In the heart of Baga's activity, a long pebbled pathway bordered by swaying palms leads you to Fiesta. Yellow Mehra, has made contemporary fine dining the place to be frequented by one and all. Having trained under German chefs, Yellow has compiled a menu of European cuisine. From Bavaria comes the honey flavoured goat cheese milk served with savoury salted waffles. The delicately flavoured goats cheese makes every bite a pure delight. The Parma Ham Ravioli with spinach, mascarpone and parmesan cheese is another great way to start the meal. And remember that there are enticing mains coming your way. The fish section is superb, especially the Lobster au Gratin, baked on wood fires before being served with a heady white wine sauce. Besides seafood the Steaks, Chicken - a superb choice for the diner- but let us dwell for a moment on the Classic Pepper Steak. Fillet steak crusted with pepper on a mustard cream sauce topped with crispy onion chips; served with vegetables and oven baked mashed potato. If you visualize eating the crispy onion chips with the potato mash that will have its very own story to tell, but when accompanied by a morsel of succulent peppered meat with that coating of mustard cream sauce - the combo is mind blowing. With the wind ruffling through the damp tendrils of the hair after such a repast take a peek at the desserts listed on the menu. There is the Cappuccino Pear which has coffee ice-cream sandwiched in meringue in an Irish cream liqueur. Or you can exclaim 'to die for' before you start with Death by Chocolate, a hot chocolate souffle served with cold chocolate mousse and vanilla sauce. Blow hot, blow cold - hot souffle, cold mousse - saucy yet demure, Yellow promises you a Fiesta all the way.
