Friday Lunch was sponsored by one of my colleagues at our Begumpet Office & they wanted me there for sure. The team luncheon's are always exciting and make the moments a lot memorable. This moment would be treasured for sure, not for the good of it, but for the worse of it for sure.
With the Ultimate Food Guide away from Begumpet Office & placed at Gachibowli Office, there was a sudden decline in the quality of eating joints being decided offlate
One of the greatest decisions, they've taken without my consent was going to Moksh. The less said the better in the prologue, I would directly dive in to the
Moksh'd Experience.
My friend called up Moksh to book table for 12 of us, as we were in no mood to take chances. The Moksh guys were kind of Sir, its booked for 1:00, please make sure that you reach here by the time as we are reserving the table for you. We can only hold this table till 1:15. My buddies were like, Oh! This place should be overcrowded and we should make it before time to hold on to our tables. We land at Moksh at 1:00 on dot.
Lo! Behold!, not even a single person in sight except for the Maitre'd & the Waiters. It took us flat 1.34 seconds to count the Veg & Non-Veg guys for the buffet.
So, here starts our
Harrowing Moksh'd Experience.
Soups served on the Table. The Non-Veg soup turns out to be Hot & Sour Soup and the Veggies get Veg. Clear Soup. The Non-Veg soup was nothing short of being called Boiled Water with Loads of Pepper thrown in to it. Veg Clear Soup was so clear, that it did not have salt in it. I believe they were following the ideologies of famous chef's: "
Add Salt to Taste". The max my friend could get at having the soup was 2.5 spoon fulls of it. Others could not even dare to reach the 2 mark.
The Starters were served or rather thrown in a platter and placed on the table to be served by oneself. Schezwan Chicken wasn't that bad at all, the only disgust was, it had less of chicken in it and more of bones. So I would love calling it Deep Fried Schezwan Chicken Bones. I would not love disgracing Moksh guys a lot by writing something about the About Stale Veg Cutlet or Not so worth the taste Veg Manchurian.
The spread looked vast spread but tasted the worst. This was the first time, i've been to Moksh for Buffet, à-la-carte has always been worth while.
The non-veg main course had Chicken Biryani, Mutton Some Curry, and etc. The rice used looked inferior and there were no good pieces in it. The Biryani wasn't the Hyderabadi Biryani but was more of like the Biryani you get at Ameerpet or Kukkatpally. The sort, where the pieces are small and generally stick together onto the piece and etc. It was that sorts. The Mutton Gravy did not have enough pieces to serve 2 people too.
I strolled away from these counters and wanted to have some good veg food, as its been long since i've had veg food off late. Tried out Veg Noodles as Veg Fried Rice, Veg Biryani, Curd Rice and etc did not not entice me.
The only saving grace I felt was Veg in Almond Sauce, wish it was served a bit warm atleast. So, I helped my self with a helping of Veg Noodles with Veg in Almond Sauce. The Moksh'd experience was getting onto my nerves and I coould not handle it any longer. I disposed off the left over's in my plate and moved over to have some desserts.
Kaddu Ki Kheer was rechristened as Kaddu Halwa. The same liquified form of Kaddu Ki Kheer but with a new name. I moved on to other deserts as have had the best of the best Kaddu Ki Kheers a zillion times and did not really wish to spoil that taste, which still lingers around.
Coconut Barfi wasn't fresh either. I would rather love having the Coconut Barfi on the Coconut Bandi's that stand near the schools selling those Orange Colored Barfi's rather than having it here at Moksh. It wasn't bad at all, it was
PATHETIC.
Fresh Cut Fruits had loads of Pineapples, Pappaya's, Watermelons and Grapes. The other exotic fruits like Kiwi, Chikoo and etc were missing. Took a couple of fruits and loaded my plate with Fruit Salad, which looked good and tasted great too. Done with the first serving, I go back for a quick refil of the fruits and fruit salad & KAPUT!!! The whole bowl is empty and no one around.
I run around and get the Maitre'd to set things straight and ask his army of Mokshers to replace the empty bowl with a nice filled till the brim one. It took him 10 mins to get a new bowl and this time, the taste graph went from WOW!!! to YUCK!!!. No Consistency at all.
I always thought, 70MM was the winner in
Being the Most Inconsistent Restuarant in terms of Taste. However, Moksh stole away the away and is basking in glory of
Being the Most Inconsistent Restuarant in terms of Taste.
I was dying to get out of the place, thanking people there for giving me hell of a time and a harrowing dining experience.
Never am I ever stepping back in Moskh for years to come.
The dent for not so good food, no idea, the bill was footed by my friend
