Hotel Blossom, Shimla

We had lunch at Hotel Blossom the 6th of this month, i always like the ambience the garden, lawn and flowers. But this time i was disappointed. The tandoor was not available as always. The new waiter tells me with tongue in his cheek, that it works according to occupancy. But all said and done the golden fried chicken was good and so was my favourite crispy honey chilly potatoe. The spicy chicken salad looked different this time.And to top it all we ordered Imperial Chicken , the menu said it is served with garlic bread and white sauce. What is served looks like a desi version of Chicken stroganoff.. sad. We send it back and ask for what the menu says. To our utter disbelief the chef punishes us by sending out tawa toasted white bread with sauteed garlic pieces between them. The bar was always teir weak point. But this time we had Bloody Mary minus the vodka and plus tomato ketchup in it.. Screwdriver was made in mixed fruit juice. And despite the elaborate affair of desserts in the menu, only gulab jamun was available. It a pity that joints in Shimla fail to maintain a standard and try to retain customers..I dont think i'll be going back there soon.
