A serene place in the heart of Chennai 's chaos and confusion: pollution and traffic. It is where you can unwind after a tiring day at work and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere which will rekindle the romantic person in you. Yes I am talking about Kefi Restaurant in Taj Club house. Located on Mount Road near the Spencer signal which has the maximum traffic any day.
Kefi , is a rooftop Mediterranean restaurant serving cuisine from Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco
and Lebanon.
It is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner with your wife or more perfect if you are going to propose to your girl friend.
The dinner started off, with Musk Melon and Parsley with chocolate balsamic vinegar dressing. We were given to understand that the dish is called Amuse Bouche and is usually given to buy time for the kitchen to make the orders. It was a different blend of flavors, mildly sweet from musk melon, parsley, sweet & sour taste of chocolate balsamic vinegar. The presentation was picture perfect.

Cassis
Reduced Melon with mint tabouleh
Two types of bread were served along with pickled olives. Breads were soft, but the dips were dominated by garlic flavor.
Mezze Sampler

Falafel
Deep Fried Chick pea
Of the four my favorite was Spanakopita, the blend of Spinach
with cheese was just perfect. The pastry on top was neither too
crispy nor too soft. Falafel was again a hit, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

A visual treat, to me. Plating was done with yellow zucchini and drumstick. The Chicken was stuffed with corn and color capsicum
Dessert Sampler
Almond Cake
Baklava
Oreo Chocolate Pie
Figs and Fruits
I loved every-bit of the dessert sampler. Each piece had a distinct and unique flavor. Figs with a fruit cocktail on it, baklava, flaky and not too sweet, something for the chocolate tooth in me. Mildly flavored Almond cake. The tastes seems to have a balance amongst them.
Drinks to Quench your thirst
Virgin Lime Mojito
Carrot Basil Vodka
Cucumber Mint Vodka
The in between drinks that we had, was vegetable cocktails and mocktail I loved the blend of virgin lime mojito. It was very much the way I like it, that I ordered a second glass of the same.
The ambiance of the place, is extra ordinary, and the service is very courteous. The various lamps that they have used to decorate the place is unique and attractive too.
Will I go back ? Definitely YES.
