Kailash Parbat can be easily considered as one of the front runner restaurant's in the all veg dining category. They literally serve a sumptuous feast which will guarantee wholesome satisfaction to the palette. The variegated feast dished out here well and truly depicts vegetarian food in an all encompassing avatar. You'll never feel hard done being a vegetarian when dining here because the variety on offer is so widespread and will ensure that both the salty side as well as the sweetened surface get well and truly satisfied. The food is pre dominantly North Indian and bordering mainly into the Chaat mix of things and apart from these they also serve a pastiche of continental and Italian cuisine. This is the second stand alone Kailash Parbat after the immensely successful and hugely crowd pleasing eternal favorite of the North Indian families located at Chetpet in Harrington road.
The Koturpuram branch is slightly smaller in size but instantly appealing. Just on entering the arena, you find the area converged with lot of cute little thingies which are eye catching and brightens up the whole atmosphere. Signboards depicting interesting messages, miniatures hanging on walls, quirky wall arts, colourful portraits, cool lighting etc define the place. It instantly ignites the feel good factor and a very positive vibe is created. The other highlights happen to be the decor which is really well played and no words of praise is enough on the plating and presentation which deserves showering of the highest magnitude.
We began our sojourn with the evergreen favourite viz chaat platter containing bhel puri, dahi vada, papdi chaat and corn canopes. Presented in an odd shaped 4 way placement just a glimpse of it will get the tongue craving and rightfully so. The Dahi vada seemed the odd man out in terms of the looks as all others had a lot of yellow on them with podi, papdi, bhel etc. All of them were equally ravishing in taste and didn't take much long to polish spoon for spoon of each of the items. Next up was the Cheese Pav Bhaji and my god this was like the road leading the path to heaven. The pav's were bulky in size but super soft and the bhaji with a gregarious slathering of cheese floating over was breathtaking in taste. There are pav bhaji's and then there is Kailash Parbat's version of Pav Bhaji's which are simply a class apart and it was proved with authority yet again.
We tried being a little tongue in cheek and went off the radar by selecting the garlic bread fondue. This was a little let down with the bread being crusty as opposed to being cushiony which didn't go well with thr syrupy fondue. The fondue too was done with excess of flour over powering the cheese and this somehow didn't cut the cloth in the right proportion for any of us. The potato skins however saved the blushes by being a great snack going jocularly well with the lovely dip it came along. The Mushroom on toast was another winner on the day with the breads being spread along generously with smallish pieces of mushrooms with an intermingling of cheese and it was jaw dropping good in taste. And we also had a chaat in mexican style with the pani puri tacos with chipotle water. This was quite an experiment and personally I felt they did wonders on this count giving the perfect mexican ingredient feel with beans, tacos, chipotle and sauces to boot. The traditional pani puri lover may find it a little off but this one for a change though radical worked to my advantage.
Having tried Mexican, we had to take the Italian route too and hence selected the four season pizza. This was a pizza with the slices being topped individually with different toppings viz corn, olives, jalapeno and capsicum. The one constant factor however was the cheese element which was oozing and melting in between the ingredients. The cheese did feel a little too strong but if you are a lover of it, you'll have no complaints whatsoever. Continuing on the unchartered territory, we also had a shot at a Panneer shaslik sizzler. This didn't appease much with the rice lacking flavour and also the general punch of having a red hot steamed sizzler was missing.
In the drinks and mock tail sections, we had quite a number of them but what ruled the roost was the immensely refreshing masala chaas. It was contagious and just perfect for the heat. We without regret had extra servings of the same. The other drinks too be it the jaljeera, ice tea, chilli guava, pine nut cola all were well delivered and seemed apt to have along with delicious food in parallel.
And on the dessert draw, we went first up with the sizzling brownie which just fizzled, sizzled and mizzled in unison with the molten chocolate layer, vanilla ice cream and chunky brownie all working in perfect confluence giving us joy in bundles on the taste front. With the expectation already laid out, we went to an all together different course with the fruit pizza. This was another stunner with water melon slices made to resemble the base of the pizzas and on top of it were steps of fruits, custard, sweet sauce which made it all fruity, juicy and sweety. It was like a swirl of colour enveloping over one another.
The service was amiable and extremely hospitable. They acceded to all our requests and were more than helpful in giving us suggestions. Also we never really had a long waiting time in between the dishes served. The pricing may seemingly feel on the higher side but for the quality on offer, you wouldn't be cribbing too much especially after the richness galore that you would end up consuming. Overall, it was a very engaging fare with Kailash Parbat amply proving once again that they are the boss in their own den.
P.S : Sharing a brief review about their outlet in Chetpet below:
I have experienced samples of Kailash Parbat in different malls before but this really was the real deal!.
It was my first visit to a standalone Kailash Parbat outlet and the excitement was palpable. It is located in a 2 storied complex that also houses French Loaf and Le Chocolatier. Seems quite a foodie area with Subway and Ox&Tomato located exactly opposite. The place looks really small from the outset but on arriving you find it's a lot more spacious. The ambience is colorful , vibrant and bright with nice easy comfortable seatings
The menu had a concoction to choose from an array of items comprising of Bread , Pizzas , Chats , Starters , Oriental , European , Sizzlers , Sindhi and Desserts. We ordered a plethora of items ranging from Pani puri , Aloo Tikki , Pav Bhaji , Chole Batoora , Spinach and Cottage Cheese Pizza , Veg Augratin , Veg Grilled sizzler , Masala Chaas and Kesar Falooda.
The decoration of the Pani puri was nice being brought in a thin rectangular plate and the puri's were ballooned with an interesting mix and the 2 types of Pani to go with it set the tone. The Aloo tikki were cooked to perfection and was perfect foil to have along with the Ragada Pattice and pinkish onions. The Pav Bhaji was decent with the Bhaji being yum but appeared a bit smudged , generally prefer it to be a skosh soaky. Had the Chole Batoora platter with 4 different types of Batoora which was thumbs up however the quantity of the chole was quite exiguous to satisfy 4 giant pooris which required an extra chole order. The Spinach and Cottage Cheese Pizza Bonanza was simply fantabulous loaded with oodles of cheese and spinach lingering along on top of diamond shaped cottage cheese , the veg augratin was liquidy cooked on white sauce comprising a mix of veggies with cheese floating all over. The veg grilled sizzler was pretty normal encircled with fries and rice in between an amalgam of veggies such as Bell Pepper , Baby corn , Mushroom , Zuccini , Cauliflower , beans , brocolli etc. The finale was Masala Chaas which was so-so but the Kulfi Falooda was truly a delight squashing the noodly falooda over a dollop of Pista ice cream and torpedo of Kesar kulfi.
The food overall totally lived upto the expectations and it was a wonderful lunchathon. The good thing is there are still so many items left to try and from whatever was consumed is anything to go by a return visit does not seem way too off the cards.
The service was excellent with the food being served quickly and with aplomb. The price is very upmarket and if you are in the mood to get down and dirty be prepared to splurge the currency. But rest assured , you get your money's worth as what you get in return truly salivates the taste buds. Simply put another very good restaurant in the city for the veg lovers.
