Here to attend my first Bloggers Meetup for an occasion of New Menu launch of the Restaurant. Event Organised by the Owners Mr. Prabhas and Mrs. Pallavi in Collaboration with Shahbaaz Zaman.
Before with Discuss anything i have some interesting facts to share with you about the Restaurant. So let's start with The name First 'Hakuna Matata' The Swahili Phrase taken from East African Bantu language which simply means 'no worries for the rest of your days' to fulfill that quote they are producing global food in their local kitchen and make finger leaking delicious dishes so that we enjoy our meal and feel our worries evaporated. now let's meet their Mascot 'KOKO' an fun loving creature who represents the fun and free spirit of the world. In his first valentine he got his girl 'KIKI'. you can see them enjoying together at first floor's left side wall named 'deja vu in the Hakuna Matata age'. By their Mascot they wanted to send a message that 'The fastest way to a Person's heart is through its tummy' for that they take quality, taste and presentation of food very seriously. Move on to 'Wishing Tree' which was on the wall where stairs was. a beautiful thought that at Hakuna Matata wishes comes true So write your wishes and stick them in the wishing tree. I see lot of wishes on the wishing tree with some feedbacks and idiotic stuffs like 'Champu loves Champa'. In the Bar Decor you see paddles and a bicycle with the help of these they want to say us that they travelled alot around the world to provide us brilliant quality drinks and foods. The moment you enter the Restaurant look on your top you see two sculptures of rock climbers made by Mr. Chhatrapati Dutta signifies the exploration, adventure and passion. The Key ingredients of the food they prepare and presents for us. Restaurant Decor was extremely amazing. They have two sections. 1st one was in ground floor which has bar and dine in section for regular customers. 2nd one was on first floor which has a private Mezzanine for private dine in with family and friends. They have live music show us sung by a beautiful voiced singer & live sports screening and a valet parking. Cool looking place which was beautifully designed and decorated with comfortable sitting arrangement. Whole Credit goes to the innovative minds of Owners. they did really hardwork to make this place that much interesting.

Before i rapped up there is something very important to share with you guys. Most of us has a feeling about Hakuna Matata that it was an very costly restaurant so better to avoid it. You guys are completely wrong here. Yes it was costly but only by it's looks and quality of food & beverages. Come to price surprisingly it was one of the cheapest Restaurants of Park Street. From drinks to starters to main course to desserts all items of menu you get in pocket friendly price. It was an pure Vegetarian Restaurant which provides of fusion dishes around the world. So guys do visit here it won't cost your pocket much.
Thats it with today's meetup. like to thank Chef Chanchal Dutta and team for providing us tastiest veg cuisin. It was an never forgetting experience here. Must visit place. personal favorite. highly recommended to all.
