Great place to have your weekend lunch/dinner. This place serves some really nice loaded nachos and pizzas. The drinks also were decent. The dj plays superb songs topped up with the amazing ambience. We always feel like returning back to this place..

Great spot to enjoy your weekend. Good starters,drinks and music (DJ). Best thing about this place is located at the centre of the city(near railway station), its still away from the rush of the city.With multiple pubs nearby this place is an attraction for the youngsters. They have decent crowd, open up till 1:30 am, and has great atmosphere.

The food was yummy and tasty, the ambience was good and there was a revolving platform in the middle! However, the service could improve a lot. They made a mistake of not letting us know that malai fondue was not available in a particular dish and hence they had served mint chutney instead. During billing, when we questioned that, the server admitted to the mistake hesitantly when the manager/captain swooped and started denying any mistake made. Its human to err and theres a different grace in accepting ones mistake. The captains attempt of covering things up left a bad taste.The food is yummy though, just ensure you get what you ordered.

This Place is good for dinner. Their theme is really nice. It has good sitting place to have a team as well as for couples they have seats for 2. They have a round rotating bar.This is a good place in night for a booze with dinner.

Hello All,I have visited this place recently and the ambience is quite good. They have a rotating bar table that is something new. They serve hookah at this place. So, may not be good for children and families.Food quality is average, nothing so special about the food which we have ordered. The mocktails which we ordered was of very average quality. These are the reason why overall the rating is 3.Ambience ratings:- 4/5Food rating:- 3/5Non-alcoholic beverages:- 3/5Alcoholic beverages:- 3/5Staff behaviour/Service:- 4/5

Excellent place and awesome food.The let away was the arrogance and attitude of the manager. For this very same reason, the rating goes as 3/5 from my side.The manager was way too adamant and arrogant.If I want to tip the waiter, Ill rather pay from my pocket and give it to him. He cant force me to pay by including in the bill as service charge (which by the way has been done away with by the Govt of India) and then refuse to remove it from the bill. The pathetic and arrogant attitude shown by him was a big let off.Otherwise a beautiful place. Must visit (if you dont encounter that idiot)

Visited this wonderful place for a dinner. First thing I liked about this place is the ambiance. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating with multiple chair options. Seating is comfortable. Service was quick and prompt. All the staff was helpful. We tried some drinks and food.- Botanica Punch: First cocktail we tried. It was good.- The Red Beet Eye: Another cocktail which consists of beetroot and kokam.- Peri Peri Chicken Supreme: This consists of boneless chicken. Taste was good. Chicken was fresh.- House Charred Spiced Prawns: These are marinated prawns with some lettuce. Liked the taste. Must try dish. Prawns were big enough in size.- Chicken Kebabs: We tried 2 types of chicken kebabs. One was like chicken tikka and other was sikh kebab which was flat. Taste was nice.- Beer Batter Calamari: A kind of fried fish. Taste was awesome. It was crispy.- Aamsutra: Cocktail made out of raw mango that is muramba. Loved it.- Chicken and Shitake Dumpling: These are basically chicken momos. Liked the taste of dumplings. It was nice.- Chicken Makhani: This is like butter chicken. Highly recommended dish. Gravy was full of butter. It was tasty. Chicken was fresh and tender.- Boozy Lemonade: Only mocktail we tried. It consists of fresh strawberry, basil leaves, passion fruit and lime juice. It was good.Overall, very nice option to have lip smacking starters and drinks. Must visit place with very good ambiance and live music.

Place was good, cocktails were nice. Letdown was food, thankfully starters were good both veg and nonveg. Mains we ordered chicken Stroganoff,which was too salty n cheesey ,we had to send it back. Dessert again nothing was available as per the menu, only brownie , which was a thin stone hard small piece for 325/- they told us that it will be served with ice-cream which wasnt there, then we had to ask for that as well... Ambience and cocktails are good, they really need to work on their menu and taste of food.

Food was good, but service wasnt. Repeat order of parathas took more than 15 minutes, and we lost interest in food. I think it is Mai ly for drinks cause there were not many options with food. Food was ok, we ordered biryani, २-३ dishes of chicken and २ dishes of paneer. Starters were good.

Review №26

To be honest, I would not have written this review, but the waiter insisted atleast 5-6 times to write one. Here it goes...We needed lunch at 3pm, and this was the one that showed up as open. Never knew that the mill behind le meridian has converted, so yes, it was a welcome shock!The place is just about okay, broken tiles, broken laminates on the table. The waiters were not really interested in sitting us, just looked point blank. For the place, we would expect a nice menu card, but it was just a normal a4 page print out with food stains all over.Coming to the food and drinks, they didnt have the tamarind grape mocktail :(We ordered pita bread and Hummus and then again another pita bread. The taste was okay.For the mains, a vegetarian khaosuey and meat, meat and meat pizza. The khaosuey was decently good ( compared to mamagato, it wasnt as good) and the pizza was a total let down. It should be renamed to cheese overload pizza. The sausages were dry and had no taste. The pizza took very long to be served as well.Cost- we used the zomato gold, so it cost us 970! And yes, its quite pocket unfriendly!The ambience is good if they would maintain it well. Never found a use of a rotating bar though! Just fancy stuff. The indoor sitting wasnt open yet. Good place to hang out with a group/casual date if you dont mind the broken tiles/laminate on the table and a staff that forces you to review ;)

Not a well maintained place. Food and drinks are too expensive. Food portion size is very small not giving any value for money.Pav Sliders Mutton Keema - 3 pieces with some fries. Ordinary taste, French fries were soggyVeg Bruschetta- 5 pieces with half a spoon of vegetables which did not cover even half the slice of bread slice. Tasted only of melted cheese and garlicHouston Wings - 8 burnt tiny pieces of Chicken wings tossed in a very dry sauce with lots of sesame.Chicken Tikka Masala - 4 small pieces of boneless chicken in lots of gravy which did not taste anywhere close to anything authentic. Very spicyMutton Rogan Josh - 4 small pieces of Mutton in the same gravy as chicken. Dont think they even know what is a Mutton Rogan JoshOnly good thing is service staff which is polite, humble and helpful.

It is situated at the backside of Sheraton Grand. Inside RajaBahadur Mills.The location itself is superb and so is BotanicaHad a private party here and superb management. Music Choice could have been better by the DJ. The dance floor is small and perfect for small parties. The outdoor seating area is very good colourful.Drinks were a little on the expensive side but the Ambience makes up for it.Overall a very good place to party on the weekend.

Overall experience was good.Would rate 4-5 stars, if the DJ was good enough.It was like he played the songs for himself. Your requests doesnt matter for him. In short, the way music was played, can be easily found on youtube DJ party songs (much better collection), no need of DJ...

Very slow on service, for 1 mocktail had to remind 4 times as the guy forgot to inform in kitchen! Finally got it on table in about 30 mins. Same goes for food.Coming to music.. we had been there for a good peppy bollywood for dance, was quite disappointed there too.Wins a star for ambience n food taste. Absolutely no issues with food. Few starters were really nice.Alas! Coz of poor dj, we moved to Effingut KP ( which turned out to be the right decision)

Went to botanica with family on 17th August. The manager was very arrogant and shameless as well.They did not have anything in the quickbites from their menu, only kebabs and pizzas were available. Also few popular drinks were not available.The manager said that the service charge they levy is compulsory. Central minister Ram Vilas Paswan, the current Cabinet Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has clearly mentioned that any compulsion of service charge by the restaurant to the customers is illegal, I showed this tweet to the manager yet he said if you are willing to pay you may sit or else you may leave.I request the hotel management to please have atleast a decent person who looks after your restaurant. Also, go through the rules and regulations before you run your restaurant. If you levy service charges it is mandatory for you to mention about it but it is totally at customers discretion to pay it or not.

Botanica, the recently opened bar and restaurant in the erstwhile Raja Bahadur Mills, is a fantastic place to chill and have a great time.AMBIENCE (4/5): The place is lovely with neon light arcs flickering and music blasting out of the speakers. The entire place is adorned with plants and flowery shrubs that gives the place a natural look and accentuates the overall beauty. Comfortable chairs, a large bar counter, and ample seating space, the place has all it needs to accommodate several guests on a Friday evening. The decor is chic, sophisticated and the place has lively vibes and feels upbeat.FOOD (4/5): The food here is awesome, expect one or two,I loved the entire meal.MULTIPLE MUSHROOM SOUP: The soup, having been prepared out of creamy mushrooms, crispy mushrooms, truffle scented mushrooms and served with a piece of rustic bread, was the perfect way to start my meal. The soup gave nice flavors of the different mushrooms and had a good consistency. The bread was fresh and had a nice flavor.FIERY TANDOORI TOSSED IDLI POPCORNS: These were small balls fried, and tossed in a fiery tandoori masala, that gave it a zing and increased the hotness quotient. The accompanying green chutney was a delight with fresh flavors. Loved this one.MINI KEBAB PLATTER: This mini platter consisting of dahi ke kebabs, beetroot cheesy kebabs and hara bhara kebabs was an absolute bomb.I liked the presentation too, being served in an artistic wooden plate resembling a hollow log. The kebabs were fantastic. I especially loved the beetroot one, it had a proper balance of beetroot and cheese and tasted delicious.SMOKED CHEESE ASPARAGUS TARTLETS: A unique dish, this one had small tarts filled with a mix of asparagus, cheese, herbs and veggies. The taste was more on the sweeter side, and the tart provided it a nice crunch.A great one to try here.PIZZA: Although the pizza was good with ample fresh toppings, the base was burnt which spoiled it for me. They should ensure the base isnt burnt or hard, before serving. Need a little improvement here.BEVERAGES: I had a watermelon jalapeño cooler, which I liked with its refreshing taste and a hint of spice. The rose fizz was my personal favorite, with a lovely flavor of rose balanced properly by ginger syrup and apple juice.Hibiscus fields had a lovely, perfectly balanced sweet sour taste owing to the hibiscus syrup, orange juice, lime juice, berry puree together with a hint of sugar syrup and a splash of soda. The drink was rejuvenating and great to wash down the food.DESSERT: I had a classic brownie with vanilla ice cream. Although the presentation was good, the brownie was a bit hard and not upto the mark.SERVICE (5/5): It was a Sunday night, teeming with people but the service we got was top notch. The staff was attentive and prompt. The manager took special care and was hospitable. Cheers!VALUE FOR MONEY (4/5): Apart from minor hiccups, the entire experience was highly enjoyable. Not to mention the lovely decor and great service they provide. The prices are normal and the menu is large and versatile with a plethora of options to choose from. Looking at all the factors, Id say the place is value for money, even more if youre a Gold member and would justify the amount spent. A decent visit overall.Keep following me on zomato and instagram to get to know the best places in town to dine and party. My Instagram link is in bio.
