BACK TO SCHOOL - Review - Prankster

Prankster Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato
PRANKSTER, SECTOR 29. GURGAON

A lot of restaurants across Delhi NCR have their own niche. Some are famous for their food alone, some have decades of history, some are beautiful while some take credit for their scenic locations. However, Prankster is the king of the classroom! It is a beautiful place with amazing food! It is the best of ALL worlds with a menu to prove it and a decor to slam all doubts.


THE AMBIENCE

Prankster, as the fun name suggests, is a throwback to the best time of our lives, school. The place is divided into sections and every section has a unique decor. From the library to the laboratories to the classroom, every nook of the place is beautiful. The Classroom section has a blackboard with chalk art and the seating is your typical classroom tables and chairs. There is relevant decor on the walls too. The Library section has long tables with lamps over the tables and a projector. The Laboratory has slabs with sinks and chemical racks. You can almost see Chaitali Ma'am scolding students over the other table. ALMOST.
 

The famous Leisure Valley is also behind the Prankster campus and makes for a perfect evening when you look across the open area with a drink in your hand. There are plenty of funky scooters outside and a jeep for a photo op. Prankster truly captures the look and feel of a campus.


THE FOOD

Now, the food at Prankster is again, very Indian. Or at least it tastes Indian. The Head Chef at Prankster is a very humble human being himself, curating these dishes and trying to recapture typical Indian flavours using VERY not-so-Indian techniques. From Chhole Kulche Donuts to Dahi Bhalla Icecream, Prankster has it all!

THE DRINKS
  • Let Us Prank: A refreshingly citric concoction of Orange, Apple, Lime and Peach! Very summery!
  • Apple Cinnamon Mojito: A twist on the classic Mojito, this drink had a tint of cinnamon for that extra kick!
  • Peanut Butter Shake: My favourite shake of all time, the peanut butter shake is very earthy and rusty. Its smooth and a tad bit bitter with the addition of the peanut butter. A perfect accompaniment to the food!


THE APPETISERS
  • Nitro Cooked Dahi Bhalla: I'd seen photos of this dish on social media and I had to try this. IT WAS DAHI BHALLA. BUT WITHOUT THE BHALLA. IT WAS CRAZY! AN ICECREAM THAT TASTED LIKE THE ENTIRE DISH BUT WITHOUT THE ACTUAL COMPONENTS OF THE DISH. WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!

  • Chhole Kulche Donut: Another innovation from the chef, the Chhole Kulche Donut was a stuffed donut with the chhole inside it. Served along with what seemed like a Salan and an Achar infused carrot puree.

  • Uttapam Waffle: The healthiest South Indian Breakfast marries the American staple, the waffle! What results is this dish served along side a red-chutney icecream and a coconut chutney mousse.

  • Kick-Ass Honey Chilli Potato: Not your usual street side chilli potato. Not even the method of making them is street style! Here, at Prankster, the potatoes are actually first pureed and the fine paste is rolled up into croquettes and fried. Resulting in a crunchy outer layer and a soft inner layer. The taste, bang on!

THE MAIN COURSE

  • Dal Makhani with Sour Cream Mousse: Now, we were pretty full with all the appetisers, but you can't really refuse a good old Dal Makhani and a Butter Naan.

  • Ghutwa Palak: I never thought Palak could taste this smooth. The dish was a complete overhaul of every memory I had of spinach!

THE DESSERT

Now, I only had just the one item for dessert which was the Mango Swiss Roll Casatta with a Mango Custard. The softest mango swiss roll I've ever had! The vibrant flavours were perfect to end the meal with!

THE VERDICT

In conclusion, Prankster is a complete experience. From the moment you set foot inside the place, you're transported back to your childhood. Nothing sings happy memories more than the good old desks and chairs of the place you spent 12 years at. Here's to the happy life. Here's to Prankster!

BEAUTIFUL NORTH EASTERN AND TIBETAN FOOD IN CHAMPA GALI!

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

EVENINGS ARE NOW LIT! - Review - LIT BAR AND RISTORANTE

Image
LIT BAR AND RISTORANTE, GK3 Greater Kailash 3, or Masjid Moth, is the lesser known cousin of the other GKs. is the posh one. Not that GK1 or GK2 are any less, but my God, is GK3 beautiful. With restaurants like Mainland China, The Velvet Room and LIT, GK3 is a very well hidden treasure. Talking about modern, sharp and abstract beauty, LIT Bar and Ristorante fits right in! You're welcomed by sharp edges on the exterior and a wall with microherbs and plants that spell out LIT. As soon as you step through the elegant barricading, you're greeted by subtle hues of blue and shades of grey. 50 of them. (Ooh. Mood set.) Along with great smooth mattes, the LEDs and the furniture adds to the experience as well. There are two floors, and plenty of seating areas. The DJ plays some beautiful tunes to set the mood. There's plenty of natural light for your Insta worthy photos as well! There's fantastic service as well. The menus are LIT too! LITERALLY. Ther

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
