I fell in love with thai and mexican food after the stint in bay area, US and is in a hunt to find good thai and mexican restaurant in bangalore.
When i read about Aroy in Bangalore Mirror we decided to give it a try.
What we ordered is as follows.
TomYum soup:
Yummy ,simply the best i have ever tried bangalore.
Signature Appetizer Sampler Platter veg:
Just average.Spring rolls,golden triangles and Banana Blossom Cakes served with sweet and sour dip. Banana blossom cake was too oily for my taste and was bland and the dip was not sufficient, may be caz we love our dips.. :)
Apricot Glazed Cauliflower:
Great. I liked the burst of flavours and the portion was good for 3.
For the main course
Pineapple fired rice:
Just OK, The menu says "Pineapple fried Rice-With raisin, water chestnut rubies and nuts" and the one which we were served just had rice and finely chopped pineapple and no nuts or raisin not even a single one and pineapple was not ripe enough !! I should mention the rice which was used in it was really good.
Penang Curry veg
Simply Great.. the right flavours and the portion was big.
Pahd Thai:
The flavour was OK, but the rice noodle was not cooked properly and portion served was comparatively less. Felt the one served in beijing bites was better than this. :(
Dessert
Pumpkin Custard
Good. Nice presentation i should say..The custard was served in slices of small pumpkins(we are not supposed to eat the pumpkins,just the custard :)) and coconut icecream was good.
Now about the restaurant, the ambiance was great. We chose so sit in the open air and weather was just perfect, after rain and about to rain :)
I should mention the service was superb.. the manager, i assume, was always there to help us. They did tell us that penang curry and pineapple fried rice doesn't go well together and suggested we try plain rice to go with it, but since we were on a hunt to find "the thai restaurant " in bangalore we decided to take pineapple fried rice.
The prices were reasonable.
We will visit again to try the other items in the menu just because i know that they are taking understanding customer requirement to a new level.. kudos Aroy team, i just received a mail from the team,not auto reply ,custom made one based on the feedback form i filled..!!
