This is my first ever restaurant review. I hope I’m able to do justice to the restaurant I’m going to talk about today - Four Seasons. It’s one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Jaipur. The food is really delicious and the good thing about it is that it tastes very much like homemade. Thus, all those who don’t prefer eating out too much due to acidity or similar problems, this is the ideal place for you! The food is remarkably light and the cooking medium they use is Pure Ghee & Refined Groundnut Oil.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
Let’s start with their menu. The best part about it is that there is something in it for everyone’s liking (unless you are in the mood for non-vegetarian food)!
Starters
Well begun is half done! They seem to know this quite well as they have the perfect snacks to begin with! Spring Rolls, Paneer Tikka and Papdi Chaat to name a few!
Soups
Soup is the best thing you can have while waiting for your meal to be served and they have a wide variety to offer! The list includes – Tomato, Palak, Rasam, Minestrone, Sweet Corn, Hot & Sour, Manchow etc.!
Delights of the Indian Kitchen
This section has all the Indian vegetable preparations you can think of! Right from Paneer dishes, Aloo dishes & Dals to Haryali Kofta, Subz Jhal Frezi, Navratan Korma, Corn Methiwala, Gobhi Taka Tin, Raseele Kumkum and Chana Masala. My favourite in this category are Kadhai Paneer, Dum Aloo and Dal Makhani!
Rice/Pulao
This category includes Plain Rice, Jeera Rice, Peas Pulao, Vegetable Pulao, Vegetable Biryani and Motia Shabnam!
Salad and Raita
Apart from the common green salad and onion salad, they also offer Carrot-Cashewnut-Coleslaw Salad and a Russian one as well! There is pineapple, plain, mixed and boondi raita. You will find Dahi Vada too!
From the Tandoor
There are all kinds of Rotis from tawa to butter to missi to khasta. Then they have Naans, Kulchas and Paranthas too! The Lachcha Parantha they offer is simply too good to resist!
The Quick Bite
If you are getting late for a meeting and don’t have time to spend on a marathon meal, then don’t panic! They provide quick service of items like Chole-Bhature, Pav-Bhaji etc.
From the Chinese Wok
If your girlfriend is crazy about Chinese food and you don’t have the budget to take her to an out and out Chinese joint, then this is the place, which can save your relation! You’ll find many Chinese vegetables here to suit her taste buds! Chilli Garlic Potato, Vegetable Balls, Egg plant & Green Pepper, Vegetable Manchurian, Vegetable-Mushroom-Bamboo Shoot and stir fried baby corn to name a few!
Rice, Noodles and Chopsuey
There are all kinds of fried rice from Mexican to Singapore. Hakka Noodles isn’t that bad either! And same can be said about Vegetable and Mushroom Chopsuey!
The World’s Contribution
This section includes the dishes from the rest of the world. Vegetable Florentine, Baked Macaroni with Capsicum & Mushroom, Spaghetti Napolitaine being a few famous ones!
Pizzas
A large group of people go to restaurants just for eating Pizza, thus, it would have been incomplete without this section! Other than the standard flavours a couple of them which stand apart are – Corn Feast (Baby Corn and Capsicum) and Great Wall of China (Chinese Noodles & Vegetables). You can also create your own pizza with your favourite toppings!
Southern Delights
If you are in the mood of South Indian food then too this place caters to your needs with Dosas, Uttapams, Idlis and Vadas!
The Big Bite
This section includes burgers, sandwiches, cutlets and French fries!
For the Time Pressed Executives
This is a service provided only during the lunch hours. There provide six take away options to choose from!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
Other than the good food they offer I’m also really impressed by their affordable rates. Considering the standard of the restaurant (from interior) and the exterior facilities it provides like Parking and Waiting the rates are pretty much down-to-earth! Not even a single dish costs in three digits!
The quantity is also ample and you won’t feel cheated at all! The staff is very friendly. The owner sits there himself. He is a humble man with a smile on his face always! He has a good rapport with the staff (doesn’t mind sharing a light moment or two with the waiters) and thus, he gets the respect he deserves from them!
The atmosphere is really cordial for family hangouts! They also provide their spacious terrace if you want to organize a party! All in all I’d recommend it to you if you plan to
Dine out!
