Air cooled, low lighted, wooden tables with porcelain laid top. You can feel a “premium” atmosphere with the projected-music video, Bose audio and even LG plasma. Seating is limited. Say, some 25 or 30 peoples max. (3 / 5 points)

[b:9c4a745829]Menu[/b:9c4a745829]

No seperate books for every cuisine. Means, they have listed all multi continental food items in one book. For example, under starters, you will find one from china, one from mexico, one from europe and one tandoori. Overall, the list is long enough to make you drool. (3.5 / 5 points)

Jamaican Jerk Chicken: A Jamaican main course with chicken pieces, onion rings, fried veg beans, fried potatoes and dry basmati rice with some flavour added to it. Its a sizzler too. The chicken tasted ok, but the beans, potatoes and rice.. are a definite no no ! Stay away from this.

Lasagne Veg : Default lasagne with veg inside. Nothing great to comment. Pass mark.

Lasagne Lamb: One of the decent dish you can order. Remember, its a lasagne, so lotsa cheese. Diet concious should think twice before ordering.

Chicken Quesidillas : Prepare a roti. Stuff cheese and boiled chicken inside. Cut into 6 pieces like a pizza. Place some sliced tomatos on top. You get chicken quesidillas. You may like it.. you may NOT like it. you may like it .. you may not like it.. oh, thats too difficult to decide whether you liked it or not.

Oriental Crispy Fried Vegetables: Go with your partner. Order a OCFV, and start chatting with him/her. It may last for some 15 minutes. Great companion for those who are on a date ;-) . Definitely a time cruncher and “kara kara moru moru” feast for your griding jaws. Prepared from Potatoes, Baby corns and Cauliflower.

Quality is just right. Nothing spectacular. Quantity wise, every main course is sufficient for one average person. Not much, not less (3 / 5 points)

[b:9c4a745829]Hospitality[/b:9c4a745829]

One of the poor services i have seen. We asked for a pen.. and never received any. Service was little un-attentive. We then asked for the menu card.. and it took a long time to see a menu card on our table. Considering the fact that only some 10 people were in the restaurant, i would say, they were un-attentive and rendered a poor service. To make it worse.. they play the same music video disc again and again. (1/5 points)

[b:9c4a745829]Price[/b:9c4a745829]

Priced at premium. The minimum price i saw on the menu card is Rs.70. Almost all others fall in the range of Rs.120 and Rs.190.

[b:9c4a745829]Conclusion[/b:9c4a745829]

Multicuisines are always expensive. gioRgio is not an exception and it doesnt give a worth-for-money experience. May be the italian pizzas are better there. But we didnt try them yesterday. So I cannot conclude anything solid without trying their pizzas. But for now, I will say gioRgio is somewhat okay for visiting once or twice in a year. (2.5 / 5 points)
