5 Star Deluxe!
What came to mind? Hotels? If yes, you guessed right. 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star and 5 star are the more popular ratings we have heard for various hotels.
You have heard 7 star too? Well, such a rating does not really exist. It is just a self-promotion gimmick it seems. Though there is one another level above 5 star - it is called 5 star deluxe.
Today we had a team lunch, organized by the Company, at such a 5 star deluxe restaurant located pretty close to our office. The hotel itself was very posh - the ambience, the decor, the furniture, the staff, everything superb, until we got to the food. The variety of food that was placed for the buffet lunch was humongous. From soups to 10-15 types of salads, a big spread of starters, main courses, and desserts. I was very impressed by the spread. But most of the food was not flavorful. It seemed as though it was prepared for the Western palate. The food was Indian but tasted far from Indian.
I had wanted to take my family to this place one day, not anymore. It would really be a waste of around ₹ 2,000/- per head.
5 star for the ambience, 5 star for the variety of the food, and 1 star for the taste of the food.
