E-Hotel is located in one of our familiar haunts, Express Avenue mall.  We are pretty regular to Express Avenue but never knew where it was and wondered about its location whenever a few of our friends talked about it.  Vegetarians know the difficulty of eating at Food court in EA mall.  Not many vegetarian options out there and we always seek the two vegetarian restaurants in the food court for our food.  So when we were invited for a Blogger meet at E-Hotel, it was with sheer curiosity that we landed there.  The entrance to the hotel is in Patullos Road and so head to Gate number 1 or 2 to get to E-hotel and to the restaurant Entrée. So now the secret of its location is out, let us talk about the ambiance and food.

Before we go further, this review was due December 1^st week and thanks to the Chennai Floods, my mobile is gone and so are my photographs of the food at Entrée.  So now with the courtesy of pictures from E-hotel, we are all set to write our experience. It was indeed a pleasure to be in a global cuisine Vegetarian restaurant and the option to eat everything served without any exceptions.  We were received well by the E-hotel team and the General Manager in particular took special interest and joined us throughout the time we were there along with the chefs.

Our lunch buffet menu included (the menu changes every time)

Overall food was pretty good. We would have preferred food to have more salt but the chef explained that it was done purposefully so people who should have low salt can still have it while the ones who need it can add it.

Papdi Ki Subzi is made of papad and was one dish we tasted for the first time.  For the traditional food lovers, there is Sambar, Rasam, poriyal too.

Rajasthani, Marwari cuisine is the restaurant’s specialty and given this information, we tested out the pasta and it was really good.

Desserts were the highlight and special mention to the kiwi pastry, mango pastry and strawberry mousse. Honestly, huge range of food and so many options, it is really difficult to write about each and every item.

Over and all, it is a buffet priced at Rs.650 + taxes and you get yummilicious vegetarian food as much as you want.

Few points for the Entrée team to consider –

• Golden onion fried rice was crispy and dry, a bit of softness would have helped.
• Babycorn Tempura was soggy and missed the crispiness.
• Pesto tomato salad was tasting a bit bitter

Impressive ambience, artistic presentation and great hospitality was extended by the E-hotel team.
