A Gastronomically Greek Affair!
Azulia; the premier Mediterranean-cuisine restaurant at GRT Grand on G. N. Chetty Road; recently hosted a Greek food festival till the 10th of November 2011.At the entrance, what could be a more befitting way to be greeted other than in Greek robes & vine-crowns; and have this moment captured on camera! This fine-dining haunt also specializes in Turkish, Lebanese, Italian and French cuisine! With a menu card the size of a Coffee-table book, Azulia’s food fare boasts of a host of exotic drinks, dishes & desserts!
As part of their special Greek food festival a Chef’s special 4-course meal; comprising soup/salad, 3 vegetarian cold starters, 3 non-vegetarian starters, main-course and dessert; offered at a tariff of Rs.1100 per head. This menu is carefully chosen to offer the best of Greek cuisine for both a discerning meat-lover and vegan.
Though the tariff for the meal may sound slightly more on the expensive side, the fare is absolutely worth its money! The salad was crunchy, fresh & juicy and the main-course satisfying. But the Greek god of cuisine of the night was undoubtedly the dessert – The Turkish Baklava in three differentl flavors! Sinfully fluffy and oozing with honey; one of the baklavas resembled a long-lost cousin of our very own soan paapdi! Many diners might, however, take time to adjust to the restaurant’s background score as it is literally Greek and Latin! Nevertheless, this lavish restaurant, with its artistically royal interiors, great ambiance, unique cutlery, live-kitchen and friendly hosts makes your meal a holistic and complete dining experience!
