OPEN MIND

Eating under the sky and stars is a must. Thus Taj Coral Reef Resort presents Open - The Grill, an al fresco dining experience overlooking the lagoon & the swimming pool. Guests are treated to a stylish interactive experience at the Teppanyaki Grill where the meal is accompanied by selections of flavoured organic sea salts and different olive oils. The grills use lava stone and traditional Indian tandoori char grills for ultra authentic results. Meanwhile, the Sushi chef demonstrates his skills at the sushi bar. And to add to the contrast, there's a poolside, wood-fired pizza oven that ensures delicious, classic pizza is available all day long.
