Walk into F9, and you'll be greeted with a very cool, soothing and stylish ambiance. The place is very spacious and well decorated with very simple yet sophisticated furnishings.
The lounge area looks especially very comfortable.
The menu consists a melange of cuisines from all over the world. One can select from Tandoori, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Swizz, Chinese, Arabic, Iranian, Thai and Indian Cuisine.
They have an interesting list of soups out of which I have tried the Almond soup which was passable and the Mushroom Cappuccino which was good.
The Tandoori Broccoli with cheese is one of its best dishes, and a must try even for the non-broccoli lovers. Broccoli Florets are Sprinkled with Tandoori Masala and grilled to perfection. But what makes it irresistible is the generous helping of cheese poured over the broccoli.
The Potato Skins are also baked to perfection, stuffed with salsa and topped with black olives.
The Iranian Joojeh Kebabs are succulent dumplings of chicken. They are equivalent of Malai Kebabs. They are creamy, mildly spiced melt in the mouth Chicken kebabs.
Moving to the Main Course, the Mushroom Ravioli was as good as pasta can get. Al dente ravioli ,with herbed mushrooms and a creamy cheese sauce... one could not ask for better combination.
The Potato Gnocchi was not as I expected. The Gnocchi was slightly hard and a raw taste and the pink sauce was too tangy for my taste.
The Triple Mushroom Risotto was just creamy enough with well cooked and flavorful mushrooms.
Their Thin Crust Pizzas are also a must try especially the 4 Cheese pizza.
F9 has options of North Indian Platters where you get a gravy of your choice, with a portion of Dal Makhani and Breads. The Paneer and Dal was good, but I would not order North Indian again unless I was there with my North Indian loving Father! Though I did enjoy the spicy Malabar Biriyani.
F9 has some very interesting Dessert choices and I tried the Cream Caramel Custard which was passable, German Chocolate which was very good, but the Tiramisu stole the show. I have had Tiramisu at quite a few Italian restaurants, but this was the best I have ever had. It is served in a martini glass, which bits of lady's fingers soaked in coffee... and a very very generous serving of fluffy, slightly sweetened and flavored Mascarpone cheese. It is truly a "Make me Happy" dessert!
The service at F9 is generally good and the staff very friendly and accommodating.
The bar is another plus, though you may occasionally have to put up with the noises from the bar.
A meal for 2 would cost between 1000 - 1200 (Without Alcohol) and is totally worth every penny.
It is ideal for both Lunch and Dinner.
It is totally on my 'Do Recommend' list!
