Together with fellow foodies from Pergikuliner & Gagaldiett, we made a unanimous decision to have our lunch in this exclusive Italian restaurant inside Fairmont Hotel, Senayan: Sapori Deli. Fancy, lavish and expensive---these three words summed our first impression upon entering this restaurant. And after pampering ourselves with a complete meal of three pastas, two pizzas and some desserts, we simply had no regrets for having spent our time here. Still, with some notes though.

To begin with, you can order its appetizer such as Calamari Fritto (4.5/5), which we ordered, to share for 3-4 or Tomato Mozzarella which the waiter said was the recommended one. Crunchy bread is also provided as complimentary items before moving on to the main courses. Moving on to the main courses, one of our favorites is Tagliolini (5/5), a bakmi-like pasta with creamy sauce. Its texture is quite thin and quite sticky unlike most spaghetti, the sauce is undeniably the creme de la creme of this dish. Its price is lower than the signature pasta Spaghetti Nero (3.5/5)--squid ink black pasta, yet one would agree that the latter is no better than the former. But, it is still one decent dish, I can say.

As for the pizzas, we ordered Naughty Boy (4/5) & Hawaii Five-Oh (4/5). The pizza served here is not of thin pizza (yet not too think as well) and its pizza crust is rather crunchy. The taste? Naughty boy was just like typical pizza served in many restaurant, while Hawaii Five-Oh had its special Parma Ham which for some can be quite, if not too much, savory. 8 nice slices of pizza to accompany your pasta. 

Last but not least, the desserts are not to skip whenever you pay a visit here. We tried its Cherry Semi Freddo with Pistachio (4/5) & Panna Cotta (4/5). Both were refreshing, perfect to end your meal here.

Service was generally fine with waitresses having good knowledge of the menu items in case guests are not sure what to order. They were also well-trained in their attitude towards customers, be it locals or foreigner. Food needs some time to be served, but the cozy ambience would compensate for your waiting time.

In brief, Sapori Deli totally deserves a place in the five-star Fairmont considering the quality it has shown to its guests.

Kalau dengar Henis, biasanya orang langsung terpikirkan dengan roti basonya yang memang sudah terkenal enak. Tapi menu lainnya juga tidak kalah enaknya dan salah satu yang lumayan recommended yaitu Bakmi Sapi Tauco.
Tentunya yang paling enak adalah kuah bakminya yang gurih dan enak. Lebih enak lagi apabila kuahnya dimakan dengan Cakue dan Daging Sapi yang empuk banget. Untuk bakminya, rasanya agk sedikit hambar kalau dimakan sendiri dan teksturnya agak aneh (IMO), tapi semua itu tertutupi sama kuahnya yang rasanya emang pas banget. Pokoknya gak nyesel deh walaupun harganya Rp. 45.500. Porsinya juga besar dan mengenyangkan.
Servis lumayan ok karena waitress-nya gak lambat dan tempatnya biasa aj---sperti resto rumahan biasa.
Next time, bakal kesini lagi buat cobain menu lain seperti Soto Mie dan Bakmi Ayam-nya. Two thumbs up for Henis!

Only ordering two dishes for myself, I was simply elated with how delicious and generous the food was. And added to its perfection was the cordial service.
I ordered Seafood Pescatore (4/5) along with Mini Smoked Chicken Genovese Pizza (5/5).
Seafood Pescatore --- Pasta with some squid and big prawns in tomato gravy. The amount of sauce was just right and it was a decent portion for one person. Recommended.
Smoked Chicken Genovese was a real heaven for pizza lovers. On top of its nicely thin pizza and yummy chicken slices is the genovese sauce, which is the prime feature. Genovese per se is an onion-based sauce, similar to Pesto.
All in all, try dropping by here should you crave for some pasta or pizza in Grand Indonesia.

Ganesha Ek Sanskriti indeed deserves rounds of applause for its luscious food, excellent service, and not to mention its competitive price for such a great fine-dining experience.
Coming here early at around 11.30, we found the restaurant still empty with waiters still busy preparing the buffet. The Indian ambience was strong with a kind of altar at the entrance, even stronger with fragrance of incense throughout the room.
We took seats overlooking Jakarta's skyscrapers and placed our orders immediately: Butter Chicken (5/5), Mattar Paneer (4.5/5), Tandoori Chicken (4/5) and Bread Basket. Butter Chicken and Mattar Paneer are just almost flawless with strong but not overwhelming spices. Tandoori Chicken (half) was served with quite a decently big portion, a nice accompaniment to your curry. And for sure, breads would perfectly complement your lunch. We spent 420k and the food totally paid it off.
All in all, Ganesha Ek Sanskriti can serve you the finest Indian food. And the awards exhibited on the entrance wall were not just for mere display, you'd agree.
