Exclusive Gastronomic delights from the Ports of Call

This is a wonderful place to have a once in a lifetime dining experience

The hotel and this restaurant in particular had quite a close call when a suicide bomber who had made not one but several attempts to blast himself inside this particular restaurant failed to do so on that fateful Easter Sunday. The staff was very much shaken up by it and said they were lucky to be alive. The massive blow to the tourist and hotel industry which is being felt severely by all the hotels islandwide has not excluded Taj. However, determined not to let this keep them down and making a comeback with their head held high, Taj Samudra is up and about, and open for business.

We also tried the New England Lobster roll, which was lobster meat tossed with mayo in a toasted brioche, served again with potato wedges and salad. The brioche was hot, rich and toasted just enough to give it a slight crunch, which I thought was perfect. The presentation of this dish was top notch and just looking at it made my mouth water. And believe me it tasted just as good as it looked.

The final main dish we had was the spring roast chicken. The chicken itself was roasted just right and had a lot of seasoning so it tasted amazing even without the roast gravy. That being said, the roast gravy was the perfect combination and complemented the chicken extremely well. There were also garden vegetables and potato wedges but priced at just Rs. 1250/- I must say that this dish would have been perfect without any of the complements. It was that good!
