Pirates of Grill (MG Road, Gurgaon)

Pirates of Grill. I had heard of the name many times from a couple of friends, praising the food and service but also regarded PoG as an imitation. So, I got an opportunity to visit the Gurgaon outlet for a foodie meetup on a lazy Sunday afternoon and towards the end of the lunch, everybody present knew that this place, especially THIS meal would get a thumbs up from each and every one present and yes they certainly deserve good reviews from the foodie fraternity. We were invited by Zomato to have a lunch with none other than Rocky and Mayur. Now, they need no introductions! I had a presumption that restaurants having a similar concept had better food than Pirates of Grill.

The starters had more variety than the others in the same league. The best part that I really appreciated was their concept of different coloured plates for the vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Salsa potatoes and Tawa mutton were the ones that I really liked. The meat was moist and spicy. The service was really quick and here, you certainly do not have the option of under-eating because of their courteous staff who will convince you to eat more till your tummy gives up but your taste buds crave for more. The main course section definitely had more dishes and among the best were keema masala and kadhaai paneer. I am not a salad-person but by seeing an array of the non-vegetarian salads, I tried a few.

Coming to the desserts, the mudpie was sinful, the chocolate nutty pie was sheer chocolate and mildly sweetened. Gulab jamuns were soft and moist and the Yole log was similar to the swiss rolls but this one had no jam but loads of fresh cream.
The experience was amazing. Towards the end, I was bloating.

Dislike- Crispy corns because of a peculiar smell.
Likes- Welcome drink, which was coconut water with a tinge of lemon and mint. As for the service, they certainly deserve five stars because of their politeness and attentiveness. None of the drinks ordered took more than 5-7 minutes to reach the table, which was commendable.

A must-visit. Happy Eating!
