Spread out over two storeys with covers for 96 including its three bars, one a shot bar, Smokey's woody, rustic decor exudes a casual warmth making it ideal for extended Sunday lunches and even drinks sessions with some very succulent nibbles. Usually the laughter and cheer of the lunching folks rises over the music making it better suited for a visit with a largish group.
Ambience: At the entrance you run into the shot bar, and further down is the elaborate open seating arrangement with a neatly stocked bar at its heart. But what draws you most is the wall done up with vodka bottles in every size filled with coloured liquid. This wall can be quite the reference point of your meal here with its beautiful bright colours adding a touch of life to the otherwise dim interiors. A little elevated section on one corner doubles up for a podium on karaoke nights, while at other times dinner tables are laid out to accommodate more guests. The first floor again has an open seating plan with a bar counter on one end. Most noticeably, certainly after the wall-length coloured vodka bottles display, is the brick wall with real butchery knives in different shapes and sizes. Just under it is a pile of wooden logs to further accentuate the barbeque-and-grill feel of the place.FoodStarters: While you take a pick from the never-ending appetizer menu call for a cucumber and mint mocktail or an apple soaked mojito - they work really well in hot weather. The beetroot salad with lettuce soaked in balsamic vinegar with a dash of feta can be an ideal way to whet your appetite. You can follow it up with the house favourite loaded potato skin which is basically potatoes stuffed with sour cream, chives and baked with cheddar cheese. The oozy cheddar lends a texture to the smashed potato leaving a creamy and tangy aftertaste. Fish fans must try out the grilled Vietnamese Basa marinated with Kasundi mustard, or the spiced coconut marinated fisherman's basket which is a lavish offering of prawns, sole and calamari fritters marinated with coconut and green chilli.
Sliders and hot dogs: If you are a smaller group, and don't have the stomach for a chunky full sized burger, you can safely go for an assortment of pulled tenderloin slider, six chillies chicken slider, lamb slider with buttered onion, and bacon and lamb slider. Like the sliders, the hot dogs too are available in bite size with the classic combination of frankfurters with bacon and mustard sauce.
Steak and meats: If spare ribs are your weakness, you will enjoy Smokey's rendition of this popular dish too with Chilean pork ribs marinated with in-house spice mix, lager and barbeque sauce and slow cooked in a wood fired oven. Among deep sea delights, the pan seared sea bass glazed with Kasundi mustard served with spicy creamy corn on a bed of curried coconut cream with lemon grass renders a subtle sweetness which lingers for very long on your palate.Mains and pasta: This too is a broad category to choose from comprising the usual pastas, risottos and lasagnas in an array of sauces and combinations. But you must try out the grilled veg tortellini for the succulent smoky flavour and its juicy cheesy bite. Stuffed with grilled vegetables, almonds and cream cheese tossed with oregano, butter and garlic, this veg dish is highly recommended even to meat lovers.
Dessert: Banoffee pie is a runaway favourite of the guests who like the way this homemade pastry topped with toffee, cream, banana and grated chocolate is served layer upon layer in a glass, unlike most places that offer it in a slice. Or you could go with the tried and perfected chocolate mud pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.Service: The staff is extremely friendly and are always a call away. They explain the dishes rather well, and are prompt with the service.
It is a decent enough place to let your hair down with your gang and put away a few drinks together with some smoked treats.
