Description:

Gallops is a restaurant inside Mahalaxmi Race Course. It has the feel of a British game and country restaurant. It is spacious, has a tall ceiling, and a well stocked bar. Atleast the menu lists a good selection of scotches and other liquors.

They have a reputation for good continental food. However, i have had mixed results. The canneloni was really good. Chicken shashlik skewers were pretty good. The chicken risotto wasn't great, had too much chicken, too much basil, and too much cheese, and not enough rice. Had a roast lamb in a wine/pepper sauce on a previous visit which was a stringy and not fun.

Their indian food is worth a shot too, the chicken kebabs are pretty good, and am told the biryanis are excellent.

The desserts sound great. Just had the plum pudding, and it was warm, soft, and not too sweet.

The restaurant is always full, even weekdays, so make reservations before going. Good place for a bunch of friends to go for a nice dinner or even for a date.
