Last Saturday night six of us headed to the Smokehouse Grill in GKII for drinks and dinner. I had been tempted to try the Smokehouse as I'd heard about the in-house smoker, the delicious cocktails and fine DJ. We booked a table in the lounge at 8pm and in true Delhi style we were the only ones there at this ridiculously early hour, well at least four of us were there to enjoy the watermelon martini (yum!) while our other two guests got a little lost in the world of Greater Kailash (there's GKI and GKII). We were the only diners in the lounge, but we were happy, at this hour most of the guests were heading up to the dining room to eat. Next time we might do that but to be honest we were very happy in the lounge and had a good seat for later on in the evening.
So when we had our full compliment of diners we ordered a very average 2005 sav blanc..... and some delicious entrees - fried artichokes and beetroot ravioli. Both of these were really lovely, the beetroot ravioli was tiny but full of flavour and surprisingly good. The artichoke were fantastic.
As I thought we might, we recovered from the bad white and moved onto a nice Sangiovese and some really beautiful mains. Most of us decided the steak looked too good to miss. I haven't had a steak for a very long time and this steak was superb! Cooked to medium rare perfection and covered in two generous slices of Camembert. The serving was super generous and I couldn't finish my meal even though it was so good, not to worry T happily polished it off. The sides were also very generous - I remember that much - what they were I couldn't tell you.... to much sangiovese perhaps. I know there was a potato dish ......I suppose this really means we didn't really need the sides, the mains were plenty.
Once we had finished our mains we sat back for awhile watched the crowd and enjoyed the wine and then had desserts, I ordered a tiramisu. It was a modern take on the classic and looked beautiful and tasted just as good. Freshly prepared it had individual sponge fingers stacked like a jenga game held together by delicious coffee cream. Then more red wine......
By this time the bar area was full of the young sexy things of Delhi (about 11pm). It was packed, the DJ was cranking up for a big night and it was a really fun place to be. Unfortunately not being part of the 'young' set anymore we took ourselves home around 12.30pm but the party was only just getting started.
