T’pot Cafe, Malviya Nagar looks like a set from a KJo film – florescent color walls, guitars for decor etc. Thronged by college kids mostly, its a very noisy place almost like a college canteen. We ordered basic stuff like Masala ginger tea and muffin and liked it.

Kolkata Biryani House-Calcutta style Biryani in Delhi NCR
The Kolkata Biryani House in Gurgaon served us an almost perfect Biryani in the Calcutta style. This Biryani emanated from the Awadhi style brought to Kolkata by Wajed Ali Shah. It always comes with a huge boiled potato and is subtly flavored with saffron, rose water and other fragrant spices.
Rang De Basanti Dhaba – Let Sarojini Nagar be for clothes only
Rang De Basanti (a dhaba themed restaurant) has moved to a mall in the Sarojini Nagar market. We had liked the experience at their erstwhile outlet at South Ex. The tractor looked stylish there, here it looked redundant. Its an OK place if you want typical north Indian food. Nothing much to write home about.
Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge-Probably the only tea bar in north West Delhi
The concept of tea lounges is uncommon in north/west Delhi and we were pleasantly surprised to discover Waagh Bakri Tea Lounge – the place is aesthetic but unassuming. The tables had many board games such as Chess, Scrabble etc. Our tea that evening was sweeter because of the longish hand that we had on Scrabble.

Fork You
Fork you is a widely discussed American food joint in the hep Hauz Khas Village. The “Build your own burger” is one of their most popular items. The best place to sit is the balcony, specially if you like to smoke.
Baisakhi Mela 2014
Baisakhi Mela 2014 was an extension of Punjabi ethos. Punjab Academy tried to bring together the colorful Punjabi culture along with their food, music and dances in a village fair like setup at IGNCA.
Mother’s Day Lunch @ Sagar Ratna
Sagar Ratna has revised their menu. Apart from typical south Indian fare, they have included North-Indian dishes along with some outlandish Dosas. We were amused to see dishes like hot garlic dosa, spring roll dosa and chocolate wrap dosa etc. But this is not just another culinary gimmick. It was indeed mouth watering.
Fresc Co
Fresc Co, an Italian food restaurant at Janpath, CP had always been very inviting and famous because of its word of mouth publicity. Though its buffets are much discussed, we skipped this and went a la cart. While Fresc Cos’ soups, salads and main course were divine, dessert was just about alright. We’d highly recommend their lime grilled chicken salad.
Oh Calcutta
Outside Paschim Bengal, one of the most recommended Bengali fine dine restaurants is Oh Calcutta. But this place couldn’t live up to our expectations. The Oh Calcutta Biriyani was hardly Calcutta. It was more like a typical Delhi Biriyani (like Nizams, DEEZ etc), loaded with spices and chilli. And that is something any Calcuttan would perhaps swear – Calcutta Biriyani has no mirchi.
Bhangra Kitchen
Based in Rajouri Garden’s, J Block DDA market which is a cluster of non veg eateries, Bhangra kitchen totally stands out for its extra ordinary food. Seriously tasty and sinful, its a perfect place to chill out and binge with buddies on a weekend evening.
Dilli ke Pakwan – Street Food Festival
Organised by Delhi Tourism, Diili Ke Pakwan – The street food festival of Delhi looked bigger and better managed this time. Lot of stalls of all kind of street food Delhi is famous for. This festival had something for everyone who is a delhiwalla at heart.
Blind School Diwali Mela starting on 26 Oct
Venue : The Blind School Address: The Blind School, Next to Oberai Hotel, Lodhi Road, New Delhi,...
Chidambaram
Chidambaram’s take basic simple South Indian food beyond Masala Dosa and Uttapam by adding items like a Soy Dosa etc. Not for fine dining but nice South Indian, easy on pocket food.
Fruto Freesh – Green Park
Fruto Freesh’s USP is low fat and healthy food. The restaurant is well lit, has simple decor, and exudes positive vibes. With the freshness quotient, they live up to their name.
