming days.

Morning breakfasts are something very essential to kick start your day with energy but we always feel lazy to go out and have a good breakfast and rather do something quick at home. A break fast option should be so tasty ,that you would want to get up of your bed and take that 10-15 mins time to go to your nearby cafe. Ci gusta has done really that I feel and anywhich ways their new breakfast menu is sure to pull you to their cafe. Ci gusta means we like it in spanish ans is actually the brand nane of the italian gelato whoch they also serve. With their healthy bhi tasty bhi mantra ,they are sure to please all fitness freaks and health concious folks .

Ambience : the place is neither too small nor too big. Its simplistic and looks more like an icecream porlour to be frank but after all you cant judge a book by its cover. They have beautiful mirrors and wallframes hanging .

New Breakfast menu :

We tried

1. Foxtail millet upma (5/5) : the upma was served with some tomato chutney on top and tasted really delicious and fresh. It is a really great healthy option for all weight watchers.

2. Chicken Chorizo(5/5) : this one was fries sausages with veggies, poached fried egg ,toasted bread with butter. Definitely a wholesome meal.

3. Hash Cakes (5/5) : quinoa hashcakes laid on a bed of baked beans was my favorite. Each bite of the hash cake had so much flavour and it so veey well with the baked beans. I almost eat a full bowl all by myself.highly recommended

4. Homemade Grannola (4/5) : whoever has judged Grannola by eating packaged ones would surely change their mind after tasting this one. It was crisp and tasted so good with warm milk.it had pomagrante seeds and topped with freshly chopped apples . I have given 4 just coz it was little more towards being too Healthy which many people might not go for when in a cafe.

5. English breakfast platter (5/5) : Typical English breakfast which had sausages, bakes beans ,fried egg ,fried mushrooms and potatoes and toast.

6. Ci gusta parfait (5/5) : this one their was definitely the star dessert. It was healthy and so yummy that i couldn'tstop myself at one spoon. It had homemade granola,curd and fruits

7.vegeteranian breakfast platter (4/5): veg platter had chila instead of fried egg and everything else was same as the English breakfast.

8.fluffy pancakes (5/5) : fluffy pancakes were yet another favoriteof mine. Beautifully plated ,it had pancakes and cream and fruits srizzled with maple syrup. The fact that it was not too sweet and was not topped with too much honey or sauces, i liked it even more.

9.bubble waffle (5/5) : bubble waffle was exactly the way it should be. It was topped with some icecream and fruits.

10.caramel crepe (2/5) : highly disappointed by this one. It looked so beautiful but it was so so hard . I am not sure what could be the reason but it was more like a papad than a crepe.

Overall , i liked their new menu and i would definitely recommendall to try this ppace of you are on the quest to find something healthy yet tasty. I hope they work on their crepe but other than that everything seemed perfect.

As much importance as it gets in this day and age, the history of breakfast isnā€™t as glorious as would might think. Largely eschewed by the elite population in almost all fragments of time, breakfasts were seen as a pragmatic necessity purely for the working class to fuel their day of hard and intense labour. Itā€™s said that it was the introduction to beverages like Coffee, Tea as well as Chocolate which finally dismantled the barrier of breakfast, establishing the idea of breaking a night long fast with something delicious, turning them to enthusiasts from adversaries where today breakfast as a meal has become not a prohibition or an acquiescence to the demands of the day, but rather a feast of its own.

Breakfast traditions have seen a changing trends ever since where while parts of Europe indulged in an hefty meat based meal, America went the opposite way demanding a simpler, lighter meals. Following the same pursuit of tracing these institutions is Ci Gusta in the city of Nizams which recently launched their Breakfast menu sporting a compact yet delectable set of dishes starting from the classic Granola with Milk and Full English to the healthier and scrumptious variants like Millet Upma and much more. Priced in a fairly nominal range for the area, the place runs the menu starting early at 8am going till 11am and is surely a must try.

Ci gusta is one place that is known for its gelatos and food. Its difficult to get both of them under one roof but ci gusta manages this from years now.
The consistency is extraordinary, I personally love their gelatos especially for late nights. Their all day menu features some excellent picks but we'll be looking at their breakfast offerings today which they have recently started.

Ambience:
There is not much with the ambience here, its clean with minimal decors and no fuss interiors.
Thats ideal for a cafe with simplistic good food.
They recently got in a dessert and co counter as well, so you have gelatos , European desserts, appetizers and mains at one place.

Food:
The breakfast menu is operational from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m
We started with a foxtail millet upma, might sound like something you wouldn't want to try, but this was actually good. Served with some tomato chutney to add some tang.

When it's English breakfasts I always look for the complete English breakfast combo, their version has fried eggs, chicken bacon, sausages, hash brown, mushrooms, toasted bread with butter and jam. This is a complete wholesome meal and a perfect start for a day. Each side played its part and is close to a classic version.

Chicken chorizo was a stunner, probably one of the top 3 from the menu. The base of onion gravy worked well with the chorizo. The slice of toast adds a much needed carbohydrate component and fills you up. The chorizo is topped with a fried egg.

Quinoa hash cake is a very good option for a vegetarian. The hash cakes are dense with crispu outer, these are served in a pool of baked beans and some mornay sauce.

Apart from the above you also have a vegetarian breakfast platter which has a veg omelette instead of the eggs and chicken sausages. The vegetarian omelette is either the moonglet (commonly called) or a cheela.

The ci gusta parfait was the best for the day, something you should bot miss. Its available throughout the day. It has granola with honey , nuts and fruits layered with frozen yogurt. I'm sure I'll have quite a lot of these in the next few weeks.

The pancakes here aren't the fluffiest but they are at just the right consistency. The batter isn't over mixed and at the same time it doesn't have too much of leavening agents. The pancakes are wholesome and served with a drizzle of honey or Maple syrup and some whipped cream, fresh fruits and some crunch.

Their homemade granola and crepes are decent as well, but the others just took the experience to a different level all together.
The bubble waffles were pretty good as well, both the waffle and crepe is served with a quenelle of gelato.

Service,Pricing and location:
The service is good and prompt. The staff is courteous and attentive, no complaints with it.
The dishes are priced well, good quantity (portion size) for the price.
Its located in kavuri hills, just opposite to beach house and D mart.

It is said that you should have breakfast like a KING, and well indeed, we visited a place called Ci GUSTA, in Madhapur, that has a ravishing breakfast menu, which you must try when in Hyderabad. It starts 8 am and goes till 12 pm the pricing is pretty decent, so what are you waiting for?

Let's jump into the menu šŸ˜:
1. BREAKFAST PLATTER: We had the Classic English Breakfast Platter which had Sunnyside ups, chicken sausages and salami, baked beans, fried mushrooms, toasted bread and some veggies. Just one word, YUMMY. Everything was great, as the name goes, CLASSIC. For the vegetarians out there, you can get the Vegetarian Breakfast too.
2. QUINOA HASH CAKE: We have heard about hash browns, but this one was with quinoa, and the verdict? Super delicious šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜‹.
3. FOXTAIL MILLET UPMA: Something different from your regular upma, this was one with a lot of texture and great flavours.
4. CHICKEN CHORIZO WITH ONION GRAVY: Nothing like I've ever had before. It was a beautiful combination of chicken sausages with onion gravy, topped with a perfect sunny side upšŸ³.
5. CHEESE OMELETTE: Melt in your mouth omelette layers with soft cheese. YumšŸ˜‹.
6. CIGUSTA PARFAIT: This is a must-have. It was a parfait made with layers of granola, cream and yoghurt ice creamšŸ¦and seasoned with freshly cut fruitsšŸ„
7. HOMEMADE GRANOLA WITH MILK: Crunchy granola with warm milk, cut up fresh fruits is so simple, and healthy ā£ļø.
8. DESSERTS: We had Pancakes, Bubble Waffle with Blueberry, and Caramel Crepe. First of all, the presentation was HEAVENLY, and with that the taste was yummalicious. All three were greatšŸ§‡šŸ„ž.
9. TEA: Finally, we had Peach Olong Tea and Sangivini Green Tea. A perfect end to a perfect, filling breakfastšŸµ.

So that's it from Ci Gusta, added to my list of must-visit places in Hyderabad.

With a simplistic yet beautiful ambiance, this place resonates with good energy as you enter it early morning.
Some of the dishes we had and genuinely loved are:

~ Quinoa Hash Cake: This was one of our most favorite dishes of the day. With a golden brown color, these hash cakes were simply marvelous. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, they were a delight to bite into. The flavors were spot on, and the baked beans and cheese sauce complimented the hash cakes perfectly.

~ Foxtail Millet Upma: Yet another beautiful dish, with great flavors are perfectly cooked Millet. This dish is definitely a wholesome breakfast on its own. It is served alongside some homemade tomato chutney.

~ English Breakfast Platter: One of the highlights of the meal, this platter definitely satisfied all the cravings we had for an English breakfast. This was a perfect platter containing all the favorite English breakfast items: Fried Eggs, Sausages, Chicken Bacon, Hash Brown, baked beans, buttered mushrooms, toast with butter and jam, and finally some delicious tomato chutney. It was simply heavenly, and the was packed with flavors.

~ Vegetarian Breakfast Platter: This is similar to the English breakfast platter, without the non vegetarian elements. Instead, it contains a Besan Chila, which tastes good.

~ Homemade Granola with Milk: This bowl of beautiful homemade granola was absolutely delicious. The granola was crunchy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Served with cut fruits and a bottle of warm milk, this is a perfect option to kickstart your day at a healthy note.

~ Cheese Omelette: Yet another favorite dish of the day, this cheesey omelette was love at first bite. It was so soft and fluffy, and literally melted the moment we took a bite. The flavors of the cheese came out beautifully and complimented the omelette really well.

~ Ci Gusta Parfait: This frozen dessert was a delight to eat. With multiple layers of frozen yogurt, granola and fruits, the dessert really stood out for it's beautiful textures and flavors.

~ Caramel Crepe: The first thing that caught our eye was the presentation. It was so beautiful, with the crepe decorated with whipped cream, fruits, basil leaves and caramel sauce. The crepe was soft and delicious, with a perfect balance of sweetness.

~ Bubble Waffle with Blueberry: Another beautiful dessert, with a perfectly cooked bubble waffle. This too was serves alongside some fresh cut fruits, whipped cream and granola. Loved the flavours and all the elements came together to make a beautiful dish.

~ Pancakes: This was our favorite dessert from the meal. The stack of pancakes were simply marvelous, serves alongside some fresh strawberries, maple syrup and whipped cream. The pancakes were so soft and fluffy, and were just the right amount of sweet.

~ Peach Olong Tea: This kettle of hot tea was just the thing we needed after a great heavenly breakfast, to help kickstart our digestion process. The aroma of the tea was really good, and the peach flavors came out really well and subtle.

~ Sangivi Green Tea and Peppermint Tea: Again, two great teas, with a beautiful aroma and good flavours. These flavors are definitely an acquired taste, but once you get that, you'll keep wanting more!

Overall, we had an amazing experience, and our hearts were content to finally find a marvelous place serving breakfast. We loved each and every dish that we had, and would recommend it to all food lovers out there. This place has definitely earned it's place amongst one of our favorite breakfast places ever.

If you're in Hyderabad, there's no way you're missing on this place. Just go there once. In my opinion, the best time to go is the evening time, when the sun is about to set. Now the food, there's nothing that you won't like here. The overall experience is on an entirely different level!!!

Ci gusta is one such place where you can easily gorge onto some amazing healthy breakfast while sipping onto hot coffee on a lazy Sunday morning . Located just opposite to guilt trip , this place provides dishes which are made from top quality ingredients . The ambience of this place is quite subtle and has the sitting capacity of around 30-40 at max . Other than the breakfast , you can easily binge onto some of the best Italian dishes at this place . Iā€™ve been there 4-5 times and had a great experience everytime I visit this place . Was here few days back to check out their new breakfast menu.

Letā€™s start !

We started of our breakfast feast with some amazing cappuccino and hot chocolate . Being a caffeine junkie I just love trying out coffeeā€™s at different places .

After coffee , we tried out some amazing platters .
1.English breakfast: this platter consists of fried egg , chicken bacon , sausages, hash browns , baked beans and sautƩed mushrooms . Quite an healthy option and tasted too dang good !

2 Quinoa Hash Cake : hearty quinoa cake was crumb fried and served on a spicy bean stew . Was a good surprise and something unique !

3 Homemade Granola Bowl : itā€™s a complete meal on itā€™s own . This bowl consists of organic coconut oil , almond flakes and coconut chips .

4 Foxtail Millet Upma : nowadays superfood is the real deal . Turning vegan is very hard choice but when you have dishes like this , itā€™s quite easy as you have lots to choose from .

5 chicken Chorizo : the sausages were served on a bed of onion and tomato sauce . The sauce was very flavourful and had a distinct taste to it . Sausages were very delicious.

All in all a great experience. Some changed here and there can make this place even better . Staff was very humble and looked after us really well .

No better place to be than here to grab a hearty breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning or to grab some quick & healthy breakfast while beating the rush hour.

Was here on a nice sunny Saturday morning to try the all-new breakfast menu launched by Ci gusts, to kick start my breakfast session, I started off with a good cup of coffee while the chef was fixing our breakfast.

The first dish to arrive on the table was the English platter (which is a king-size meal for an average human), however, my hungry soul devoured the delicious sunny side up toasts, along with sauteed mushrooms and baked beans, the only thing that was turn off with this platter was a small cup of jam that was served, while the whole platter was freshly made, this could have been avoided or just served with house-made marmalade.

Next came the hash cakes with a healthy twist, quinoa hashcakes was a take on healthy breakfast, flavoured with a good amount of spices, served with fresh cream and gravy!! while it was wholesome, felt the hashcakes were a bit spicy for my palate however this was an amazing dish.

Following the hashcakes came the popular granola(in house-made) bowl with warm milk, which was again simple and soulful.

Next came the most awaited dish the Chicken Chorizo topped with fried egg and mildly spiced onion and tomato gravy,Ā  this is definitely on top of my recommendation list as the flavours were well balanced and the dish had a proper balance of protein, fats and carbs.

With all the spicy goodness moved to the delicious desserts and staple breakfast favourites, the pancakes and french toasts, which were again a wholesome serving with flavourful ingredients.

The parfait is a must-try dessert if you are someone who doesn't mind treating yourself with desserts in the morning, well-balanced combination of granola, yoghurt and fresh cur fruits makes this dessert climb your favourites list.

Being located at the centre of the Hitecity vicinity, cigusta has definitely positioned itself in a good spot to serve the hungry IT crowd with some amazing breakfast options.

Ci- Gusta is one of the quintessential Places who serves one of the Best Pizza & Gelatos in Hyderabad. They recently came up with their Breakfast Menu which starts from 8:00am -12:00pm .
I Started my Breakfast with their Homemade Granola with Warm Milk , it was the perfect bowl to start my day to start meal. The Granolaā€™s were fresh and Crunchy and no additional Sweetness was added to it.
Vegetarian Breakfast Platter : I was so happy that they added this in their menu. It was Besan ka Chilla which was tasted like an original Home Cooked one. No Additional Things were added in this Cheela.
English Breakfast Platter : it was come up with Fried Eggs , Sausage , Baked beans , Hash Browns, SautƩed Mushrooms and Toast
Foxtail millet Upma : It was different from Regular Upma , it was loaded with Chunky Vegetables. The Tomato Chutney served was Tangy and It Elevates The Healthy Version as per my Taste Buds.
Quinoa Hash Cake : I was amazed to see this Dish , the cakes were served with Baked Beans. The cakes are Potato Free which was perfectly paired with Baked Beans. The Quinoa Hash Cakes were crispy , crunchy Golden brown and it has a fluffy quinoa Exterior.
For Desserts I had their Bubble Waffle & Fluffy Pancake, both tastes Extraordinary The Icing on the cake was their Berry Compote Waffle which took my heart it had an amazing taste also it was topped with Blueberry , Maple Syrup and Nuts.
There Beverages like Green Tea , Peach tea were freshly brewed , no artificial Fragrance were added and this you can get from the morning Itself.
I tasted their Butter As well usually People use Readymade Butter, Cream or the Compote , few of their Items like Cream, Butter and Their Compote are their In-house Production which is one of the highlighting point of this CafƩ.
The Service was Fast and Professionally Handled , talking about the Ambience it was as perfect as the Brand. Would definitely Give my second visit to this place for my Brunch.

"The little energy you obtained from your breakfast can ignite your willingness to kick start. Don't overlook the little energy you have now by fixing eyes on a supposed magical influence farther away!"

I was invited to this place for a review session and it was for the newly launched breakfast menu . It was really calm and peaceful at this place when I went here last weekend. It is at a very easily locatable place, Opposite to DMART, Madhapur.Ā 

I started my day with a cup of hot chocolate. I would say it was quite good and the sweetness was as per my liking, not very sweet and was quite smooth. Then it was followed by homemade granola and warm milk, with the goodness of coconut oil, almond flakes and coconut chips. This bowl also had really good flavour of fresh fruits which were garnished on top of the bowl. I would say this bowl is perfect to kick start your day.

It was followed by veg breakfast platter and non veg breakfast platter. Veg platter consisted of- veg omelet aka besan ka cheela, hash brown, baked beans, buttered mushrooms, tomato chutney, toast and butter/jam. I liked each and every on this plate. The non veg platter was also almost same with additional items- fried eggs, chicken sausages & chicken bacon.

Other items which I tried here are- chicken chorizo(onion gravy, topped with fried egg and toast), foxtail millet upma(served with tomato chutney and veggies), quinoa hash cake(served with baked bean stew and cheese sauce).

I really loved the Ci Gusta Parfait- granola, fresh cut fruits and low fat yogurt. Really loved the soothing feel of yogurt with the crunch of granola.

I was not happy with Brioche french toast and bubble waffle. The toast was smelling of raw eggs so I couldn't even have a single bite and the bubble waffle was a bit burnt because of which it was tasting a bit bitter.

"All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast." ......and why wouldn't it?! After all, it's the most important meal of the day, and Ci Gusta has gotten this point just right! Dishing up some all time favorites and a few dishes with their quirky modern twists, Ci Gusta's newly launched breakfast menu is a stunner! I was here on a Saturday morning. The place was bright, fresh and was exactly what you'd need on a lazy weekend morning to pump you up for the rest of the day. A hot cup of coffee welcomed me and there was no looking back! I tried almost everything they had to offer on the new breakfast menu and I must say I was super impressed! I started my break-feast with their homemade granola and warm milk. Packing up the goodness of coconut oil, almond flakes and coconut chips, this power packed bowl was just the perfect way to start the meal! The granola was fresh and crunchy and was naturally sweetened without the need of any additional sweetness.Ā  I then tried their Vegetarian and English breakfast platters. While the classic English version came with the regulars - fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, hash browns, sauteed mushrooms and toast, the herbivore version came with an intuitive "Veg Omelette". It was an oomph-ed up besan ka cheela that tasted very similar to the real one. Kudos to the team for adding this on their menu! One other thing that caught my attention was their hash browns. Unlike the deep fried patties that we are used to, their version had smaller chunks of potatoes and crunchy sauteed peppers that made it a lot more lighter and flavorful. While I finished the platters came in their specialties - Foxtail Millet Upma, Quinoa Hash cake and Chicken Chorizo.Ā  The chicken chorizo had a chicken sausage on a bed of onion and tomato sauce and was topped with a fried egg. The sausage by itself was very well flavored and the tangy sauce balanced with the richness of the egg went really well with it. MUST TRY! The quinoa hash cake was a pleasant surprise! Hearty quinoa cakes crumb fried to perfection, served on a bed of spicy bean stew with a cheese sauce this dish was an absolute winner! The quinoa patties were soft and fried to golden perfection, and the aptly spiced stew was a perfect companion for the rich quinoa cakes. MUST TRY! If you are in the mood for something more old-school, the foxtail millet upma is what you should look at. A healthy alternative to the regular upma, this version cooked in a vegetable stock and loaded with chunky vegetables is sure to hit the right spot. The tangy tomato chutney served along side elevates the rather "healthy" dish. I found the millets to be a little bitter for my liking. I ended the meal with the sweet dishes on the menu. Bubble waffles, pancakes, french toast and parfait made it to the party.Ā  My top pick among these was the parfait. Fresh fruit, granola, chilled yogurt. What more can one ask for?! The bubble waffles came with a blueberry compote that was perfectly sweet and tart. The problem though, was with the waffle itself. It had quite a few crusty (almost burnt) areas and was not very pleasing on the palate. The pancakes seemed a little too dense for my liking. The french toast tasted decent but smelled of raw egg. The garnish on all the sweet dishes too was the same - granola, fresh cream and fruit.Ā  Overall, the savory side of the menu seemed a lot more polished in comparison to the sweeter counterpart.Ā  All in all, with some very minor improvements, Ci Gusta, the icon for froyos and gelatos in the city, is all set to make their mark in the breakfast arena as well!Ā  Service was very friendly and professional. Ambiance as usual was on point. Check out my instagram account @flavorraver for more yumminess!

Visited this place along with my friends late night around 1. Ordered their gelatos kunafa and the hazelnut chocolate which turned out to be good. Kunafa would have been better if the crispyness of kunafa is included a bit higher proportion in the serving cup . Two small cups of gelatos costed around 399.

The ambience at Ci Gusta is very likable, clean cut, crisp, to the point, no nonsense at all.

At least been 3-4 times here, because the double cheese chicken pasta keeps calling me back to have some more of it.

The wings and fish n chips are very flavorful, the way it should be.

Last , and the best was the range of Gelato, which made a minion like me, so so Happy ! I'm coming for you again, Tiramisu !ā¤

I have been to this place at least 7 times now. Everytime I order a tomato basil olive oil bruschetta. The one they make here is amazing. I have tried Pizzas here, which are good. Margarita is specifically worth having at least once. Burger, which was not up to the mark. Pesto pasta was amazing. French fries with cheese were superb. The postion is bit on bigger side.
Ice cream- all the flavors are worth a shot. Special shout out to coffee flavor though, cannot have enough of it. Overall a very good place.

Think of the BEST PASTA IN TOWN and this is the only place I can think of.

The ambience is decent and the gelatos are also a must try but the best thing about this place is The Chicken White sauce Pasta. After trying it here, I can assert that thereā€™s no other place that matches the epicness of a white sauce chicken pasta like Ci-Gusta does.

The restaurant deserves a 3.5 but only for the pasta, Iā€™d give it a 4.

Visited this restaurant for a quick dinner on a Tuesday.It wasn't crowded.The ambience was good enough.It could have more seating space though.
We ordered-
1)Tomato and Olive Bruschetta
2)Spiced Popcorn Flowerets
3)Veg Lasagna Roll
4)The Farmers Market Pizza
5)Tiramisu Gelato
6)A Chocolate Gelato Stick
The service was quick, like really quick.Definitely one of the fastest service I have encountered in any restaurant in Hyderabad.

Coming to the food, firstly the Bruschetta was really good.
The Flowerets tasted like vada with a hard filling.It was able to catch our attention even though it tasted familiar.
The Lasagna could be named 'Baked Cheese with Pasta and Vegetables', seriously šŸ˜œ. It could have more pasta and less cheese in my opinion.It was still a classy dish.
The pizza was one of the best thin crust pizzas I have had.It was truly good.
The Gelatos here are definitely one of the best in town.The Tiramisu one was unique whereas the chocolate was familiar.

This place makes a good destination for a casual lunch or dinner. But,either the prices or the quantities need some work.It IS quite expensive.The ambience needs to be improved to match that standard.
Some of the items in the menu weren't available.There isn't a menu card for the gelatos (no way to know the price either other than asking them).
The washrooms can be improved.
Working on these will give it an even bigger appeal and make it a better restaurant.

One of my to-go places for when you can't decide where to go. The food is great and has some healthy options too. I love their paneer steak. The staff is always friendly and service is fast. But the gelatos are the best I've had in the city. Nobody does chocolate gelato as good as them. And you can try the Kala jamun or paan which isn't too bad either.

Went back to C Gusta for Dinner and I must acknowledge the great food and service. Giving it a 4. Sloppy Joe Burger, Salmon Sandwich , the risotto all stars. The Gelatos yo die for. Well done to the entire team.

The restaurant actually deserves a 4 rating but I have given in a 3 because I hate restaurant staff think I am an idiot and donā€™t know my food. The sea food burger had the calamari rings missing and when I pointed this out, the server said it was ground into a paste and put in the burger. ( the menu clearly says it should have rings). The rest of the food was actually nice - Mushroom Risotto and the all meat Pizza ( lamb chunks were missing but do I dare ask). Deserts were great. Panacotta and the Gelatto are a must try. Service staff were good.

Ambiance - This Italian place has vibrant white and blue color decor with wooden flooring. The moment you enter the place you feel refreshed and the music totally adds to the charm. The service is quite fast. The staff was courteous and willing to let you taste gelatos without raising their eyebrows unlike in outlets like Huber & Holley.

Food - The best part of their food is the quality and freshness of ingredients. They had ensured that those items which come as ready made like ketchups had no extra additives like preservatives.

Spiced popcorn flower - It is similar to Indian pakora but it had broccoli as filling and outer covering is crisp to the perfection. Two dips were given as accompainent one is mild sour tomato based mayo while other is sweet onion based one.
Rating - 4/5

Seven Cheese Melt - It's dish made up of seven different types of cheeses topped with tomato puree and served with toasted bread. The overall Taste of cheeses was mild salty and creamy. You will not feel bored while eating it. However it is difficult to differentiate between the taste of cheeses.
Rating - 4/5

Cinnamacino - Could have been made better. The presentation was well but the coffee is bit watery. However the bitter taste of coffee and flavor of cinnamon was well balanced.
Rating - 3. 5/5

Think of healthy food and most often than not, we get a feeling that the food could be not appealing to the taste buds. But what if I said that health food could be tasty too just with the right ingredients and just made right. Well, you could experience this and a lot more at Ci Gusta located in Madhapur. It's iconic in it's own way as it's the first Italian restaurant that I'm aware of in Hyderabad. We were invited by @gastrohogger #Ghanniversary #HealthyBhiTastyBhi for the third anniversary celebrations and the theme was #HealthyBhiTastyBhi at @CiGusta

After a warm introduction among all the participants where @gastrohogger shared a bit of his vast food knowledge, we headed to have the food prepared by Chef Naresh.

Broccoli and cheddar soup with cheese chips - Was just blown away with the flavors. A must try if you are here

Roasted pumpkin and feta salad & Smoked salmon chlorophyll with almond flakes : I must admit that I'm not a salads person but these salads had the right balance of ingredients and you know that the Chef knows his food.

Starters:
1) Textures of carrots - purĆ©e,pickled ,chips, fried. Only one vegetable used to make this beautiful varieties of textures of carrot šŸ„•
2) Quinoa meatballs with marinara and cheese melt - Ever heard of meatballs made of Quinoa, well, you get them here and it is an absolute winner.
3) Keto Asparagus with ghee hollandaise - Each bite into the asparagus tells you the freshness of the ingredients used. And the rivh ghee can be felt in every bite.
4) Green pea hummus with homemade flaxseed cracker - I just couldn't have enough of this. Green peas hummus came and went in a giffy.

Mains:-

1.Filled Aubergiene with puligore mock meat and curry emulsion - Another dish that came and went before we could realise it. It was that good and kept wanting us to have more. One dish I'm certainly coming back to this place again.
2.Barley and Horsegram Risotto with lentil salad, feta - Has that tanginess in taste and goes very well with an Indian pallette.
3.Crispy lamb with pic - Perfectly burnt to get that taste which is not to be missed. The lamb was cooked with right balance of flavors.

And we ended our meal with some delicious gelatos and you have a wide variety of choice here.

My love for breakfast itself is a complicated relationship. Not because I donā€™t care about it, itā€™s just because I wake up late due to late night shifts. I have been missing a proper breakfast for soo long, but thanks to weekends and Karthik Anna. Catching up with friends on a Sunday morning just out of bed is priceless.šŸ˜‚

We headed to Ci Gusta for their top of the line breakfast which has fans all across. Itā€™s an old cafe loved for itā€™s brekkies and their gelatos. The gelatoā€™s are quite a rage there, and the breakfast is not to be missed either. Thereā€™s a huge lineup of yummy breakfast, but you should not miss few items Iā€™m gonna tell you now. Ci Gusta Parfait, it just has low fat yogurt, granola and fresh fruits. Refreshing is an understatement with this glass of awesomeness! Chicken Chorizzo, is a healthy and lean breakfast option as it has sausages, onion gravy and topped with fried egg & toast. Hash Cakes are such a healthy option, as they are made with quinoa.

Overall it was a great Sunday breakfast experience and all credits to chef naresh for the great food.

A couple of friends and I decided to visit Ci Gusta solely out of curiosity combined with our love for Gelato.

Is it Authentic? That concept is a little debatable... But if I thought of it in general, yes, Ci Gusta is THAT!

I very confidently recommend you to try the Gelatos, as per your likes and regular choices. I wouldnā€™t recommend experimenting though. Personal taste differs and this is not the place to experiment if you are a first time visitor or if you are probably gonna visit this place only once in your lifetime (e.g. Tourists).

Itā€™s a nice and cozy restaurant with modern, 21st century interiors (not typically Italian).
Service is great. It did look a little understaffed for a Sunday but then, it wasnā€™t crowded either. So, no trouble there....

We did try the Cheese Garlic Bread.
And Peru Peru Chicken Thin Crust Pizza.
In short, Loved it!

My personal favorite place it is. It's a very simple place with amazing food served here. While the staff is very friendly ,the Ambience is very average or dull. I would just deduct a mark for not a very perfect Ambience. Food wise it's awesome. In my several visits to this place I have never returned unsatisfied. I loved the Peri Peri chicken BBQ pizza, 2 cheese pasta, chicken breast served with sauteed vegetables, cottage cheese steak. They also serve very good gelato. Overall it's a good place to visit at least once.

Ci Gusta is a very well known Italian Brand with Huge number of ice cream options and many more other lips smacking dishes.

Ambience:-White & Blue was looking really outstanding. It was so comfy at the time I visited.

It was so hard to choose a single ice cream but staff helped us out so easily to pick our favorite.

Finally I ordered a mixture of dark chocolate and blueberry ice cream which was delicious and souršŸ˜…

To have a side,I ordered Chicken Cheesy fries:- This couldā€™ve been better with some more cheesy sauce added and chicken should be shredded. However it was good in taste and delicious.

Overall the place looks really good and is worth visiting again and again with prompt service and huge variety of dishes. Prices are not so high.

Will definitely visit to try their other items of the menu.

The first thing to be mentioned was about their serving. It was real quick.

A very calm & sorted place with a little touch of blue & white, making it look pleasant.

They just had an amazing background music being played which made it a good to go.

We landed here around 12:30 & the menu din't disappoint us nor did the taste.

We ordered for a:
#Garlic bread with cheese
#5 Cheese & 5 peppers pizza
#Classic Margherita
#Mediterranean

1# The garlic bread with cheese tasted like super wow, it will start off with a crispy brown layer & as you move in by each bite, there comes this cheesy bread with a touch of garlic & ginger. The chilli sprinkles does great when added.

2# 5 cheese & 5 peppers was basically a pizza, unlike the usual pizzas, this had a thin crust with mozzarella over giving it a very smooth texture, there was gruyĆØre too layered over the tomatoes & peppers. It just tasted yum with the ketch-up

3# Classic Margherita - this more or less tasted like the usual pizza but had a extra touch of cheese just like mozzarella but was more creamy & basil leaves embedded into it giving away that typical mild flavour.

4# Now, this definitely needs to be mentioned "Mediterranean". Trust me no matter how much ever full you feel, the moment you see this Mediterranean pizza, your taste buds will demand for it.

So this Mediterranean pizza was filled with Olives, Capers, Peppers making it look so effing colourful that we could hardly resist to wait, but the moment we had it, it was other way round.

Yeah!
The olives & capers had such pungent smell that it almost ruined the taste. It was not at all upto what we expected.
Even the ketchup couldn't help us. This was the first time I ever tasted feta which more or less looked like yoghurt but had an entirely different taste. Overall it was a bad choice out of all that we ordered.

Though the last Mediterranean pizza was disappointing, I still loved the other two pizzas & also the garlic bread. So it's still a thumps up if someone asks me about their pizzas & of course the playback too.

Taste: 4/5
Ambience: 3.7/5
Value for Money: 3/5

It's a vibrant joint that gives you a perfect place to hangout with friends. The food served is rich in the ingredients used and the restaurant doesn't compromise on the quality.

We'd ordered the Bruschetta, Seven Cheese Melt and the Veg French Fries Poutine. The first two items very excellent but the vegetable gravy sauce used with poutine wasn't that great and an item that one might want to skip. The farmer's market pizza also had good amount of cheese and the toppings and so was the pesto sauce pasta. The cold coffees and iced teas were also equally refreshing.

All this was well complimented by prompt, quick and alert staff members.

Spent a very pleasant Christmas Eve at Ci Gusta. The food was ok but the desserts were amazing! This place is situated right on the main road. Not difficult to find. We tried the Pizza, which was fine. Light and Simple! The lasagne was not authentic but tasted good. We had ordered the mixed sauce pasta which is my all time favourite. It was good too! Last- the tomato garlic Risotto. Not worth the money but the taste was fine. Overall food was good. Enjoyed there!! The Gelato icecreams were just mindblowing. My personal choice- Salted Carmel icecream. Other than that there are many other flavours like Chocolate brownie, Tiramisu, Paan, Plum Cake, Cheesecake, etc.. which we all tried. Yogurts are amazing too. It is very difficult to make a choice there. A must visit. :)

I have visited them couple of times. Food is good. But the best part are the Gelatos. They serve the best Gelatos in city. I have tried almost all the chocolate flavoured ones.
Must try: Cheesecake milkshake and Gelatos

The best cold coffee I tasted till date. Ci Gusta frappe is the first thing I order as soon as I enter the place even before looking at the menu. They prepare one of the best white sauce pasta in Hyderabad. They have good pizzas and the latest addition of different varieties of fries are yum

"Dainty place with Subtle tatse"

When you check this place from outside it looks likes a bakery/small ice cream parlour.Once you enter you realise how simple and attractive this small place actually is. All meat pizza and Cheese garlic toast were yum !! The Italian consomme soup was quite tangy with the tomato flavour and very less of pasta. Panacota ,a one time try dish. However the presentation of each and every item was so good and trust me the breads are delicious when hot !!

A perfect setup for a feel of a place away from the city, the noise and the rush but still located in the heart for the city of Hyderabad. The place is setup on a hill side facing a lake. Give you the feel of a Goan cafe away from the crowd facing the backwaters. A very peaceful setup, light music, built across different levels as per the rocky hill terrain. And amazing ambiance created with the dim lighting and the pathway created to the sitting area and the light music Good Food with a small menu size. Perfect for a date or a small group of friends. A must visit dinner outing when in Hyderabad. Must try food items - Greek chicken, Potato mash, pizzas. Drinks - good brew options. Try the tasters to select your taste of beer.

Nice restaurant overseeing the Durgam Cheruvu lake, having a splendid view. Restaurant stands special, alone in the hilly lakeside. Although, its bit of expensive , the ambience of the entire restaurant is worth spending, having variety of sitting spaces, music and gardens. The cliff side is having candle light setup. I will rate less only for the variates of food in the menu. Food was good, price on higher side. I tried Pizza and chicken breast with rice. Lot of parking space is available.

Cozy place. Situated with a beautiful and serene view of Durgam cheruvu lake front this place has to offer a wide range and variety of food. The ambiance is top notch and the food quality and taste is super good. Great place to visit in groups and instagrammable locations for photo freaks out there. Overall a fine dining experience. Also this place offers an open area for alcoholic consumables in a separate area distinguished from normal dining areas.

Great place for dates and cafe/casual dining experience. The serenity that this place offers with the views overlooking lush green trees and obviously the durgam cheruvu is quite pleasant. The theme of this cafe can be described as something mediterranean or Greek to be precise and looks appealing in the day. Looking forward to visit this place during night as well.

This place is like a theme park. The outside areas are huge with interesting decorations. They serve fusion/western food as well. The draft beers are decent. It was a unique experience to have tried Indian and Western food together.

This is a nice place to hangout overlooking the Durgam Cheruvu lake, although you may not get any view at night. We sat outside, and the candle light setup was awesome. During rain it is better to sit inside though. The ambience of the entire restaurant is good, multiple sitting areas, live music and attractive landscaping. Food was good, little pricy but worth it. We tried some white pasta and smoked chicken. Enough parking is available. It is a little difficult to reach the restaurant through Google maps, some short cuts are actually not available to the general public.

This is one of the very few places I would actually suggest to a tourist that's new to Hyderabad. It's been almost a year in this city, and I've never seen a better ambience anywhere yet. The food is top-notch, the view is 2x better, and the customer service is brilliant. You can take your kids, family, or your partner. The vibe is a lot better during the night. :) I was a little disappointed with the Fish and Chips, however.

We dined at this charming place on a weekday, securing our table just an hour before lunch. Perhaps due to the day of the week, we were able to secure a reservation with a view of the lake. The restaurant is located a bit off the main road, making it feel private. The path to the restaurant makes you feel like you're going to a special place, with lots of greenery around. The atmosphere inside is unique and really nice. If you sit outside, you'll enjoy a beautiful view of the lake, and the seating is really comfy. Instead of a traditional menu, they employ the increasingly popular QR code system, which many restaurants now follow. They have thoughtfully provided ingredient details for each menu item, which is good given the variety of names used by different restaurants for the same dish. As is often the case, the vegetarian choices are somewhat limited compared to the extensive non-vegetarian menu. We ordered a variety of items, and here are the ones that stood out for us: Spinach Corn and Potato Fritter: Essentially, it's a cutlet made from a mixture of corn, potato, and spinach (palak), and it was exceptionally delicious. We ordered it twice and received five pieces per plate. Flourless Chocolate Cake: A must-try dessert for chocolate enthusiasts, it's served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and delivers a heavenly experience. Avocado Toast: This dish features nicely toasted bread topped with an abundance of avocado, providing a tasty treat that's quite filling. Veg Burrito Bowl: Loaded with veggies, which is great, but they used Schezwan rice as the flavored rice, which we didn't particularly enjoy. Strawberry and Blueberry Smoothies: Please note that these smoothies aren't entirely made from fresh fruit; they contain some artificial flavors that somewhat dilute the taste. Avoid them if you're seeking a purely fresh fruit option. Tiramisu: This version doesn't quite capture the original Italian flavor, as it leans more towards a strong coffee taste with a creamier texture. Parking arrangements are ample, with both ample self-parking and valet service available. In summary, this is an unconventional themed restaurant offering a decent selection of vegetarian dishes. Expect to spend around 1500 per person for starters, main courses, and dessert.
