(Part 2)
At this point, we were bursting at the seams but couldn't leave without dessert. As we were informed that their ice cream machine was broken and had sold out of their ice cream/kulfi/sorbet options, we were limited to half of the dessert menu. Debating between the:
AAM PHIRNI CANNOLI 15
Compressed Mango, Sweet Rice Mousse, Ghee
or
JALEBI CHURROS 15
Lauki Panna Cotta, Jalebi Taco, Nuts
or
CASHEW MILK CAKE 16
Toffee Sauce, Butter Crumble, White Chocolate
I was scared away from the super sweet diabetic coma jalebis of my youth even though the churro part sounded lovely so steered clear of that after carefully placed questions from our lovely server. Due to the aforementioned seam bursting, we went with one dessert and in deference to Ms. Italiana, it was the Aam Phirni Cannoli. It came out in two long cigars; large enough to cut into 6 portions; beautifully presented and decorated with edible flowers. Not too sweet though they had drizzled some of that dreaded honey syrup jalebi-esque on top, it was with a light hand. Perfect ending to the meal!
SERVICE-
Excellent, 10/10. Skylar, our barely 21yo baby-faced water boy (his job description is in his words not mine) gave excellent recommendations, dish descriptions when delivering the food, and general merriment/enjoyment at serving us. Rody, our primary server, was also friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and lovely. She also yellow highlighted on every ticket, the original bill and then all 4 of the individual payment card receipts, that the 20% gratuity was already included. Nice touch!
FINAL PRICE-
$380 (rounding up by pennies), including tax & 20% gratuity. Divided by 6, this was $63pp. Considering we were all *stuffed* and appropriately, responsibly, slightly buzzed (NOT Justin Timberlake style, TG!).. this felt like a good deal in Seattle today.
