Elysian: The Middle-eastern - Vadodara

Karari Rumali Roti one of the best ive ever tried!<br/ Kasundi Chicken Tikka well marinated tender pieces, worth trying!<br/ Paneer Paratha a bit bland, but comfort food anyday<br/ Yakhni Chicken Biryani the meat could have been cooked better but the flavor of the rice absolutely compensated for it<br/ <br/ Pleasantly surprised with what this restaurant has to offer. Great ambiance and quality food, definitely going back for more!

Fantastic service coupled with delicious food. We had one of the best cheese naan ,jooje chicken and delicious shaahi tukda . The mocktails were also well made. The ambience is beautiful.

Ambience, food variety and food quality is very good. And on top of it, Manager and staff is very courteous. Highly recommended for non veg lovers

It really creates a deep curiousity when the restaurant claims to be one of the most authentic Middle eastern cuisine serving place in the city. Knowing the fact that it serves Non vegetarian options too, I still happened to visit Elysian with full of hopes.<br/ <br/ I liked how they kept two divisions of the restaurant separated by a common concierge area. It does give a very classy impression. On entering the middle eastern division, I was taken a back dim lights, big mirrors, beautiful lamps designed to look like mini chandeliers giving a nudge that you are really at a middle eastern restaurant. So for ambience 5/5.<br/ <br/ I ordered this *YAKHNI SABZ* soup which made my taste buds feel like they have hit a jackpot. Its incredible how the chef served a dish which had a mixture of saffron, cardamom, Cinnamon AND garlic it stil tasted delicious. With the soup, I ordered a *KARARI ROOMALI ROTI* expecting a roomali roti in a size of a papad with spices but was really surprised with the huge size deep fried roomali roti on my table when it arrived. Frankly, its good for 4 people, it has a high potential to fill your tummy up quickly. Just for the creativity I would give it a 3½ out of 5.<br/ <br/ Next for the main course ordered *KASHMIRI NAAN* *PANEER MIRCH KULCHA* both on point and loved it. The flavour of green chillies in kulcha made it so delicious yet not at all spicy. With this naan and kulcha, I ordered *MUGHLAI HANDI* because frankly rest of the sabzi sounded like any other sabzi in any north indian restaurant. This sabzi was good and went well with the naan and kulcha. For drinks I ordered *SMOKEY BUTTERMILK* , although their idea was innovative but it served no purpose of 'smoke ' because the coal was covered with foil on both the side. So the smokey effect only last for few seconds once you open the lid after that its plain old MASALA buttermilk.<br/ <br/ The food here is very filling. I could literally feel stuffed despite the fact I ordered so less.<br/ <br/ Overall the place is a bit pricy. Next time I would love to tryout the Pide section and the Biryani section of the menu.
