Bangalore - For dinner we decided to stay in the hotel and experience a theme restaurant which was highly recommended. "Gufha" means cave in Hindi and as the name suggests, is done up like a cave, with stone-like walls and ceiling, dim lighting, flame. It was an experience to feel the 'cavey' feeling and it's like being transported to some faraway exotic cultures. There is even a waterfall that flows over a carved face, and stuffed bird toys hang from the ceiling. The waiters are dressed like jungle guides with khaki uniforms, safari hats and guns and the tableware is brass.
This restaurant provides Indian North West Frontier province cuisine. , coupled with gracious hospitality. The entire interiors go along with the gufa theme with tiger print upholstery, elephant shaped tissue holders. The cutlery and glasses are so unique and made of copper, this added to the rustic environment. The restaurant made it so realistic with the sound of the jungle and loud cicardas. We had a huge menu cards to choose our food from, we had lamb ghost with rotis, and some tandoori chicken as appetizers.We ordered "lamb gosht" but the waiters brought out "Chicken Gosht" -we ate a couple of slices and definitely knew that it was not lamb - called the waiter and he had to move the meat chucks about in the gosht to see whether it was lamb or chicken. I told him to bring it back to the chef to verify - he came back and apologize for the mistake. Very quickly a new bowl of "Lamb Gosht" appeared. The "lamb gosht" was tender slices of lamb in a thick creamy gravy with a hint of saffron, was delicious, but very heavy. This goes very well with Nann. Cost about S$61 for 2 persons.
