Coming directly to the review, I rate The Flying Saucer Sky Bar amongst the best restaurants in the city if you are looking for authentically made food in a variety of cuisines, sitting on top of the town with beautiful views of the city all around.

Both the Mushroom starters: “Mushroom and Parsley Croquettes” and “Classic Stuffed Tandoori Mushrooms” were perfectly made.

The Lot Veg. Pizza also tasted delicious. The pizza being thin crust, I was a bit hesitant as I don’t like thin crust pizzas. However, it turned out to be quite tasty.

The Paneer Kali Miri Tikka had the perfect amount of marination. It is vital to have it in perfect proportion otherwise you will either just feel more paneer or more Kali Miri marination.

The star of the evening was Chilly Cheese Poppers. There was nothing that could have bet the delicacy. Brilliant I say.

Coming to the mains, I must say that Dal Makhani was true to its originality, and tasted heavenly.

The Veg. Biryani was not up to the mark as it did not taste any near how normally a Biryani is expected to taste.
