#RESTAURANT DEJA VU MOVIE#

Both were presented beautifully, but the thin-crust pizza was flavorless and soggy. This was especially true of the potato and sausage pizza (NT$360) and spaghetti with garlic and clams (NT$420). That was disappointing because the dishes were over-seasoned with salt.

After our main courses were served, our water glasses were not filled up. But when asked if the pasta with clams contained white wine, our server said she didn’t know and she didn’t bother to check. For the first 15 minutes, or so, our water glasses remained full. When our party ordered the seafood pizza (NT$480), our server, dressed in formal black, suggested another dish because we had already ordered the seafood risotto (NT$680 for two), which contains similar ingredients. At Dejavu we offer creative Bangladeshi, Indian dishes delivered right. And like the design, the service started out well. Dejavu is a popular Indian restaurant and takeaway based at 19 High Street in Cheshunt.

Kitschy movie set production values aside, our party of nine was still prepared to give the service and food the benefit of the doubt. During my visit, several amateur photographers went up to snap the auto (this reviewer included), bumping chairs and setting off flashbulbs in the process.ĭeja Vu, a restaurant owned by pop star Jay Chou, lives on its claim to fame. Sure, the Batmobile is sleek and cool and something you’ve probably never seen before, but a car doesn’t belong in the center of a dining room. The oil paintings are in fact posters and the sumptuous architectural flourishes are offset incongruously by Chou’s gigantic Batmobile, its black surface reflecting the interior’s kaleidoscope of crass disco lighting. As you move further in, however, it’s Pandamen all the way. With its vaulted arcades supported by stone columns and exposed cement walls adorned with framed paintings of landscapes and portraits of renowned composers, it is immediately appealing. Opened last summer in Huashan 1914 Creative Park (華山1914), Deja Vu at first feels like a finely crafted work of art. It will either be a resounding success like the pop music that has made him a household name, or it will be a dud like Pandamen (熊貓人), the television drama he directed that was universally panned by critics and audiences because of its goofy premise and trite plot. Jay Chou’s (周杰倫) restaurant Deja Vu, I thought to myself as I entered it last weekend, will probably follow one of two trajectories, much the same way his career in the entertainment industry has.
