So much multi cuisine

The Wilson Garden area doesn���t exactly teem with eating out options.
There was the all-veg Gowrishankar at the Mayflower hotel here, which used to serve some excellent south Indian fare, especially thali meals. Now, the hotel has converted that into a multi-cuisine eatery.
Mirch Darbar is the sort of restaurant invariably attached to mid-budget hotels, with a dreariness they seem unable to shake off.Which is why I chose to have a drink and eat at the hotel���s new roof-top lounge bar, Frost. It comes in two parts. There���s an outdoorsy area, breezy and casual, with a view of the night sky. The indoor area is an all-white, over-styled bar, trying rather too hard to be chic and unable to fit into its surroundings.
But I sat outside and had a perfectly pleasant time. I asked for a beer and was recommended a mojito instead; and it was very well done. So was the pomegranate martini I tried. As for the food, it���s a multi-cuisine menu. It���s been a while since I tackled one of those, so I plunged right in, ordering from here and there. For starters, there was Thread Chicken, nice moist chicken bits wrapped in crispy noodles. Also, Peking Prawns, made very well. The chicken tikka from the tandoor menu (here the multi-cuisine is Indian-Chinese-Tandoori) was also done just right. The seekh kebab was the only let-down, rather dry and lacking in flavour.
The chef being something of a specialist in Oriental fare, also suggested I try the Pad Thai and very good it was, with lots of crunchy bits and balance of flavours.
As for main course, the Murgh Rara was the pick of the selection, with a pronounced robustness. The Veg Hariyali was also well done. The Paneer Kurcha was unexceptional. And the rotis could certainly have been better. If you are ordering Chinese here, I���d say the starters are a better bet than any of the main course options. The fried rice and the mushroom dish I had both lacked zing.
For dessert, there was fried ice-cream, a big cannonball of the stuff, nice and crisp outside. Only the garnish of tomato slices was hard to explain.
A meal for two here would cost about Rs 600 (without drinks). Service is of average standard.
