A lot of mystery shrouded the Saturday launch of the new restaurant AKA which has come up at the location where 212 once used to be. However when we appeared at the venue, the curtain opened to a glorious blockbuster!
We attended the media preview of the same last week and were ushered into the very elegantly done interiors of the sprawling new restaurant. The restaurant is done up in beautiful black and white geometrical patterns which are pleasing to the eyes. The chairs around the tables have colorful mosaic patterns which are in tune with the black and white wall and lighting accents. The French bay windows give the place a sense of space and the small al fresco dining area in front of the restaurant gives smokers a chance to indulge in their vice and be a part of happenings inside at the same time.

Though the tasting started with an overcooked Prawn cocktail, the Chilean Santa Rita that was being poured along with it, kind of compensated. The Watermelon and Goat Cheese terrine that followed was quite refreshing and the wood fired Baked Camembert oozed with delicious goodness that words may not be able to justify.


I usually avoid spending a lot of time at launches and usually make a come and go kind of an appearance but here, much to everyone´s surprise, I was not only one of the first ones to arrive, but was also the last one to leave the restaurant. This can clearly be attributed to some fantastic company of friends, some delicious food and some great wine that kept us at our best wits.
