About four of my friends and I decided to go for dinner to Zaffran - CST - Mumbai, because we were craving for some great Mughlai and Tandoori cuisine.
When we stepped there, we all were quite smitten with the ambiance, interiors, and seating arrangement. The waiters were well dressed, too and everything looked brilliantly classy. There was a bright chandelier hanging at the top of the ceiling and it looked quite royal. The sofas were very comfortable as well. So this was about the appearance.
Let's talk about the food. Well we opened the menu card and the dishes listed seemed more than mouth-watering considering we were all very hungry. The waiter also helped us understand the contents of the various dishes. However, we didn't fail to notice that the place was a little too overpriced. But we still stayed back and placed our order.
Service now - it was taking almost forever for our order to arrive, and we were starving endlessly. Finally after waiting for a good 45 minutes or so, just one of the starter arrived and the rest of the order again took around the same time. We were stuck in the restaurant for at least four hours. We had late night movie plans as well, and somehow I was getting a feeling that it will get cancelled.
Finally, when the bill arrived, I must say that we fortunately skipped a heart stroke. They charged us a bomb. The service tax was literally more than one quarter of the Bill amount. Obviously, we ran short of cash and had to cancel our movie plan.
Zaffran was one of the most expensive restaurant that I have been to, in my entire life and it was totally worthless.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
