Fun, Frolic, excitement and entertainment are words that define Smaaash.  Located in the posh 1 MG Mall, it is a must visit for some recreational activities and an escape from regular mundane work life. They have phenomenal virtual reality attractions apart from some exemplary video games that brings back childhood memories. My favourite picks are the exceptional Cricket arena, Bowling Alley, Jurassic Ride, Vertigo, ferrari ride and Roller Coaster.

Food- The new menu had some delightful dishes. Starters were appetizing. But I did not enjoy the soups or salads. Impressive Presentation. Pyaaz Kachori was fantastic with infusion of tangy and sweet flavours. Pizza Pockets was incredible because of the nice filling and cheese bursting out at the first bite. Chicken and Onion pakora was outstanding as it was perfectly marinated and fried giving it great texture, crunchiness and spiciness. Hot basil fish was average. Though the ‘basa’ tossed in Chinese sauce was soft, it didn’t taste very fresh.  Chicken Basket is ordinary. Just regular crumb fried chicken with mayo. Spicy Chopper Rice was remarkable. An elevated version of fried rice mixed with succulent pieces of chicken and abundant vegetables topped with fried egg. Potli biryani wrapped in Rumali Roti was excellent. Despite not authentic Hyderabadi ‘Dum’ Style, it was something unique. Mocktails are refreshing and made well.  Walnut brownie was brilliant with generous use of chocolate sauce and nuts. Other Desserts can be improved. (7/10)

Service- Gaming Zone service is splendid. Wonderful Welcome and Superb hospitality. Courteous Staff. Restaurant Service is a little slow. Waiters need to be more quick and efficient. Mall Basement Parking Available. (6/10)

Pricing- Moderately High. Keeping in mind that this is not a fine dining restaurant, it is a bit expensive. However it is meant for comfort Food or a quick snack to keep hunger attacks in control while experiencing the games and may be pocket friendly for their target audience that is mainly college/ corporate crowd. Nevertheless, Quality as well as quantity is impeccable. Food can be ordered separately as ala carte. There are Different Packages for gaming, starting at 499 and all access at Rs. 699. (7/10)
