STEP THROUGH THE BIG YELLOW DOOR



It's been more than an year since I've been a student in the University of Delhi and it's also been more than an year since I read about Big Yellow Door (GTB-Nagar) on Zomato. Almost every foodie I know has been to this place. My family, my friends, my neighbors, my long lost phuphi jaan from Ajmer have been to BYD.It was about time I gave this place a visit.




Given the hype of the place, a 10 minute wait period was justified (Even though it is exam season). But the place is very vibrant, even on the outside. With it's fun multicolored benches outside and it's um well Big Yellow Door to welcome it's guests. The decor is too random, but the shady lighting and music gives it a lounge-esque feel (with tables and chairs though).

View my food journey on Zomato!
However, the service of the place could be improved. Anybody and everybody who's in the staff can wipe tables, take orders, handle the cash register and be the Maitre D'. My waiter was nice, however the one serving the table next to us was super rude. He got them a pizza and no plates. When asked for plates, he replied in a very sarcastic tone, "Ookkaayy" and then he returned with plates and went, "Pllaaatteessss". Depressing. :P
Finally, the food. Damn, BYD is cheesy as sh!t. I thought Dunkin Donuts' Naughty Lucy burger was cheesy, but the BYD Cheese Bomb is truly the bomb. A massive double patty cheeseburger served with wafers is worthy of it's name. We also ordered the Creamy Pasta which was tasty and had a quantity to feed 3 or even 4 people. But what I thought was truly the overload of cheese were the Baked Nachos. Damn. I don't know what got to me. Was it the fact that it was the same cheese all over again, or was it just too much food for 2 people.

Trust me when I say, BYD lives up to it's hype. The 2 of us had ordered food for 4 people. There was cheese coming out of my sweat pores. But we carried on because the pasta was that damn good.

When in BYD, order as many dishes as there are people. Else you would have will literally bite off more than you can chew.

PATTA CAFE, CHAMPA GALI   Patta Cafe is hidden away in the most scenic of places that Delhi has to offer, Champa Gali. It's a beautiful cafe with loads of colors to boast. The open area outside the door is perfect for Instagram worthy content as well! As soon as you enter, the vibe calms you down. It's like you've been transported to some hillside café in the North Eastern foothills. The decor, the music, the food, Patta Cafe is all about the roots! Their menu justifies the same. They have a variety of cuisine including Tibetan, Naga, Bhutanese and Chinese. I would like to take this moment to first mention Tenzin, the friend of the owner who waited our table at Patta Cafe. He was the sweetest server possible. He suggested we try some of the more authentic dishes that they had to offer. So we went with what he suggested. We went for the Tsampa Shake, which I did not try at Ama Cafe in Majnu Ka Tila because they said it's made from wheat. But here I went with w

THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC - Ministry of Beer: Review

Image
MINISTRY OF BEER, GURGAON They say magic isn't real. They say it's only fables that have kept us believing in this fantasy. I say, you haven't been to Ministry of Beer in Sector 29, Gurgaon yet. It was just the two of us again, my cousin and I, and the next spot on our venture-list was indeed, the biggest property in Gurgaon, Ministry of Beer. Their branch in Connaught Place, the biggest there, hosts a human-sized Bumblebee (the Transformer) which was enough to get me excited about my visit to the one at Gurgaon! But it was a complete overhaul in the experience. From a ravage party based ambience to the one in Connaught Place, the one here had the best of both worlds. A delicate balance between the hip and the heavenly. THE AMBIENCE As soon as you enter the commercial complex at Sector 29, you're in complete awe of the establishments in the vicinity. From My Bar HQ, Molecule Air Bar to the towering Ministry of Beer. There is an aura abou
