We visited Lokah along with friends one evening for dinner.
The restaurant boasts of world cuisine with the tagline ‘The world on your plate’. I have to admit I
was a little skeptical on whether it would live up to its promise, but I’m pleased
to admit I was wrong.
The ambiance is casual- minimalistic and simple, so perfect
for hanging out with your friends.
We started out meal with an unusual soup – chicken and beetroot
soup, unfortunately I dint make a note of the exact name of the dishes :(
. Our friends suggested it –I was not so sure especially when I saw a deep ‘magenta’
soup with some cream on top.

I changed my mind as soon as I put the first spoonful
in my mouth – velvety is the exact world I would use. It came with bread
sticks, which babies A and M munched on. Both the fussy babies enjoyed the soup,
which is always a plus for the parents.
For mains, I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was a
crumbed fried chicken steak with a wee bit of cheese, served with French fries
and veggie salad. It was not bad but not exactly the best I’ve had.

S had the Meatloaf served with mashed potatoes and boiled
veggies. Now, the meatloaf was simply delicious and I loved the light and tender
texture of the meat with the sauce. The mashed potatoes were a little bit lumpy
and dry though.

Our friends ordered the Creole fish with the lemon butter sauce
– which was good but nothing to rave about. Somehow the fish tasted better
without the sauce .

We also had a Pasta Alfredo, which was creamy and light.
For dessert, we tried the coconut soufflé and the mocha custard
pudding.
The coconut soufflé was too gelatinous in texture and we were not big fans of it.

The mocha custard on the other hand, was fabulous, perfectly
creamy and we wiped the plate clean.
The portions are just right and satisfying. I would love to go back and try out the different things on the menu.

The best part of this meal was the bill – excellent value
for money especially compared to Bangalore
rates. Worth a visit!
