Bazaar

The Park Hotels, pioneers of luxury boutique hotels in India are present in prime locations, they house some of India’s most inventive restaurants, liveliest bars & nightclubs, award winning spa and health clubs.
They have launched one of its ‘design-conscious, price-conscious’ brand ‘Zone by The Park’ in Coimbatore. It houses a multi cuisine dining restaurant ‘Bazaar’ in Coimbatore. Inspired by multi-hued charismastic native Bazaars, Bazaar is a multi cultural potpurri of food, people and ideas.

Ambience

This outlet in a pop up format at India Design Fair at NSIC grounds, Delhi, was supposed to be a simulation of original restaurant ‘ Bazaar’ of Park Coimbatore.

I got to review this restaurant Bazaar while attending the Fair- India Design at Delhi. I was told that whatever I would eat there would have same taste as that of Coimbatore Park’s ‘Bazaar’ keeping aside a few limitations that existed, it being a temporary arrangement for three days.

Looking at the decor and interiors, it was confirmed that my experience was going to be good. It was a happening outlet designed very intricately considering optimum utilization of space along with the ‘Bazaar’ theme. It took me a while to get away from the ambience as it was very captivating. At the leftmost corner , there was a jazzy auto decorated with art and designs of Jaipur culture. It was an indication about the upcoming Park hotel in Jaipur. Autos at distinct locations of Park hotels depict the art and culture of that destination.

Heading further was a full wall in front dedicated to the grocery depicting the theme of Bazaar. The left and right walls provided a glimpse of various kinds of popular books at a location. It was indeed a remarkable concept to express the culture of a destination.Then there was seating arrangement with a little stall of ‘Lakshya’ on the right.

Menu card

I was delighted by the overall ambience of the restaurant.

Food

A la carte  menu served includes club sandwiches, desi platters with flavours of Chinese and Itslian cuisines. I ordered Ceasar salad and Lakshya which was soup with manchow. Both were delicious. Lakshya had peanuts and basil leaves. Ceaser salad was bland and had cheese as expected. It was also mouthwatering. This was followed by chicken tikka Masala with Hyderabadi biryani along with salon. Chicken tikka masala was delectable with appropriate blend of spices. I had digestive boondi raita at the end.

Finale was done by having a dessert named ‘Death by chocolate’. Oh, it was just lip smacking. I was too full but just could not resist it and finished it to my surprise.

Street cart

The restaurant was so full that guests had waiting time of at least twenty minutes. I could see the personal commitment and accountability of the staff at the rush hour. I too had to wait till the order was taken. Food came swiftly after I ordered customized food. Food was worth the wait. I could imagine if the food at temporary arrangement was so finger licking what would be the experience at Coimbatore’s Park ‘Bazaar’ in its original setting with elegant crockery. Can’t wait to visit.
