ID Restaurant- Sathyam Cinemas- A Classy Entertainment

After an interesting movie, we decided to enter into ID, the most famed ID restaurant at Sathyam Cinemas. The ambience was clean and neat with good lighting and seating. We entered and there was a live kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. The kitchen was well kempt and not cluttered or messy. One was immediately attended to and made comfortable. They always wait around you and fill your plate or glass when needed.


The Menu card was very simple and easy to read in the form of a Book Mark. The front side gave the menu and the back side the prices. I loved the way the Menu was presented. The orders were taken immediately and the Kitchen looked busy inspite of the crowd being less. The staff were constantly on their toes and ensured that no customer was made to wait for a long time.


We werent that hungry and we decided to go for a dish each. Our order was Rava Idli and Aappam with Ulli Theeyal. While we waited for the food, we were checking out the ambience. There were small focus lights that were throwing light on the plate kept. It made me all the more hungry and was waiting for the food.


The first to come was the Rava Idly (though after a reminder) with accompaniments of Corriander Chutney, Coconut Chutney and Onion Chutney. The Idly was quite filling and tasty. The veggies on top were cooked to perfection and the Chutneys were a 10 on the taste. The focus light on the plate made food all the more interesting.




Then came the Aappam. The aappam was a little cold but i was looking forward I was given four options of Vegetable Stew,Vada curry, Vegetable Kurma and Ulli Theeyal for the accompaniment. I opted for the Ulli Theeyal as I hadnt tasted it before and I thought I might have made a wrong decision going with it. But when it actually arrived, it was no looking back. The Aappam was tasty and the Ulli Theeyal was a perfect balance of taste and flavor. I finished it till the lost drop of it and was left wanting more.

We wanted to try more dishes but left the place due to lack of time. The place is not very elderly friendly or accessible for a challenged person. Sathyam Theater has a lot of issues to be addressed on this front but they do have a wheelchair availability and they have assured the cooperation and help of their staff with the wheelchair as well.

Other than this I would definitely want to go back to ID for a proper meal again.
