Raintree Annasalai

I have tried raintree in Alwarpet but never this one, so I gave it a try yesterday. We tried Their multi cuisine restaurant..Kitchen.

It is quite spacious, but seating and all is quite ordinary, secondly I dont like the glass walls on the inner side..it gives you the feeling that you are eating on the road.

On Sundays they have five live counters for pizza ,pasta dosa etc.

There were two mocktails..and fruit mix was quite good.

In the starters they had fried vegetables chineses style, tawa fry, kabab, papdi chaat etc...I liked only kabab.,,

vegetable soup was quite spicy.

In the main course there was quite a lot of variety in vegetables, salad, breads and they had dahi vada also...I liked ma ki daal,daal tadka, pulao with sulatana and zuchhini...First time i saw somewhere kesar paneer, but it was just ok. Naan were good.

In the dessert section, they had good Indian sweets..I loved them and then some baked delights, icecreams and fruits.

Top it all with coffee or tea..

All this for approximately 2000/ person..I find the rates too much....not value for money.
