Rajouri Garden evolved as a hotspot of eateries in West Delhi and we were all so excited. Every other day we hear of some new restaurant here. Given this explosion, the parking is haywire and the area is quite a clutter that we choose to miss. However we came across The Junkyard Café here on a very hot afternoon last Saturday.

There are vegetarians and vegetarians. While eating out, some don’t mind eating vegetarian food at a place that also serves non-veg. For some, this is not acceptable and they adhere to vegetarian food places. Others are for Jain food and shun places that add onion or garlic.

Delhi-Ciously Chekov – Play featuring Tom Alter
Tom Alter is a regular feature in the Delhi theatre circuit. The flip side is he is part of lot of productions that solely depend on his popularity to pull off the act.

Nonetheless, the play “Delhi-Ciously Chekov” was recently held at Epicentre, Gurgaon and we went to watch this a Sunday evening.

Oh My God – New restaurant in Connaught Place
Oh My God in Connaught Place is one among many restaurants in this area. Given that every other restaurant here is non distinguishable from each other, it is tough competition for them.
