AWADHI AFFAIR, GREATER KAILASH 1

The first month of 2018 gives you the perfect opportunity to check things off of your bucket list. Awadhi Affair in GK had been on my list ever since my sister started sending photos of their food on "Humara Parivar". (Don't judge. Every family has a WhatsApp group.)

And I did get a chance to order last night and boy were the portions amazing. For a family of four, any 4 dishes plus breads would be perfect. You might want to take into consideration that there will be food left over for the next day as well.

Coming to the packing of the food itself, it was, honestly, one of the best I have ever seen. Everything came nicely tucked into a cardboard parcel which seemed spillproof. And further, the individual items were in microwavable, spill proof containers as well. They really hate spills I guess. But damn, it took us some effort to finally get to our food. STOP MAKING ME WAIT AWADHI AFFAIR. But was the wait worth it? YES.

THE MEAL

The food was hot when it arrived (EVEN AFTER MY STRUGGLES WITH THE TAPE ON THE PANEER). There wasn't anything missing! The cutlery and the famous chutney-pyaaz combo were in small containers as well. To kick off our meal we went with Bharwan Soya Chaap which was a version of the Malai Chaap but stuffed with what seemed like some sort of masala. Not too spicy, there wasn't enough contrast in the actual marination and the filling itself. The chaap had gone a little too soggy too. But this is probably the only setback of the entire meal!

Next, the Doodhiya Murgh Tikka, or better known at other places as the Murgh Malai Tikka, not only had  the perfect amount of cream, but also spice. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the pieces were massive. Leaving me, my brother and father fighting for the last piece.

Finally, the main course included what seemed to be Pulao but were mentioned on the menu as Veg Biryani. But I'm not complaining because my mother, the only vegetarian present, absolutely loved it. Loaded with veggies and served alongside a raita, which was pretty good in its own right. The curries included a Paneer Aap Ki Pasand: Kadhai, because they had other options of Do Pyaaza, Lababdaar and Palak. The gravy was smooth and my mother loved it too! My favourite dish of the day had to be the Awadhi Affair Handi Chicken. It was massive pieces of chicken, cooked in a mutton-like gravy but with chicken keema. The amount of chicken in the dish was heavenly. There is still enough left over for the weekend! I could have just the gravy and would be satisfied with my chicken intake.

THE VERDICT

Boy was I impressed by this outlet. I'm glad I got this off of my checklist and there is no question about me ordering from this place again. It was magic. True to their tagline, it was indeed Food For Nawabs!

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

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
