Glass House - Hilton Garden Inn , Mayfield Garden, Gurgaon

At times, it takes much more than just good food, to make your evening a memorable one. Something we experienced recently at Glass House, Hilton Garden Inn. The weather was decent. And by the pool, the view of Gurgaon cityscape was excellent. With this as the setting, we started with our drinks. Irish Coffee & Daiquiri. The Irish Coffee was a preparation that will stay with me and my taste buds for quite some time. Jameson with a generous amount of coffee and cream, makes for a cocktail with a lingering taste. Every sip, every note of the cocktail was a delight. And the thanks goes to Subhashish. Interestingly, he made me go for my professional cocktail making. Quite enjoyed the process. Talking about the food, we decided to keep it light for the summer evening. Being an ardent fan, I opted for the prawns to start with. Lahshuni Jheenga it was! And followed it with Seekh Kebab & Dahi ke Kebab. The prawns were the star of the evening, without an iota of doubt. Generous in size, perfectly scaled and very well cooked. The most noteworthy part of the preparation was its subtle flavours. And the signature flavour of garlic wasn’t overpowering but highlighted the flavour of the prawns. Loved every bite of it. If you too like prawns, don’t miss out on this one. You can thank Chef Awashesh, for this delicious preparation. Moving ahead, the Seekh Kebab was another nice offering. Crispy outer layer with a juicy inner filling made it just the right kebab. Add to it the flavours of the spices used to marinate it. Not too spicy, neither overpowering. It was a delectable preparation with the flavour of the mutton intact. Reason why, I liked it quite a lot. Here, another aspect that’s worth mentioning is the impeccable service and hospitality. With Swati Nagar ensuring that every element of the evening, was just perfect, it was an evening, I will remember for quite some time. Go for it.
