Visiting Monal DownTown for the first time

I have been enviously looking onto Monal Downtown since long because everyone around me had been posting stories and pictures of Monal Downtown, be it of Centaurus or Saddar branch! 

I'm glad I finally tried it- thanks to bunch of the friends I have in university. Though Monal is far-off from my home but I had to give it a try!

When I entered the restaurant, I didn't know from where to enter from (lol, I do act dumb at times), but my friends who had arrived before me guided me or else I would have embarrassed myself- no doubt on that.

The first thing that attracts me when I enter a restaurant or a home for the first time is obviously the interior, and there are very few buildings that have left me in awe. Monal Downtown, Saddar was one of them.

So, the floor of Monal was the chess pattern- yeah that balck and white cheque boxes and I found it cool 😌. There were few plants, not the artificial ones, used to decorate the restaurant and a wooden carving wall piece grabbed my attention! I forgot to take the picture, I'm sorry πŸ˜’. Hey, but I have this picture of thier roof xD

Oh, and I have a picture this plant too which was placed at the entranceπŸ˜€

Let's come to the food now. All four of us ordered Italian Platters which had Spicy Fettucine, Sole Medditerranean Fish, Morrocan Chicken, Beef Stake and Brownie. Ain't this enough for one person? But what if I tell you that more than enough if you are not a fan of meat, like me? πŸ˜’
All of this in one plate, at a time does sound awesome, no?
Since, I am a huge pasta fan so I ate it in first few minutes and loved it. It had all the sauces, fully balanced and I wanted more of it πŸ˜›.
Morrocan Chicken was no less in taste, because it was tendered well and juicy. I enjoyed every bite of the chicken piece.
It was the first beef stake that I tried, and it wasn't a bad experience though. Beef was cooked well and all of the spices were in accurate quantity. It was a bit hard but that's how a beef is, no?
Coming to the Mediterranean Fish, I didn't like it at all. I usually love fish that's home-made. But, this fish was of no match to the one my mom fries. I guess this was the reason I didn't enjoy it and had to pack it and bring home.

Serving the platter with a piece of brownie loaded with chocolate sauce was not a bad idea. It took me a while to finish it, probably because I was full but my friends love brownies and they appreciated the taste. It was all soft and moist, the chocolate sauce was definitely cherry on the cake.
This go-ey-ness might drive you crazy

You'd be surprised to know that it costed me only 760 PKR including taxes. I leave it on you guys to decide if it is economical or not.
