  3.5/5Barbecued – By The Orchard is the first barbecue restaurant serving only vegetarian dishes, located in Sadashivnagar.Ambiance:-When people say roof top ambiance, I always thought that it’s open terrace. But apparently, that’s not the case here and there was literally a roof on top. We were told that it was due to weather conditions and a predictable rain.-Valet parking is available.-There is a little waiting area right outside the restaurant.-Well lit and beautiful ambiance with funny one liners and cartoons over the walls, instrumental version of old Hindi songs playing in the background, comfortable seating, but less space between tables making it difficult for people to walk around.Service:-We had made reservations on call before reaching the restaurant, but still ended up waiting 20 minutes for a table. Accompanying us in the same situation was an angry couple with a kid, who waited for 45 minutes! They just look confused and run around when confronted :D-After getting a table, there were mostly no problems except getting waiter’s attention for salt/pepper. Limited vegetarian starters, main dishes are served at the table and self service for salad and desserts.Food:We chose buffet over a la carte-Hot vegetable soup: Perfect for chilly weather and hit taste buds perfectly:)-Aamras: Not too sweet, not too cold. Quenched my thirst.-Pani puri: Aloo smash was plain and ridiculous without any masalas or chopped onions/coriander leaves. On the other hand, spicy pani saved the day.-Dahi chat: Hated it; couldn’t have more than one.-Starters: Included smoked veggies like capsicum, pineapples, paneer, baby potatoes, tomatoes, corn, zucchinis..etc –> Same old options available for vegetarians:) These tasted okayish due to the below average tasting sauce used but potato was an exception.-Main: Roti/Kulcha with Dal and vegetable gravy was very tasty and filling. Rice items were not bad.-Desserts: Everything we tried were mostly delicious, especially cashew barfi and a mango kheer like dessert.Conclusion:-Worth a visit for vegetarians who like barbecue food at a pretty reasonable price.-Management here should treat their customers right by not blindly giving away reservations.-Table service isn’t necessary for rice items. We hardly had 2 spoons of rice from what was kept on our table, thus wastage. My friend suggested them the same, hope they take it seriously.Food: 3.5/5Service: 3/5Ambiance: 4/5QFM: 3.5/5
