The Potbelly – Bihari cuisine beyond Litti Chokha
The Potbelly is a restaurant serving Bihari cuisine in their outlets at Shahpur Jat and Bihar Bhavan in Chanakyapuri. The Chanakyapuri outlet opens out to a lawn and greets one with pleasant artistic décor. They take Bihari cuisine out of the litti-chokha zone and the stylised cooking alongwith the aesthetic plating makes a visit to this place a fine dining experience . But without burning a hole in one’s pocket.

B Bar: Pan Asian Cuisine in Saket
B Bar at Select Citywalk mall, Saket, serve Asian food from Japanese, Chinese, Malay to Thai cuisine. It is an impressive looking place and the food is nice. We were particularly impressed with Maki Rolls and prawn dimsums. It may be a little over-the-top for regular meals but is apt for celebrations.
Durga Puja in Delhi NCR
Durga Puja is around the corner (19th – 22nd October, 2015) and parks / open spaces in NCR are dressing up for hosting the Goddess Durga and her children these five days. This festival in its present form is commonly a public celebration that involves craft, music, food, new clothes and the sound of dhak (the Bengali drum). People hop between various pandals to enjoy the festivities. Chittaranjan Park has the highest concentration of Pujas in NCR. The celebration supersedes the religious character and thus this festival is open to all.
Unfreedom-Telling people what they don’t want to hear
Un-freedom deals with lives of few people – some demanding freedom from society, some struggling to set themselves free from their past and some rejecting the idea of freedom from taboos. The film is a bold attempt in creating something new using the tried and tested theme of homosexuality and post 9/11 trauma. Unfreedom is very well scripted & directed and editing is also praiseworthy.
QD’s Restaurant – Another Campus Favourite
QD’s Restaurant at South Campus is a popular food joint. Their most celebrated dish perhaps is the tandoori momos. These are grilled dumplings with chicken / vegetable filling. The filling is spicy and the dish should be had hot. Try this if you are up for experimenting with food.

Maharashtra Food Stall at Delhi Haat
The Maharashtra Food Stall at Dilli Haat (INA) is one of the most popular state food stalls. They serve a variety of snack, meal and sweet dishes. The snack and the meals are high on the chilly factor. However their Puran Poli is something to die for.

Cafe Lota – Cuisine from various states of India
Cafe Lota serves a variety of common as well as off beat dishes from various states in India. They cover the whole gamut of starters – main course – dessert. The cooking style is creative and everything that we had tasted awesome. The serving size is however small and parking can be an absolute torture over weekends / peak dining hours.
Dosar – Film by Rituparno Ghosh
Prosenjit Chatterjee Retrospective is being held during 7-29 September, 2015 at India Habitat Centre. The retrospective started with the Benagli film Dosar directed by Rituparno Ghosh. Dosar stars Prosenjit and Konkona and is about extra marital relationships in an urban setting. We found the flim somewhat cliché and is definitely not among the masterpieces of Rituparno. Yet, it is a watchable film, relatable in parts and the English subtitles make it an easy watch for non Bengali speaking audience.
Imperfecto – Food, Drinks & Live band in HKV
Imperfecto is a resto bar at DLF Cyberhub and Hauz Khas Village. The Hauz Khas outlet is right at the entry (literally). The cuisine is a mix of Mediterranean, Italian and Continental. The food is decent but nothing to go gung ho about. However, the staff is nice and we had pleasant experience always.
