A trifle overrated
'The Taste of the Circle' (King's Circle, the area it is located in, that is) is what Garnish would like you to believe it is. A modest claim, doubtless, but with the presence of just Cafe Madras in its vicinity, nowhere close to the truth. En verite, the teeming numbers here raise the expectations, which are immediately lowered once you try to make yourself comfortable on the perilously-low-roofed mezzanine floor where even the air conditioning does not suffice if all the tables are fully occupied. The tandoori rotis are crispy and expertly baked to ensure that not one bit is burnt, but you do not enjoy them too much with the chef-recommended mixed vegetable dish Vegetable Diwani Handi, which is 80% beans and 20% everything else. A better option, ironically, is the bland but light and marginally tasty Methi Malai Mutter, which essentially contains peas cooked in a milk-based gravy seasoned with fenugreek. One thing that goes in Garnish's favour is the highly affordable pricing, which (in addition to its proximity to Arora Cinema) makes this place a favourite especially among college-goers. However, be it in ambience or the quality of its fare, Garnish still has a long way to go before it can attract the best even in the Circle.
