Had heard so much about The Good Wife, BKC! So finally when I got the chance to visit this place, was really excited! Located in the heart of the business district, one can find The Good Wife inside the Capital, BKC.
The place is surrounded by plenty of other restaurants, so people have lot of options to choose from, but with the awesome food and fantastic ambience TGW offers, it stands apart from any other place! From the name, one would feel that it would classic place only for dates, but that's not the case.
Heading to what we ordered - we began with thr appetizers - The Good Wife Ceaser Salad! Nice! Salad lovers should go for this. It has Garlic croutons topped with parmesan cheese.
Next we tried the chef Special - Forest Mushroom Filo Wontons with Feta Cheese dip. Awesome dish especially for those who can manage wild mushrooms which have a very strong flavour. Very different from button mushrooms that we are used to having.
Next we tried the Corn and Jalapeno Sliders. Super nice, recommended! Baby buns, so easy to have and not messy unlike the regular burgers that you get. Corn and Jalapeno patty tastes yum!
After this, we ordered Smoked Scarmoza Tostadas - Mexican preparation Refried Beans, Salsa and Sour Cream on tortillas. Fantastic combination, something one can definitely try.
To go with the food, we tried few mocktails - Apple Jack, Pineapple Blossom and Pista! Amongst the two, I would recommend Apple Jack which is a mix of Apple, Mango juice and Grapefruit juice. Pineapple Blossom is TGW's version of Virgin Pinacolada. Refreshing!
If someone prefers cocktails, the best drink to have is the Good Wife Cocktail a vodka based berrylicious drink. Must try!
Next we tried the Potato and Goat Cheese Gnocchi - Chef Special and Tamarind Chilli Spiced Cottage Cheese. Gnocchi was nice -small potato dumplings with goat cheese. Amongst the two, I preferred the Cottage Cheese preparation. Cottage cheese, Bok Choy and peppers. Tasted amazing! Must try!
We turned to the mains - ordered a half and half Pizza! Simpleton (Caprese) which is a mozzarella cheese pizza and Tartufo Nero E Funghi. Mushroom lover must try Tartufo Nero Pizza, but again, wild mushrooms so has a strong distinct flavour. Else, simple is good - go for Simpleton!
Next we had the Grandma's Lasagna with Garlic Crostini. Layers of cheese and sauces with vegetables and cheese and sauces! Crostini was crisp! Enjoyable.
Post this we tried the Herb Cottage Cheese Steak - a middle eastern dish served with rice and tomato stew. Must try! Delicious!
Finally moving to desserts - the Chocolate Mistress is a clear favorite and signature dish at the Good wife. Chocolate Sphere is presented to you and hot caramel is poured on this sphere. Sphere opens and you see the vanilla ice-cream and the mini brownies. Presentation of the dish is as good as the taste! Must must try at the Good Wife!
Lastly we tried the Dulche De Leche & Nutella Cheesecake - another chef Special. Dulche De Leche looks and tasted similar to caramel, so people who like caramel must try this nutella cheesecake!
All-in-all, a perfect place to get your family friends, etc. In case you are treating your spouse, she will be a "happy" wife at the Good Wife! Give this place a try if you haven't already!
