They also have cylindrical lanterns hanging from the ceiling, a grand display of their vast wine collection, traditional lamps with candles on the floor and hints of tropical vibe with wallpapers and cushions depicting tiger stripes and palm leaves.
Our third visit to this plush and upscale restaurant by Mr. Zorawar Kalra and needless to say that TYGR - The Modern Thai Bar & Grill never fails to surprise us and exceed ones expectations! Having heard about their new menu, we just couldn’t wait to witness the magic once again!
A special mention of Mr. Nalin, our server who was polite, friendly, kind and very helpful. He had a good knowledge of the dishes/drinks on the menu and made it a point to give us fresh plates after every 2-3 dishes. He ensured that our meal was going good. Mr. Shonit also took good care of our table and was polite and courteous . Lastly, Chef Firoz came up to our table to ask for feedback and spoke about the dishes and its ingredients.
We started off our foodgasmic journey will a couple of drinks and then moved on to the food. Here’s the gist:
1) Seven Times Good (Seven Times Bad) – A concoction of wheat beer and golden rum with a blend of banana, mango, lime and ginger. This cocktail is uber refreshing and has a wonderful malt taste from the wheat beer.
