Pegasus Restro and Bar, Bhubaneswar

Pegasus Restro and Bar, Bhubaneswar:-

This Sunday, i.e 1-1-2017, we decided to celebrate our new year in Pegasus. We reached the place at around 1:30 after our movie at Shaheed Nagar. 

The restro was suggested by a friend, so giving it a try was a must. 

Interiors:-

The restro has two functional floors and the third floor has some interior designing going on, so it isn't functional yet. 

The ground floor is the Bar and lounge. The place has LEDs setup for display, an amazing base sound system and music on the floor playing to your choice. I'm not much of a alcohol person, so cannot comment on the collection, choice or quality of service and alcohol offered on the ground floor. 

The first floor is the Restaurant. This is suggested for the couples and families as this is a bit better ventilated, spacious and has a typically formal dining arrangement. This floor also has a good music system and an LED display, playing songs or other channels as per the viewer's choice. 

The lighting in the place was a bit dark though. But there are small leds on the roof, which are enabled if requested by the guests. 

The doors have a frosted finish with the sketch of a Pegasus glossed on it. A very innovative idea and one of the striking features about the designing. 

Appetizers:-

We were first served with some corn chips and water as a complimentary dish for our first visit. We then ordered two starters

1. Bali Prawn
2. Fish Fingers

Bali Prawn:-

This dish was the best pick for the day's menu and one of their specialties as well. The prawns were pinned with toothpicks and fried well. The dish was served crispy and sizzling with a bowl of mayo. The fish was not messed up with too many spices or flavors. A simple fried fish with salt and pepper on it. You get 8 pieces of prawns per plate and you can ask for an extra serving of mayo just as my friend did. The mayo dip tasted the usual, creamy mayo. I wish these were some chopped garlic and mint leaves added to it to enhance the flavor as the flavor wasn't very prominent. But maybe that's what enhanced the prawns more... 

The dish is good enough to make you want another plate.
A must try!! 

Fish Fingers:-

This dish was again an excellent appetizer and is sure to fascinate your taste buds. Soft and light, and served with a creamy dip . Slightly spicy and tastes best when eaten with the dip and some tomato and chilly ketchup along with it. The dish can be rated a 4/5 for its simple yet delicate taste. 

Main Coarse

Mixed Veg Fried Rice: The fried rice had the usual taste. The rice was partially boiled and partially fried. It had veggies like carrot,peas, finely chopped onion and shredded beans. The carrots were chopped to cubes and gave a good crunch to the dish. The rice was a simple yet fresh dish as I could feel the moisture in the dish as I ate it.

Hyderabadi Kadhai Mushroom: This dish was a bit on the richer and heavier side. The curry was creamy and had a good texture in the gravy. It was spicy and gave a tinge of the Royal Hyderabadi Nawab feeling in its taste. The mushrooms used were the regular Button mushrooms cut into halves. Each mushroom was sliced into 2, and was fresh and juicy. The gravy was well absorbed into the mushroom and the dish clearly reflected that the mushrooms were well marinated before they were put on fire. The gravy had the richness of roasted cashew paste along with the aroma of the nawabi spices such as elaichi and cloves. The dish was served with the fried rice and a garnish of coriander and flower cut tomatoes. 

The overall experience was good. For a new restro, the price seems to be a bit on the higher end, but the food says it all.
