Though the reviews regarding the food are quite mixed I quite enjoyed most of the dishes especially the lobster.Pretty unique to have so many seafood options for Indian cuisine in HK. The lobster tikka was well executed and portion was decent. The lamb shank and kulcha were also not bad. Masala chai was very good but the mango lassi is very thick so I would probably order it as a dessert.What's more famous about Chaat however is its ridiculously long waiting list of up to 3 months. I managed to
Pretty unique to have so many seafood options for Indian cuisine in HK. The lobster tikka was well executed and portion was decent. The lamb shank and kulcha were also not bad. Masala chai was very good but the mango lassi is very thick so I would probably order it as a dessert.
What's more famous about Chaat however is its ridiculously long waiting list of up to 3 months. I managed to make a booking for 2 and emailed a few weeks ago asking if I could add 2 adults and 1 child on high chair to my table. They replied that it was not possible since they were fully booked but they would let me know if they have any cancellations.
We went on a Saturday night and throughout our dinner from 6-8pm there were at least 3 empty tables next to us (and probably more around the corner). There were also at least 2 tables that could have seated 4 people but only 2 people were there (so at least they could have given us that table). They do take your credit card details down to hold the reservation so I highly doubt so many people decided to no-show last minute.
Not sure if this is a policy to generate hype. I've emailed them about it afterwards and they replied asking for my contact details and a time to call. I replied but no one called until 4 days after the time I suggested, blaming that the "email got lost".
They explained that the empty tables were a combo of people who were late and no-shows, though they could not explain why we weren't offered the table that seats 4 which only had two guests there. The guy also said he only started working there for a few days?! Gotta appreciate the honesty. Not sure how this is the best guy for the job of dealing with complaining guests but you do you rosewood.
