Sizzlers as a food item isn't really popular and seldom is this dish even served in most restaurant's. Kobe Sizzlers is one place showing it's expertise on this front by having a plethora of different varieties of sizzler's. The restaurant does serve a skosh of Italian and Continental but is predominantly known for their hot and smoky variants of sizzler's.
There are 3 outlets of Kobe Sizzlers in the city and we were here for a tasting session at the outlet located in Phoenix Market city, Velachery. The ambiance seems a little dark and gloomy and akin to a pub sort of feel. The red lanterns kept across each table adds a little bright touch to the proceedings. The interiors are simple and the place is well spaced out.
We had a crack at the following items:
Mocktails: We started our foray with the Strawberry Margerita which was a really refreshing drink. The sprinkling of salt around the top layer of the glass gave it a nice effect. The lemon mint cooler was how it should be and had a nice twang going for it. The Pacific blue made of Blue Curacao with crushed ice was another winner setting tone for things to follow.
Starters: For starters we had the chilli panneer made in a chinese manchurian style having plenty of spices and tasted decent. We followed that up with the cottage cheese balls which scored heavily on the night. The balls were big in size, juicy and layered over with an interesting mix of herbs and on the inside had a slight sweet tinge and certainly turned out to be one of the best dishes on the night. We rounded our starter course with the Tacos Ensalada. This one had cheese oozing out of it along with a bunch of peppers, olives and capsicum. It looked more like a mini pizza with toppings and the crunchiness which you expect on a Taco was missing here.
Main Course: This side of the draw was a mixed bag. The most expectant of them all - the gargantuan "Veg Exotic Sizzler" lived upto expectation and turned out being quite an extravaganza. It was loaded with plenty of veggies with the rightful amount of smoke billowing across and turned out to be a sumptuous fest. The replacement of the usual potato veggies with baby potatoes was well played. The other items which we had a shot at included the white sauce based veg penne pasta. It was a little too simple and felt more like that of a home made version. The cheese on top didn't seem to blend well and it also lacked somewhat on the creamy side. The Veg curry burger again didn't really please the taste buds. There was no extra curry as claimed and it was just the paste inside the cutlet which was reddish and resembled a curry of sorts. Again felt it to be a little too plain for the liking.
Desserts: On this side, we had a Rose Falooda which had a lot of ingredients but didn't feel thick enough. It was pretty good but a stretch away from being amazing. The cream caramel was pretty good. It wasn't too soggy and felt more mellow and soft to eat.
The service was fairly quick with the stuff coming to our table in quick time. They were also helpful in going about with our order in suggesting items to try. As were on an invite pricing goes out of the window but in a one liner can be said to be in line with similar multi cuisine restaurant's.
On adumbrating the experience, Kobe Sizzlers can certainly be classified as a good bet. Just considering the sizzler standalone, it was really impressive. A little upscaling into the other areas can help establish their presence a notch higher. Highly recommended for smoking hot sizzling sizzlers.
