Cafe Noir, UB City.

What can I say! Words cannot describe how good it is to go eat out and get ready for reviewing restaurants again, something I sorely missed the past year. My bestie and I met here, at Café Noir in UB city after nearly a year! It is a warm, outdoorsy, safe place with black stone tables (this was so hot to touch and the service person had to keep wiping the surface with a cool cloth), and sun umbrellas. For starters we had the basket fries which is a mix of potato wedges and French fries. This went down real fast as they were fresh and crispy and tasted great with the tomato salsa. This was followed by pasta Arrabiata which was penne pasta in spicy tomato and basil sauce, cheese, grilled vegetables and basil leaves. My friend chose to have the chicken Lasagna. This was quite a meal. Fresh and delicious though it was, we had to stop halfway and had to take away the rest. I actually felt strange eating a meal like this after ages! Ended the meal with watermelon juice for my friend and I ordered a frappe for myself simply because I hadn’t had one in, like, forever! Both were cool and refreshing. The pandemic sure makes one count their blessings. Prices are slightly on the higher side but it was a thoroughly enjoyable, satisfying meal. I would love to go back there when the weather is cooler and definitely want to try their other dishes, and especially to try their range of desserts.. Service was quick and efficient. Spoons and forks come wrapped in paper. All in all, hygienic and safe to visit during these times. Would I recommend a visit to others? Yes! Would I go there again? Most definitely. Overall rating 4.5/5 Ratings for reviews: 1 – No! No! No! 2- Just about average. 3 –Good. Can give it a try. 4- Great!! 5 – Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
