We were at this beautiful, cult themed eatery - illuminati. They’ve got fab, black and white interiors and seating complementing the whole aura of the place. They’ve got a whole ambiance that commands respect and denotes class through and through. The food carries multiple cuisines - indian, Chinese, Thai and continental and they showcase some signature dishes with a twist. Plating is exceptionally beautiful with singular portion sizes meals. Here’s what we ate: 1. Fish and chips poppers - all fried elements with a mushy peas, potato cheese poppers and fried Rawas. Served with some spicy remoulade. 2. Pomegranate Molasses lamb chops - these were beautifully shaped lamb medallions that were soaked in a sweet sauce. The predominant flavours were sweet, tangy and creamy and was delicious. 3. Chicken and prawns suimai dimsums - these were cute little balls of flavour with a taut coating. 4. Jasmine steamed Rawas with lemongrass prawns broth - the Rawas was steamed to fall apart on touch perfection and had undertones of jasmine to it. The broth had a strong flavour of tomato. Served on a bed of noodles with prawn crackers it was quite an art in its presentation. 5. Chilli crusted prawns with tabbouleh - the crust was soft and the prawns were fresh. Loved the tabbouleh served along with it. 6. Confit duck leg with medjool date purée - the duck leg was tender, juicy and the added skin was just a brilliant addition to it. The date purée added a new dimension and lifted the dish. Enjoyed it. 8. Jasmine chicken fried rice - the chicken fried rice was really pearly and quite delicious. Loved it. 9. Decadent cake french Toast - The bade was a pound cake instead of bread which was fried with an egg dip. Was served with some vanilla ice cream and some dusting sugar and was simple, yet really heart warming and delicious. For the drinks we tried some of their mocktails Which were just as good as the food. The Heaven on Earth is a favourite. It’s got the freshness of watermelon accentuated by the light hint of passion fruit and lemongrass. Bloody brilliant. We were served by Maaz. Service was prompt and courteous. Had a great time and particularly enjoyed the beautiful plating, classy ambiance and their playlist.

This place illuminates with it's beauty and enigma. This place is a perfect concoction of nightclub, fine dine and a lounge with an amazing bar. Black and White interiors with triangular logo and flooring gives a certain intensity to the theme. We just loved the elegance with which the food was displayed and presented. To BEGIN WITH - We tried their pomogranate molasses Lamb chops which were cooked nicely but could have been paid for attention to detail. -We just loved their Tokyo Chicken Karrage which was crispy and tasty with sweet chilli sauce -We loved their tempura prawns and chicken and prawn shumai too. -Their baked gnocchi fonduta was foodporn with 4 different cheese sauces -For cocktails we tried their Secret Society which is a classic of Jim Beam with Blue Pea Tea and egg whites. Their blue fairy and forbidden fruit were also refreshing -We concluded our food journey with Simply Chocolate dessert which had hazelnut mousse, browine and tempered chocolate All in all amaze and different experience altogether

Illuminati is a newly opened casual dining bar winch serves Asian, Japanese, American and European cuisines with some explicit cocktails and mocktails. They have really done splendid work with the interiors, as there is major use of glass and elaborate glass work adorning the ceilings and walls. The bar also looks quite good and definitely serves you some nice cocktails. We had 📍Elixir This drink was a concoction of litchi along with some hibiscus tea and vodka (Ketel One). This was one of the best cocktails I have had. The drink was just perfect. I even loved the way it was presented, with 2 litchies on a stick on the cusp of the glass. Highly recommended! 📍Believer As soon as you bring this drink near your lips to drink it, you are welcomed by the strong smell of vanilla. The flavor isn't much recognizable as it also has chamomile. But worth a try 📍Mon Amie This was a watermelon based drink, if you aren't one to experiment, then this is the drink for you. 📍 Blue fairy I have never been the one to try bourbon based cocktails, but I am lucky I tried this one out. Another highly recommended one! Coming to the appetizers we had Pizza inspired aranchini This is the dream come true for all cheese lovers. The fusion of arancini and pizza, an absolute delight! And the sweet and sour marinara to complete it, top notch! Charcoal bread double cheese sandwich This is basically grilled cheese, but with a twist. The bread here is made with activated charcoal and the sandwich is served with tomato olive sauce. Another dish worth trying In mains we had Grilled polenta with mushrooms and pecorine It's a vegetarian dish with the grilled polenta topped with with a cheesy, creamy sauce with mushrooms and grilled aspharagus and some tomato sauce. Deconstructed Coq Au Vin This wine braised chicken dish is enough for a single person to finish it off, it is served with some mashed potatoes and roast garlic thyme puree. The chicken is perfectly cooked and tastes delicious with all the other small items on the plate. Worth a try! And now finally to the desserts Simply chocolate This was a delight to see and eat, so many different things on a single plate, even though they have their individual personalities but together they made the dish 10 times more delicious. A must try!!! Illuminati is a place which I would highly recommend to visit during the nights, as the place turns into a complete party place, and also to have a good meal with a pretty ambience and absolutely top notch food.
