The Farm- OMR

I was at the farm sometime ago!!! And then I got all busy and like some might have noted, I disappeared to another country!!!! I soon plan to have an International Food Blog as well, but, thats for later.

Now I do not remember all the individual dishes I ate there, HOWEVER, I very well remember that we had a WONDERFUL time. Its a great place to go either as a group or, like quite a few people seemed to have noticed, to take your date (provided both are willing to eat well).

The tour of the farm was nice. The first lake was nice to sit by and the second one (with no water in it) exited a film maker in our gang! You can take your cricket bat there or badminton or anything of your choice, play n sweat it out, work up the appetite and get back to eat. The place is open from 5 PM to 11 PM. So to make the most of it, head in early.

Hospitality is unbelievable. The whole experience is like going to some kind of a wedding and being attended to personally! You can eat your first course, walk around the place, work up some more appetite, get back to pizzas, walk some more......you get the picture, don't you?

Personally I liked a few dishes specifically, esp the two chicken starters, they were brilliant. The beer chicken was somehow not to my taste and the sheek kebab was alright. The garlic breads are fresh out of the oven and are wonderful. The potatoes were awesome too! The pizzas, depend on how well you decided to spoil them. Follow the instructions of the guy at the oven, and your pizza will turn out to be great! But we also deviated from the instructions, and one pizza turned out to be KICK ASS, while another turned out like something that is not really pizza!!!! But thats the fun part of this whole experimenting, your price includes the pizzas that don't turn out to be good, so the real chef in you springs up!!!

The curd that he served, apparently home made from buffalo's milk, is among the best curds I have had in my life!!!

I feel, you could add a dessert or two to the menu, but I presume the menu keeps changing, so may be the next time, I might find more!

At 500 per head, there is no question of Value for Money!!!!!! Its more value than most places on earth!!!!

The Farm is located on the OMR, near the Shell Petrol Pump. You need to make a reservation to be able to spend a wonderful evening there!

  2. This one is the worst that have ever been in my life. Food is tasteless. They don't have any idea how to barbeque meshrooms! All that you get is fishy smelling uncooked mushrooms, brinjal barbequed! and raw paneer. Chicken is no half grilled and never tasted pork chops. the only good stuff to eat is parantha and curds. Obiviously, you cant pay 500/- per person just to eat parathas. So called rice was thick and cold with tasteless dal. Jeera rice hardly had any jeera.

    Never imagined that a really small sized tender coconut will cost 20/-!!! and watery sweet lassi with coriander costs 40/-. Hated the food like anything.

    So called swimming pool is just a plastic bath tub! and you can walk in this. WAnted t o alert all you people going to the farm as its just a waste of money.Avoid at all costs.

    I am shocked to hear this. At the Chennai Food Guide community in Orkut, we have about 35 reviews about this place and each one of them praise it. Looks like they have had a bad day. When I went, it was a wonderful experience.

  4. Have been to The Farm a few times, with family, friends and by far one of the best place to be at if you want to unwind. The Food was excellent and the warm hospitality that we got from the Host was amazing.

    @shipra - Lady you really have your taste buds damaged beyond repair or you have no clue about BBQ and Grill food.

    This place is fantastic and would rather go there than going to some high priced resorts and have my money wasted

    Well just my opinion!

    Cheers :)

  5. As soon as we entered the place had no one to guide us.
    The manager rudely showed us signs thinking that she guided us
    And then when we sat down to eat, it was even more disastrous.
    THE FOOD IS NOT WORTH COMMENTING ON

    As if the terrible food was not enough , the manager had to throw her attitude trying to rush us out while we were still struggling to finish the piece of **** that they cooked
