Jyran - Sofitel, Bandra Kurla Complex
A Family Get-together led us to reserving a table at this fine dining restaurant on a Saturday night. The place screams of the beautiful ambiance. We had booked a table for 9. We were shown to our table. Settled down we were handed over the well-curated menu. We ordered a variety of Veg and Non-Veg dishes.
Afghani Tangdi Kebab & Shahi Galawat Kabab was our first stop on the menu. The chicken pieces were succulent and cooked to medium rare perfection and the lamb galawat kabab just melted away in our mouth. It was so good that it actually tempted a family member who only prefers chicken in non-veg to taste it and once tasted couldn't stop from having it again.
Secondly, we ordered for Dahi Kebab and Chukundar Ki Tikki (Beetroot). Just loved the Dahi Kebab very much.
We ordered for some more non-veg starters, Murgh Ke Parche & Jhinga Tandoori - Found the chicken good in taste with the right amount of spices. The prawns were tiger prawns and we loved digging into it.
For the main course, we ordered for some Gandana Ka Saag, Kofta Subz Bahar, Dal Makhni, Bhuna Gosht, Kolkatta Chk Biryani and some Rotis and Naans.
Though we couldn't taste much of the veg dishes from expressions of the members having veg it was clear they loved it. Though we tasted the Dal Makhni and it really stood to its name. It was creamy and well cooked. We stuck to having the Naans and Bhuna Gosht which again was cooked in a well-balanced mix of spices and herbs and the pieces were juicy. The chicken Kolkata biryani, however, was very bland for my taste and also certain members of the family.
Desserts we ordered some Kesar Kulfis which we shared amongst us. It was Yummm.
Highly recommend:- Shahi Galawat Kabab, Afghani Kebab, Jhinga Tandoori, Dal Makhni, Bhuna Gosht & of-course the Kesar Kulfi.
The best part was the surprise planned for one of our member. He didn't know that we had planned to surprise him with a delicious cake. I would personally like to thank Mr. Rohit who was attending our table to have carried out the serving part effortlessly and ensuring he recommended the right dishes as and when required. Also, I want to Thank him for the sweet gesture, the cake that was provided for the surprise when he found out that we were celebrating a Bday...
All is well that ends well and this evening couldn't have been better. A really truly memorable evening well spent with family members. Its definitely a must visit if you are looking for a good fine dine experience.
My report card for Jyran:-
Ambience - 5.0 Food - 5.0 Service - 5.0 Location - 4.5
P.S.: I do have a small request to the Hotel Management here. Kindly have a little lighter weight cutlery as most of the family members not enjoying holding the cutlery as they found it a bit too heavy and that didn't allow them to enjoy their food much.
