Pizza Hut is out to bewitch its patrons all over again. Grapevine had it that something new in is the offing. We have been invited at the Pizza Hut outlet, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. But the invitation contained very few details. It got even more inexplicable when we were welcomed with devil horns to be worn as a headband and ushered into a dark room with black and red walls. Not very palatable we thought.
During our recent short trip to Jaipur we wanted to have a light Rajasthani lunch and what can be more suitable than kachoris. We were recommended Rawat Misthan Bhandar for kachoris by the sister. Rawat Misthan Bhandar, as per Google, was at Sind Camp bus stand and our hotel was also in this area. Hence we decided to try Rawats’
My mother is a staunch vegetarian and I was looking for a simple place to have Mother’s Day lunch with her. We wanted some place in West Delhi. We just chanced upon Bittoo Tikki Wala outlet Kirti Nagar and because my mother is a fan of Indian street food variety we thought of giving this place a shot. The BTW outlet disappointed big time.
It is time for Chicken Tikka Masala to move over. Whole Foods Market, a natural and organic chain of stores in the United States of America, has a live dosa counter – Dosateria. When we travel, we prefer trying local cuisine. Yet, looking at a dosa in a totally alien environment, we just had to try this place.
We were recently at India Habitat Centre for Habitat Film Festival. We wanted to have some quick and light dinner in the vicinity. Right after exiting Habitat Centre we entered Meharchand Market and saw this new restaurant with an attractive glow sign that read Dietliciouz. This looked promising.
The humble kulcha has glammed up at KOOLCHAS, Gurgaon. They have two branches as of now – one in Sushant Lok and the other in the Sector 14 market. When we dropped at the latter outlet for early dinner, we liked the space. The bright prints on the white walls gave Koolchas a café feel. Now, kulchas in a café – does that work?
We have been to Chili’s in Boston and loved the fuss free dining experience. Chili’s Grill and Bar in New Delhi has launched a new bar menu. Recently, we visited Chili’s Connaught Place outlet and in this sweltering weather, the new bar menu was great news. It was already dinner time so we tried some Tex-Mex dishes and some decadent desserts as well.
Ottimo at the ITC Maurya is hosting a Summer Barbeque Festival throughout the month of May. We just need a reason to visit the beautiful Ottimo. The barbeque festival was a reason like no other so we rushed for dinner last evening. It was an elaborate affair and we had a delightful experience.
Le Meridien, Janpath recently organized an evening of sharbats at Allure. While the focus was sharbats as in traditional summer drinks of Delhi, the event had an interesting twist. They had roped in Asif Dehlvi and Rohit Manchandani from Delhi Karvan to tell the audience stories about sharbats and its connect with Delhi.
After the Marwari Thali, there is one more post about food from an exotic destination – Uttarakhand. “Exotic Uttarakhand”, the Uttarakhand Food Festival is being held at Glasshouse, Hilton Garden Inn, Gurgaon. Life in mountains is hard. But. how about the food? We had to do this gastro-trip to find out.
Just before summer set in, we flew to Bikaner to do a last round of Rajasthan for the season. We packed in a lot during this short trip and do check this space for our posts. Today we write about the Marwari Thali that we had in Bikaner. That too, in a real haveli, Bhanwar Niwas, a family homestead for generations. The Marwari Thali here was full of surprises.
Muzaffar and Meera Ali have opened up their homestead in Gurgaon and set up a tent restaurant “Maashra”. Maashra offers a fine dining experience in line with the royal cuisine of Awadh. We recently had a 6 course meal over 4 hours here. Sitting in Gurgaon, it was travel to another space in another era.
What happens when you combine “Café” and “Restaurant”? Apparently it is a “Caftaurant” – Zorambo on Golf Course Road, Gurgaon. We recently attended the launch of Zorambo and surveyed it firsthand. We were in exalted company since the bestselling author Chetan Bhagat attended the launch as well.
The Art Gallery of Embassy of Peru recently gave collaborations a different connotation. They hosted Latin American and Caribbean food festival at this venue. We were a little wary about how to deal with this invite. About seven different cuisines were to be served under the same roof and they were competing for the best country in terms of food. This could be a food fight like no other.
Cinépolis has collaborated with the acclaimed Chef Saransh Goila to revamp their menu. We were invited for the launch of NEW MENU for FOODIES at Cinépolis, Saket. To keep up with changing tastes of consumers, they have added a host of new items on their menu. The new menu is available at all Cinépolis theatres across the country.
