Kebab Gali – Kebabs & Biryani in South Delhi
Kebab Gali as the name suggests serves Mughlai food at their outlet at Vasant Square Mall. They have some dining space but one can make out they mostly survive on takeaways and delivery. Their Dahi Kebabs are delicate and delicious. The other items that we had – biriyani – chicken tikka etc. were decent but spicy. We were redeeming a voucher gifted by Zomato but the Kebab Gali guys were not very forthcoming on this.
New Delhi Palate Fest 2015
The huge New Delhi Palate Fest was organised at PSOI Cub, Nehru Park, Chanakyapuri. The event comprised a huge agglomeration of stalls by almost all big names in the hospitality industry. The visitors were terribly spoilt for choice in terms of quality and variety of food. The program was peppered with sessions by celebrity chefs and music by live bands. The turnout was stupendous and the Traffic Police had a trying time in handling the cars in that area. The Festival establishes that Delhi is still unarguably the food capital of the country.
Oz Haat Charity Mela
The 15th Oz Haat Charity Mela was held for a single day at the Australian High Commission, Chanakyapuri. It was a fun filled pre Christmas event that comprised sale of Christmas decor, local handicrafts and food items. The visitors included Indians and foreigners who looked in awe at the crafts made by NGOs. The parking scene was a little messy what with the New Delhi Palate Fest being held at the adjacent Nehru Park. But, in tune with the Yuletide spirit, we did not mind that with this event, our Christmas celebrations started a month in advance.
Chaayos – Getting high on tea at Hauz Khas Village
Chaayos has opened quite a few branches in Delhi NCR and had a kiosk at the Trade Fair. They serve a longish list of teas, other beverages and snacks. The snacks are ok. But chai is their star. A tad expensive, it is still an experience that is mostly reserved for coffee shops. Moreover, the store guys at the Hauz Khas Village are super hospitable and their warmth most definitely adds to the reasons of coming back here.
The National Cultural Festival of India 2015
The Ministry of Culture organized a weeklong festival showcasing India’s art, culture, food at the sprawling IGNCA. The whole area was transformed into a fairyland, an Indian fairyland. The food zone had exotic items from various parts of India. In fact, given the success of the event, this was extended by another day. The cherry on the icing was the live Sufi music concert by the Wadali brothers on the lawns of the IGNCA on the last evening.
Sakley’s The Mountain Café
Sakley’s The Mountain Café, M Block market, GK outlet tries too tries to hard to be upscale. The décor is artificial and the food and beverages that we tried were just about average. Probably the effect of trying to bring something from the mountains to the dry and dusty plains of an ostentatious locality of Delhi. The place lacks soul.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – Worst of 2015
The Diwali release “Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo” had evoked a lot of interest. However given the muddled storyline, poor acting, flat music, half baked characters and every other thing that could go off or over the top, this film is a huge disappointment. Sitting through the almost three hour longgggg duration could be an ordeal.
India International Trade Fair IITF 2015
The India International Trade Fair, IITF 2015, with its theme “Make in India” is a grand spectacle. It’s a reminder as to what a lovely synergy of traditional crafts and contemporary sciences we live in. With the theme symbol lion at every nook and corner and in most creative forms, we roar to the 35th Trade Fair.
Home style food at Rajasthan House
We tried the dinner thali at the canteen inside Rajasthan House on Prithvi Raj Road, Near Khan Market. They served home style roti, rice, salad and quite a few side dishes. The dinner ended with sewaiyaan in milk as dessert. The food, while high on chillies, was simple and palatable otherwise. Plus the unlimited servings ensured that no one left hungry. They only serve vegetarian food and thankfully this place is open to outsiders.
