Tanatan | Juhu | foodiefat
#foodiefat: Tanatan is a profound gong which speaks through its ambience, food, service a very well nurtured restaurant with one vision to beat in everyone's cognizance in terms of a distinct eatery.
Its located at Juhu easily reachable, it has one of the best entrances loved the automatic door with a warm greet.
Note - Valet parking is available
Once you enter you will be amazed at the decor, it has so significant minute details it's like a monument need to look closely amidst the exquisite design, as it as so lovely innovative painting.
Innovative as you can find "Michael Jackson" in Maharaja Attire you will just love it and laugh, to my personal favorite "Angelina Jolie", Iconic "Monalisa", funny cat and dogs dressed in human attire and many more just take a tour around.
More about ambiance there are famous movie dialogues written all over, and to my count and asked the manager there are total "51 dialogues" written, yea I think they should keep a competition to find all those, and trust me they are perfectly synced to the ambiance.
They have private seating arrangement too for around 6-7 people closed room with personal Television.
The best thing about Tanatan which makes it really unprecedented and I liked the most is that besides the dining area they had their whole kitchen visible to all the customers enclosed between the glass walls so you can clearly discern what's operating inside the kitchen, all the chefs and the master chef working inside were so happy and calm, which you can remark through their quality food gustation and presentation.
With amazing food, they have live concerts too, famous bands across come to perform, its a whole package of entertainment.
I can go on and on with the ambiance it's so worth it, I will strongly recommend all if you really want to go for the ambiance so visit at the lunchtime as you will get ample space to move around.
Now heading towards drinks and food.
