Arabic Food.
It has its own aura about it. The smell, the taste, the after-effects. It is one of its kind.
And we specially miss it cuz we miss Gulf and our NRI friends who come bearing Zatar bread, mamoul and dates after vacation.
And so, we were overly joyed to see Marrakesh outlet opened in Hinjewadi, Pune.
Located on the city highway which connects an outskirts Hinjewadi to main city, this place gets lot of eyeballs for sure.
The seating is comfortable, fine-dining type, unlike other Marrakesh, where it is open air seating.
The music is subtle Arabic.
The staff courteous.
But, few things on the menu are not available and it is overpriced for its food quantity. Yes, if it was a dhaba sort, I would accept the food quality too. But for fine dining Arabic restaurant, this was a slight disappointment.
The biggest disappointment was the traditional trademark vegetable pickle…!! It was bland, a total unexpected thing.
The zatar bread was basically tandoori roti with zatar sprinkled over it. An okay-okay deal.
Overall, go to Marrakesh Hinjewadi when you have a sudden urge to eat Arabic food but lazy to drive down to city.
