Rangoli – Cama Hotel, Bhadra, Ahmedabad: DECOR
Walk through the lobby of the Cama Hotel and descend the steps to the rear leading to the lawns. With well-lit fountains, a swimming pool and a semiopen kitchen, the lawns have now been converted into a garden restaurant called Rangoli with lamp lit tables.
Rangoli – Cama Hotel, Bhadra, Ahmedabad: FOOD
The menu is not too long, with a strong focus on tandoori and tava dishes. I started with Lucknowi Boti Kebab, cubes of mutton that were tender and well marinated. The house special is Marble Seekh Kebab, made from two different meats, the white meat of chicken and the darker goat meat, giving it a marbled look. Murgh Angarey is their take on chicken tikka, earthy in taste and texture, and a bit spicy. Kalmi Kebab was a milder dish of tandoori drumstick. The Samudri Jalpari, well-spiced tandoori prawns, and Tandoori Pomfret are good options for those who like seafood. For vegetarians, they have the usual tandoori starters with mushroom, paneer and cauliflower, as well as signatures like the Sundried Tomato Mozzarella, Cheese Stuffed Potato, the melt-in-your-mouth Kumbh Kankori, Tandoori Hara Phool (Broccoli in a green masala).
The Dal Makhani here has the creamy smoothness and earthy taste desired from this dal, and the biryanis are acceptable.
The Matka Phirniand the Moong Dal Halwa are both excellent.
Rangoli – Cama Hotel, Bhadra, Ahmedabad: PLUS AND MINUS
Rangoli is one of the few garden restaurants in the city, and this together with some good tandoori food makes it worthwhile for dinner. If you do not want to make a meal of just kebabs, you could have your starters here and then head for one of the other hotel restaurants for the mains. However as the same lawns are rented out for weddings and parties, it is a good idea to call and check if it is open for dinner on the night of your planned visit.
