Beguiling Blooms at Eros Hotel, New Delhi, India

The Eros Hotel at Nehru Place, New Delhi was a charming place to visit, its location being a stone's throw away from the best shopping areas was a treat. We shopped till we dropped at Greater Kailash, South Extension and Kalkaji Markets, then relaxed at the 24-hour Blooms Buffet Restaurant.

After a delicious ice lemon tea and sweet lime soda we enjoyed the delicious soups and starters.

Krish met Chef Deepak upon our arrival and he prepared a tasty mango, avocado, green salad along with a zesty lemon juice/olive oil salad dressing and a freshly made mushroom soup avoiding all Krish's allergens.

A cool dip in the pool was followed by a delectable dinner in the comfort of our room; firstly a delicate cheese/cracker platter, then a scrumptious braised lamb with mash and grilled vegetables was served, along with a creamy chocolate mousse and fresh fruit parfait for dessert. Krish was in 7th heaven!! Chef Deepak had certainly impressed us with his culinary skills and managed to tantalise our son's tastebuds with utmost care and perfection.

The next day Krish also enjoyed a crispy kulcha and shepherds pie made with special ingredients and lots of love by Chef Swimmy and Chef Deepak.

We wish Krish could have enjoyed the pancakes at breakfast in the morning..... not sure what happened but he developed an allergic reaction and needed to take his medication immediately after one bite of the pancake; he broke out in hives, his lips started swelling and he had painful abdominal cramps; he was in severe discomfort for the entire morning till mid-afternoon. This could have been avoided if more care was taken whilst preparing his breakfast.

Please be careful with traces of egg in the pans whist preparing food for people with food allergy. Although the pancakes may not contain egg there could be traces of other allergens in the cooking utensils, mixing bowls and spoons. These all need to be sterilized and washed several times or it would be better to keep separate pans for people with egg and nut allergy. Also, note packaged food ingredients cannot be used for people with food allergies since there are traces of many allergens during manufacturing the product, ie nuts. Please use fresh ingredients only!


Thanks very much to the staff and Blooms Restaurant Chefs for our pleasant stay and enjoyable dishes!
