An Evening at Hari Vilas, a brand new pure vegetarian restaurant in Udaipur

When a seasoned entrepreneur starts a new venture, he always makes sure the basics of conducting any business is well set in place. The moment you step in the newly opened restaurant, Hari Vilas, situated at third floor in Lake City Mall, the first expression will definitely be going to be an adjective to appreciate the beautifully decorated interior. The wonderful paintings, the decor, the simple yet classy seating arrangements bear all the signs of a mastermind behind the setup. 

Recently I was invited for a pre-launch get together by the owners, Santosh Kalra ji and Pradeep Kalra ji who are one of the well-known and admired business personalities in the city. The humble nature of the owners, as well as the staffs who are trained to follow the signature hospitality style of the owner, are going to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in their restaurant. 

They have recruited well-experienced people to run the show both at the front and back at the kitchen. Chef Prashant Diwedi is in charge of the kitchen team who has a vast experience and worked with many famous properties in his career.

The menu is set in such a way that a dinner for two in this classy place won't cost you more than 600 for a three-course meal. It is an entirely vegetarian restaurant and does not serve alcohol. While discussing with the Kalra brothers, we got to know about their vision behind setting up this affordable menu. At Hari Vilas, they want people to come and enjoy good tasty food with the entire family at a beautiful restaurant environment without digging a hole in the pocket. 

We tasted some popular local dishes which are there on the menu, like Paneer Chillis, Hara Bhara Kabab, Chilli Cheese Stuffed Samosa and a couple of mocktails such as Mojito, Pina Colada.

The food was tasty and perfectly in balance regarding flavour. I'm sure people will love the taste. The quantities of food are also excellent and a real value for money from a family dining point of view. The kitchen team is well versed with the local taste. And I'm sure they are going to serve luscious dishes available on the menu. 

The drinks were good, and the mocktails were blended well for a smooth yet dulcified in taste. 

The restaurant is all set to open its doors today, on 27th July. My sincere wishes to them and the family and especially to Divya Motwani ji for her wonderful hospitality!

There may be some glitches experienced in service in the first few weeks, but still, I think anybody looking to go out for dinner with the entire family including their beloved old man and old lady should visit this restaurant, Hari Vilas, for a pleasant dining experience.
