An Afternoon Of Gastronomical Delight - Ambrosia Bliss - Restaurant Review

I had visited this restaurant a few weeks back but the post never got published because my grandpa fell sick and he is no longer with us. He was a fearless man who lived life his style without a hint of worry of what others thought. He always had stories of his times in the British Raj and he believed that our government and civic system is strong and helpful. He loved his evening tea and his stroll in the market nearby where he would chat up everyone he met.

Saluting his spirit I am back to what I love doing. I know he must be narrating his stories wherever he is blessing us in every way.

Nestled in L-Block Connaught Place, New Delhi is a sprawling restaurant called Ambrosia Bliss. It boasts of two garden terraces, a dining area, a bar and even a conference area. There is a reception with a nice lighting done in the backdrop.

The seating is comfortable and when I visited one of the garden terraces had a private party going on. The area was large enough to seat atleast 20 adults. I chose an area close to the huge glass windows where I could enjoy my meal under the sun but without the extremely cold breeze blowing outside.

The post now follows with a large set of pictures of the food I tried out. I started off with two mocktails and a chocolate shake. If you enjoy ginger based drinks then do try out  the Winter Splinter mocktail (seen on the extreme right) with cloves, ginger and mint to intoxicate you.

If you like more fruity drink (like me!) you should not miss their Twist@Bliss containing strawberry, raspberry, lime juice and orange chunk. The chocolate shake however was just ok, nothing as great as the other two drinks.

Soups

For soups I tried out the charred tomato basil soup which was quite appetising. I really liked the charred flavour. Another soup that was quite good was the Chilli & Shitake broth with a generous serving of prawns in it.

Salads
For salads you cannot go wrong with the traditional caesar salad, fresh lettuce, olives, baby tomatoes, croutons and a generous shaving of cheese and herbs made it perfect for the palate.

Appetizer Platters

Ambrosia Bliss serves four different kinds of platters. There is a Mezze platter with yummy hummus, Baba ghanoush, lebneh, and pickled veggies along with pita and falafel.

Another vegetarian option is the Internation Vegetarian Platter - Tex Mex Nachos, garlic bread, Philadelphia cheese rolls and mushroom nuggets. The best in this platter were the cheese rolls. The garlic bread was good too but I would prefer a pinch more of seasoning. The serving size is quite nice  and if 3 people share this platter then its more than enough as an appetiser.

There are non-vegetarian options available which I did not taste. But I did try a bit of the Indian platter which contains huge cubes of cottage cheese which has layers of seasoning inside, dahi kebabs which will melt in your mouth, haha bhara kebabs and mushroom galouti (its a tikka made of mushroom paste that sits atop a light and fluffy patty.

Main Dishes
Out of all the dishes available for the main course I tried out the chef's recommended vegetarian garden fresh pizza. A thin crust pizza with the freshest veggies, basil and a light sauce. If you like your pizza spicy then check out the other options or ask for more spice.

For Chinese I tried the chilly garlic paneer which was yummy. They also served amazingly fresh and light lemon based fish.

I enjoyed there crispy corn and the best dish of the day for me were there the vegetarian dim sums. Amazingly light, steaming hot, made of fresh vegetables, mushrooms and water chestnut. I wish I had tried these earlier in the afternoon so that I could eat more of them, just managed to eat one as I was already full.

A meal for me is incomplete without a sweet ending, I tried the carrot walnut cake which was served on a platter decorated with chocolate and a very yummy caramel sauce.

I would highly recommend this place for a fun time with friends or family. You can also make reservations before hand if you have a larger group to entertain. A great place for a winter Sunday brunch. I want to go back there soon to try out some other dishes that I really had no space for this time.

Do let me know if you have any other recommendations of restaurants in Delhi to try out. I love taking pictures of food and gobbling up sweets :)
