ECR is getting livelier with new seashore bars dotting the coast. This newest addition nearly looks like a secret. A secret that I want to maintain on to, to safeguard the tranquillity of the place. However then, I’m not egocentric.
An unassuming lane in Injambakkam leads you to a gate with excessive partitions. Inside, swaying date palm bushes welcome you, alongside a cheerful inexperienced garden, a glass home, pool and a ship-shaped constructing. We’re at Mirabilis, a newly minted resort and lounge bar.
The one-and-a-half acre property homes 9 rooms, together with 4 cottages, and a banquet corridor. We make our option to the ship-shaped lounge bar that’s unfold throughout two flooring. The higher stage offers the texture of being on the deck of a ship, stationary albeit.

Vertical gardens alongside the partitions, hanging wisteria over the bar, and pink bougainvillea add bursts of color to the primarily white house. We arrive in time for sundowners, and fill our telephones with photos of the sky transitioning from sky blue to orange and at last, an inky blue. Service is fast, and whereas we look ahead to our drinks, we benefit from the idyllic view of the ocean, because the night time sky blends into it. What can be properly blended is our drinks.
Mine is aromatic with the flavours of pandan leaves from bushes grown in-house. It’s referred to as Duplicate and tries to duplicate the palmyra toddy, with an infusion of pandan syrup, orgeat syrup, apple juice — the rum shall be added as soon as the liquor license is accredited shortly. For now, I take pleasure in it as a mocktail.

The starters arrive in fast succession. The shakarkand broccoli tikka is a favorite. It’s marinated with hung curd and beetroot puree. The candy potato is mushy whereas the broccoli provides crunch to the dish. Chandni paneer tikka is white just like the moon and melts within the mouth. Every dice is filled with minced cottage cheese, bell peppers, raisins and marinated with hung yogurt cream. Whereas it’s effective for individuals (like me) who can not deal with something fiery, it may be barely bland when you have a palate for the spices. The mutton cheese sheekh, sharp with fragrant hand-blended spices like cinnamon, amchur, and cheddar cheese, steps in subsequent to cancel the monotony of the paneer. I take a sip of Sea Above — a blue and purple mocktail, candy with lychee, ardour fruit jam and cranberry juice — to offset the warmth from the sheekh.
However what we love is the kanthari beef. It has the punch from small crimson kanthari chillies soaked in selfmade apple cider vinegar for 2 days, and a definite flavour from caramelised onions sluggish cooked in coconut oil.
For predominant course we strive the drunken noodles, which we advocate. The wheat noodles are made in-house. It additionally has a touch of gin added for good measure. Loaded with bok choy, Chinese language cabbage, inexperienced pepper corn and rooster, it has a barely candy aftertaste and a light-weight inexperienced color due to the kefir lime paste.

Some might argue that in any case this, dessert may appear pointless. However how does one take care of greed? Home made gulab jamun blanketed in vanilla ice cream and nostalgia is reassuring. The white chocolate brownie comes with just a little swan made from whipped cream and white chocolate flake. It’s drizzled with white chocolate. The feel is totally different from a common brownie and is akin to mawa cake. And eventually, the winner: sticky toffee cake redolent with vanilla and mashed dates. It’s heat, moist, and easily the right dessert to finish a fantastically windy day by the coast.
