I had visited this restaurant a few weeks back but the post never got published because my grandpa fell sick and he is no longer with us. He was a fearless man who lived life his style without a hint of worry of what others thought. He always had stories of his times in the British Raj and he believed that our government and civic system is strong and helpful. He loved his evening tea and his stroll in the market nearby where he would chat up everyone he met.
Saluting his spirit I am back to what I love doing. I know he must be narrating his stories wherever he is blessing us in every way.

Nestled in L-Block Connaught Place, New Delhi is a sprawling restaurant called
Ambrosia Bliss. It boasts of two garden terraces, a dining area, a bar and even a conference area. There is a reception with a nice lighting done in the backdrop.
The seating is comfortable and when I visited one of the garden terraces had a private party going on. The area was large enough to seat atleast 20 adults. I chose an area close to the huge glass windows where I could enjoy my meal under the sun but without the extremely cold breeze blowing outside.

The post now follows with a large set of pictures of the food I tried out. I started off with two mocktails and a chocolate shake. If you enjoy ginger based drinks then do try out the
Winter Splinter mocktail (seen on the extreme right) with cloves, ginger and mint to intoxicate you.
If you like more fruity drink (like me!) you should not miss their Twist@Bliss containing strawberry, raspberry, lime juice and orange chunk. The chocolate shake however was just ok, nothing as great as the other two drinks.

Soups
For soups I tried out the charred tomato basil soup which was quite appetising. I really liked the charred flavour. Another soup that was quite good was the Chilli & Shitake broth with a generous serving of prawns in it.

Salads
For salads you cannot go wrong with the traditional caesar salad, fresh lettuce, olives, baby tomatoes, croutons and a generous shaving of cheese and herbs made it perfect for the palate.

Appetizer Platters
Ambrosia Bliss serves four different kinds of platters. There is a
Mezze platter with yummy hummus,
Baba ghanoush, lebneh, and pickled veggies along with pita and falafel.

Another vegetarian option is the Internation Vegetarian Platter - Tex Mex Nachos, garlic bread, Philadelphia cheese rolls and mushroom nuggets. The best in this platter were the cheese rolls. The garlic bread was good too but I would prefer a pinch more of seasoning. The serving size is quite nice and if 3 people share this platter then its more than enough as an appetiser.

There are non-vegetarian options available which I did not taste. But I did try a bit of the Indian platter which contains huge cubes of cottage cheese which has layers of seasoning inside, dahi kebabs which will melt in your mouth, haha bhara kebabs and mushroom galouti (its a tikka made of mushroom paste that sits atop a light and fluffy patty.
