Tosai Club - A dosaic avatar!

Tosai Club is a franchise based model serving the evergreen all time favourite 'Dosa' in a renewed twisted avatar. Dosa in a potpourri of toppings has recently caught on big time and this model looks to capitalise the same by dishing out delightful Dosa's of varied kinds.

However this particular outlet located at Thoraipakkam also happens to be a full fledged restaurant serving a plethora of veg dishes spanning across Indian, continental and Chinese. The lunch time menu is sans Dosa and they have a really lavish spread.

The ambiance is lovely with it's garden theme as well as the ship based portrait as if we are over seeing the harbour. It's very well done up and it vividly shows that they've taken lots of efforts on the interiors.

We were here on a hot weekend afternoon to savour some of their specialty offerings. We began with a creamy greenish soup to set things ablaze. Then came a variety of starters one by one of which the Tandoori Gobi with a dash of cream was worth mentioning. The paneer tikka as well as the pineapple tikka was charred well and went well on to our mouth. The Aloo Ka Tikka was another winner of a starter. The panneer sheekh kabab however I felt lacked a bit of bite and the Nachos could have been better with a better measured topping. Overall however the appetisers were done up very well.

In the main course section, I loved the delightfully creamy pesto pasta topped in abundance with cheese strings and coming with couple of slices of garlic herbed bread. The paneer tikka biryani was also good with chunks of panneer interlaced inside a colourful rice mixture. The Indian bread with side dishes also proved fulfilling with both the cashew gravy as well as the panneer butter masala teaming out to be a good bet.

We ended with a bunch of desserts transcending into both Indian and Western and they were quite nice as well. On the whole the experience turned out to be a winner.

The service can get a tad quicker. The pricing is worth the quality of food. This is more of an experimental phase for the restaurant trying out a menu for lunch which does not include their treasured forte which is Dosai. I would say they have done a good job with the other items in the fray as well. The ambiance gives a cool vibe and it's a place you could certainly experiment with for lunch as the options available are wide and plenty.
