Mixed reviews about Miller's all over the Internet always gave me second thoughts about the place. And, I don't usually start off by a judgement, but Let's just address the elephant in the room. I had a great time at Miller's on my recent visit, Period. People need to understand that different people will always have different opinions, ideas and experiences and that's okay, we just need to respect all of them.
Fairly one of the most talked about place in the recent days, This cute little place stands at Mill's, Sagamwadi behind Hotel Shertaon Grand along with other big names in the industry like Botanica, Tathya, Cinco, Baobab and 2BHK. A Restaurant that is solely made to provide you a place where you belong has put a lot efforts right from its ambiance to make it look like a home or a place where you feel happy and free. The Place houses funky paintings, a high ceiling, a bar and very comfortable sitting arrangements for the same. As I said despite of all the mixed reviews Millers Homebar & Kitchen is fairly one of the most talked about and that has always wanted to me check it out but I could never do the same for some reasons until I recently got invited for a Blogger's Table and given below is a list of some of the amazing dishes that I got to try my hands on:-
MOCKTAILS:-
By The Bay (150 INR):- This was a perfect blend of Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice, Cranberry Juice Lime Juice, Passionfruit syrup with some mint leaves in it.
Smoked Ale (150 INR):- Smoked Ale is a blend of Yuze Puree, Rosemary, Orange Juice, Lime Juice, and Ginger Ale and lives up to its smoky name and the flavours of Classic Ginger Ale. If you like Ginger Ale like me, I'm sure you're gonna like this.
Mint Mojito (150 INR):- I sometimes feel I don't need anything else if you could just give me a glass of Mojito. I'm like - "If life throws lemons at you, give them to the bartender and ask him to make you a Mojito". I've had Mojitos at almost a countless number of places til now and I've realized that I love my Mojitos mildly sweet. Although this one here was just another classic Mojito that you'll get anywhere else, I'd have loved it a little less on the sweeter side.
STARTERS (VEG):-
Lotus Stem Honey Chilli (265 INR):- Well, This one lives up to my expectations of the sweet and crispy deliciousness. Lotus Stem at Millers are available with your choice of Honey Chili, Hot Garlic or Chili Basic Sauce.
House Nachos Bowl (375 INR):- Omg! This was so cute. As in the name this was literally a bowl of nachos only if the Nachos itself was a size of a bowl. It comes with an overloaded topping of Salsa, Cheese Sauce and Guacamole.
Zaitooni Paneer Tikka (375 INR):- The marination does the magic to the entire recipe. A free advice is to not miss the sauce that comes with the dish.
STARTERS (NON-VEG):-
Murugan Kebab:- Served in a brass mug with smoke all around, this dish is a total showoff. But As dramatic as the presentation maybe, I loved it to the last bite. Pefrectly cooked chunks of chicken were perfectly cooked and nicely done with the spices.
Classic Buffalo Wings: (395 INR):- Served with Carrot sticks, Chicken wings were so well cooked with Classic Buffalo Sauce.
Mutton Kosha (575 INR):- There are no special ingredients to making a good mutton kosha. All it takes is patience. And, The tenderness of this one at Millers proves its versatility. Cooked in heavenly spices this is totally gonna make you lick your fingers.
Paprika Parmesan Vodka Prawns (595 INR):- Okay don't worry, I'm not gonna write a whole paragraph again about how much I love Prawns but just tell me one thing,Was my love for Prawns not enough already that they decided to cook them in a cheesy sauce infused with Vodka and served it with Garlic Breads? I mean whaaaaaaaaaat?
FLATBREADS:-
Mediterranean Veg (395 INR):- Loaded with with exotic veggies and olives on top of a thin bread, Millers is game with their Flatbreads.
MAINS (ORIENTAL):-
Khao Suey (Veg) (415 INR):- Khao Suey always helps me getting one gorgeous frame. This one was Veg Khao Suey and it featured layers of Noodles along with a curry made with coconut milk and had caramalized onions, green chilli and many other condiments on the sides.
MAINS (INDIAN):-
Subz Ka Muzaffar Combo Meal (364 INR):- I'm in love with the thought of the quantity they have for their combo meal is so well thought. I mean One Combo Meal is definitely gonna fill you. And this one came with a large portion of Veg Curry, Papad, Salad and your choice of Roti/Naan Or Steamed/Jeera Rice.
Butter Chicken Combo Meal (445 INR):- Just like The Veg Meal, The Butter Chicken Version of the meal also comes with a large portion of Butter Chicken Gravy, Papad, Salad and your choice of Roti/Naan Or Steamed/Jeera Rice.
DESSERTS:-
Baked Cheesecake (295 INR):- Hands down this is the best cheesecake I've ever had. The trick is not overbake as your cheesecake will be crumbly in texture. I'm sure this is gonna bring class to every table. Please don't forget to order one at yours next time you're there.
Chocolate Cigars with Vanilla Ice-cream (295 INR):- I still remember the jaws that dropped to awe when this one came to the table. Rolls filled with chocolate? I mean do I even need to say anything more? And, The Tales ends not here, The Vanilla Ice-Cream goes perfectly well with the Cigar rolls. I mean the combination is so perfect that I just wanna say whoever has made the recipe can contact me for matchmaking 'Cause I believe that you'll find my perfect one too.
I must say Millers is worth all the talking. It is a gorgeous place to be at and once beautiful experience to encounter with. I'd say before you take decisions based on opinons on social media, give yourself a try.
