| Pork Chop with Butter Rice |
I heard about this small little
quaint place called Rubi's Grill from a friend of mine and decided to try out
some of their food, having received nothing but good reviews about it. The
place is very small, yet has a warm and cozy ambiance. It has both indoor and
outdoor seating arrangements. On a cool winter evening, it would be pleasant to
sit outside and have a nice meal. Charpoys at the entrance to welcome a smoking
crowd, mix of lounging rattan chairs and tables of fours, good enough for
soul-satisfying pig-outs. The cute niche featuring Salman Rushdie's Midnight's
Children, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code alongside Anton Chekov's Five Plays and the
directly hooked online music add to the curiosity. The menu is a humongous 6
page menu with everything American you can find under one roof- from salads
with a choice of your own toppings, finger foods, sandwiches, burgers, classic
hot dogs, pizzas and pastas to a wide array of gourmet dishes.

We ordered Onion rings and a plate
of Potato skin with Bacon for starters. Nothing can really go wrong with Onion
rings- they were crispy, not too oily and not soggy. They had a good bite to
it! The Potato Skins were excellent! Skins, with crispy fried bacon, topped
with gooey cheese and some Oregano for flavour- baked to perfection. They were
an absolute delight and MUST try! For the entree, we ordered a portion of the
Spare Ribs with their authentic, home-made BBQ sauce and a portion of the Pork
Chop with butter rice. Oh that marvelous dish of Spare Ribs was beyond anything
that I had imagined. The pork ribs, slightly charred on the outside and tender,
juicy, yet moist on the inside. The BBQ sauce was sweet and spicy which added
that tangy flavor to the dish! One little flaw would be, the pieces had chunks
of fat in it and one feels sick if one ends up eating that much of fat. A less
of that fat and the dish can do wonders for meat lovers’ taste buds! The Pork
Chop had a very good flavor because of the Rosemary they added and the sauce
which accompanied it. The Pork was tender, juicy, all the flavors had seeped
right through- all in all, a good dish. Again, too much fat for one to consume.
A little less of that would be great! All meats came with wedges, mash or
vegetables on the side, just as it should. The Lamb Steak, chunky and moist, as
it should be, would have been better with a thinner sauce though.

Service, I must add is slightly slow
or rather laid back. That isn’t much of a problem if you want to have long
conversations with friends enjoying some great food in a warm and cozy place
like this one! The approximate cost of a complete meal for 2 persons is
Rs. 550.
Rubi's Grill has been a good
experience for me and I would recommend everyone to try it atleast once. For
people who shudder at the thought of eating pork, this is the place you must
try your first piece and you will not be disappointed, for sure! One must not
go by the decor, design, location of this place- it’s the food that matters in
the end and Rubi's Grill is a pretty decent example of that!
