My and my dining companion's culinary tour started off with a refreshing Strawberry Mojito, a perfect blend of Fresh Mint Leaves, floating in a mix of Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice, Strawberry Syrup and Soda, suggested by the Restaurant Manager, Mr. Joseph Jacob, served with Complimentary Vegetarian and Prawn Crackers.

Our overwhelming experience continued with mouth watering servings of Vegetarian Wontons stuffed with finely chopped Mushrooms, Beans, Carrot and Broccoli, Chicken Bun made with Tender Braised Chicken and Sea Food Dim Sums, filled with a delicious mix of Hamur, Squid and Prawns freshly prepared by Chef Tek Bahadur in the Live Cooking Station followed by Hot Pot Soup, an Asian broth of Sea Food and Vegetables, which is a spoiler if you are planning to have main course.

Besides food cooked to perfection, extremely friendly and welcoming staff combined with commendable service contributed to a remarkable dining experience. Chef Tek Bahadur patiently guided us through the ingredients of each offering and recommended dishes based on our preferences, Mr. Joseph Jacob, the Restaurant Manager welcomed us and ensured we had a fulfilling experience and Mr. Rishiraj Bhatnagar, the Deputy General Manager of Citymax Hotel, personally stopped by to welcome us.
From a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being Poor and 5 being Exceptional, I rate this restaurant as 4.5 (Between Very Good and Exceptional) solely due to exquisitely presented scrumptious offerings not very tough on the pocket, extra ordinary service, elegant interior and soothing ambiance.
