Hunters: Get Your Gear On!

Hunters Restaurant Review

Hunters is located on the first floor of the aptly named GudFud Tower in Panampilly Nagar, above Donut Factory. They have rather interesting continental dishes and seem to be fine dining inspired to a degree. 

You may notice in the picture, this is the same building that also houses Primate, a 'raw food' restaurant from where we had our dessert (review coming soon)!

It had good seating capacity and was well lit. Large glass windows provide a view outside while you enjoy your meal. 

Hot and Sour Chicken Soup

We started off with a complimentary soup, we opted for chicken. 

It was a typical hot and sour soup, with adequate pieces of chicken and a nice, soothing flavor just like a good soup should be.

Chicken Steak with Mushroom Cheese

This saw succulent chicken fillets slathered with a nice mushroom and cream sauce: one of the best combinations to be had. 

It ticked the right boxes, though we felt that the mushroom flavour could have been a bit stronger but nothing wrong the way it was. Accompanied by a side of vegetables [carrot, broccoli, beans etc.] and French Fries, which we must say were perfectly made being crisp on the outside with a fluffy interior.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Reading the menu, this sounded very interesting so we decided to grab a plate. If you believe in first impressions [we try to be as objective as possible so thats not us!], you may not be too happy to receive what we got. 

Lets be honest, there are places that charge a bit but give a lot too but at Rs 290/-, this dish did not seem too expensive at first. That is, until we were served and realized each mushroom had a net worth just a little shy of Rs 100/-. We received a plate with some vegetables [julienned cabbage and carrot] and a small wedge of lime with a minuscule quantity of something hiding under the sauce. We got three, [yes: 3, t-h-r-e-e] mushrooms. Not big ones either, they were regular sized button mushrooms.  That made it seem outrageously overpriced, especially considering that the other dish had a very reasonable quantity for the price.

HOWEVER, and this is where we hold up to our promise of being objective; the dish itself tasted wonderful...! The creamy white sauce complemented the earthy flavor of the stuffed mushroom which was soft and cooked perfectly. The multitude of flavors was really a joy. To sum it up, this dish tastes great and has potential but regardless of everything, it is still outrageously overpriced in terms of quantity. 

We enjoyed the food here, with some dishes that were well made and plenty of variety to stay interesting. Throughout the meal, we could get a whiff of biryani etc. which also smelled really good. We would like to try this place again sometime, especially to try the Indian fare but likely not very soon. We hope they can fix the pricing of the said dish, that would keep them in good stead. As always, stay tuned for updates!
