The lights kept going off, the lumpy cushions left us sore, and over-attentive waiters soured the experience. at Horn Ok Please, we experienced village life at its worst
If Horn Ok Please, Juhu's latest rustic Indian eatery, is trying to recreate a quaint village atmosphere in the middle of an elite suburb, it needs a new plan.u00a0 The tamboos reminded us of a shaadi ka mandap, the seating was confused our table tilted precariously and the lumpy cushions left our backsides soar and beside a bright red truck stood out-of-place silver space-age furniture.
The service was slow. Our waiter took 20 minutes to arrive and take the order, only to return with the food, and an army of colleagues who stared at us while we sampled the fare.
We started off with Paneer Tikka (120) and Murgh Malai Kebab (130). The paneer had been roasted in a deliciously tangy masala, and the kebabs were cooked to perfection. The Kukkad Shikarpuri (chicken and boiled egg in a hot sauceu00a0 for Rs 160), Bhendi Masala (110) and Rajma Rassedar (80) followed. The chicken went well with hot Butter Naan. The veggie fare was ordinary. The Rajma lacked flavour, even after we teamed it with a generous dose of pickle. If you must try the fare, order in. It's better than having a meal with cats hide-n-seek around your table.
