WHAT I ORDERED AT RAW THE RESTROBAR, BHOPAL –
I chose my chair styled seating near the glass through which I can see the activities outside and tapped my feet the vibrant music playing in the background. Also, I took many time-lapse pictures from this location of the busy streets of India with many vehicles moving around the crossroads.
We were welcomed by one of the staff members and by Chef AJ who took our order very patiently explaining all the details of the menu.
- For STARTERS – I ordered Innovative style of Mexican Tacos filled with Indian Chick-peas – This is a very big starter with the Indian style of chapati/roti filled with Tacos style of filling. Instead of kidney-beans, this one has been innovated by filling chick-peas(chana in Indian language) with Mexican condiments and toppings. Though they are served in 2 pieces they are very big and are great fillers.
- Veg Burmese Khow Suey – It is a Burmese dish made up of gram flour, coconut milk and many condiments which is served with hot rice.
- Penne Arabiatta – A perfect red tomato sauce and spicy Pasta with authentic Italian herbs. It is served with Garlic bread. Portion size is also great.
For DRINKS, I ordered Mint Lemonade without soda and Fruit punch with Vanilla Ice-cream. You can customize your drinks too and the bartender is there to always help you in making your favorite drinks. Also, there is a wide variety of drinks and Mojitos in their Bar Menu.
You will get a lemon dipped hot water to wash your hands after finishing your meals and also you can have Indian Mouth freshener which has good digestive properties.
