We've been hearing so much about Hajji Ali and their out of this world Fruit Creams and Falooda that we just had to try it.We chose the wrong day though,full to the nose from a delectable sizzler dinner at Tangerine,we have no idea why we went to Hajji Ali,but we had to!
We chose the G.N.Chetty outlet,and plonked ourselves at ground floor which was empty,all the crowd(we were told) was on the first floor enjoying the view.We decided to go for falooda,but oh boy we were confused.There were more than 6-7 varieties of falooda!!Between 6 of us,we chose to have Fruit Falooda(a must try)which was truly awesome with fruits like Lychee,Kiwi fruit,Strawberry along with regular fruits like apple and banana with ice cream,khus khus and semiya.
Strawberry Falooda was a twist to the regular falooda with sliced Strawberry and strawberry ice-cream.The rose flavored milk was delicious.
Kesar Royal Milk shake was one of their signature drinks and it was truly royal.It was too sweet for our palates,but maybe we would have enjoyed it if we weren't that full from our dinner.It had thick saffron milk with kesar ice-cream and pista and almonds.
The first thing which strikes you is the portion.Move away thin falooda glasses,here is the real deal.It is quite filling on its own,so maybe someday we'll skip our meals and head straight to Hajji Ali!They also serve short eats like Pizza,Sandwich etc.Prices hover around the 100rs mark but totally worth every penny.
Food - 9/10
Service - 9/10
Ambience - 8/10

ReplyDeleteHey Divya! Stumbled on your blog a few months ago and ever since been a huge fan. Visit it often, especially to get inspiration. You’re doing a wonderful job! Clap! Clap! Presentation is perfect accompanied by slick, delicious pix. As for the recipes you post … awesome would only be a mild word . Only a small hitch … wonder if you could do something about the wall paper like background that loads when you open into the blog? It kinda takes very long … wonder if other ppl are facing the same prob?
