Gaylord (Churchgate)

Continental dreams

There is a distinct feeling of class that strikes you as soon as you enter Gaylord. From the tapestries on the walls (some of them replicas of medieval objets d’art) to the enormous chandelier right at the centre, each element contributes to your transportation to medieval Europe where delectable food and fine wines are the only other things you need for life to be perfect. That is where Gaylord brings out the best in itself, with some excellent Continental offerings that suit the Indian palate admirably. The chicken lollypop is a good starter, with a good crispy exterior and perfectly cooked chicken on the inside – extremely tasty but – as in the Continent – not the least bit spicy. Another marvelous dish here is the Spaghetti Bolognaise, where the minced chicken in black gravy constitutes the perfect complement to some fresh and soft pasta. While the chicken Caesar salad is a little bland by itself, it serves as a delightful accompaniment to everything else on the table. Gaylord may not have the brightest of stewards when it comes to understanding one’s orders, but the affable and knowledgeable chief steward more than makes up for the lack of depth in his team. And while it made be on the steeper side even among restaurants in upmarket Churchgate, one meal here and you know it is completely worth it.
