Lily's Kitchen/Lounge Bar
Thx to zomato . we were invited to a foodie meetup at Lily's to try some of their menu items and drink specialties ,,,,
We were welcomed in a professional way and guided to our table , actually we were given the choice to choose which table is more comfy ... and as any meetup in a resto/bar it starts with the welcome drinks which were the Venue's specialty ,
-Lily smash for vodka lovers with a twist of lemongrass syrup in it
-Tangerine is the heaven for GIN-Heads with their special homemade Tangerine Cordial
-And for the bravehearts the Dark & Stormy drink with spiced Rum ,bitters , lime juice and of course their homemade Ginger Beer
Now lets get down to business and start with the food part , not long after we were seated the food train started rolling , we kicked of the night with
-Greens & Red Quinoa Salad : Was a bit dry , quinoa seeds were hard to chew and under-seasoned
-Kale Salmon Salad : The Kale had no taste at all , the salmon was dry and overcooked and there was no sense of lime juice in it to give it a fresh taste
-Bruschetta Aubergine : You can't go wrong with that ! it was perfect just the way it is , and the pesto bed where the eggplants were laying gave it a remarkable twist .
-Fresh Grilled Calamari : Chewy , No taste , Crunchy bits inside the calamari , under-seasoned , no dressing except the lemon juice !
-Smoked Salmon rolls : with the cream cheese inside and caper &pickles aside this plate was my second favorite of the night ! it was perfectly prepared and didn't need anything more .
- Pizzetta Diavola : The star of the night , you are risking it when the pizza is so thin , but these guys did it perfectly , thin soft crust (tortilla bread like crust ), chorizo , olives oregano , tomato sauce , mozzarella cheese , , ..... the perfect ingredients for a perfect appetizer !
-and then came the mini burgers ! the first attempt was a complete failure to be honest , the meat was overcooked and you can taste the burn , but since the Guy in charge is a professional and took all our comments in a constructive way , he had them changed to a medium well done meat kind of burger and turned out to be perfect ! Seasoned to perfection and taste of heaven with every small bite !
-And last but not least we were presented with Veggie rolls with sweet and sour sauce aside , it was too good to be missed !
As an overall experience it was good , but with some tweaks to the plates served this place can set new standards for food serving at bars ! since they have friendly / professional staff and potential and creativity !
