We decided to check out a new restaurant on our wedding anniversary. As we entered ‘Offbeat’, we were ushered in by a bevy of eager stewards, for the restaurant was almost deserted except for five-odd diners. But then we were rather early for dinner. Just as we settled at our table, a smiling waiter handed us the menus — photocopies that didn’t match up to the chic ambience. My mom-in-law approved instantly of the ‘Roasted corn and mushroom soup’ (Rs 70) that she had ordered. Both the appetizers — ‘Malaysian paneer satay (Rs 140) and ‘Lemon garlic chicken’ (Rs 150) were well worth the wait and the portions reasonable. ‘Offbeat’ passed its first test with flying colours. By the time we finished the hors d’oeuvres, the place had begun to fill up and most tables were occupied. For the main course, I ordered the ‘Pachkari Ishtu’ (Rs 150). The in-laws shared a platter of ‘Thai Green Curry with Rice’ while my husband opted for ‘Hyderabadi Keema’ (Rs 190). ‘Offbeat’ had set our expectations rather high after the mouth-melting starters and soup. However, my Ishtu was passable and not as spicy as I’d hoped. Same for the Thai Green Curry which failed to impress. Worse, both the white curries tasted similar. Fortunately, the Keema made the grade and was not a disappointment. The service is prompt, portions good and the table well laid. A meal for four costed about Rs 1,100. We hope the main course will get better after the restaurant gets over the initial settling-in glitches.
