 DECODE, RAJOURI GARDEN

There isn't a place in New Delhi that is thriving with new diners and cafes more than Rajouri Garden. As soon as one shuts down, a new one opens up. Another entry to this array of restaurants is Decode, touting itself to be a Social Diner. It serves great café style food, while trying to put a new twist on every classic there is.

AMBIENCE AND SERVICE

Decode has a very neolothic ambience. With the walls having LED strips to mark edges and make everything look sharp. There are parts of the restaurant which are dark, making it perfect for some drinks and enjoyment, while some parts are littered with natural light, making it pleasant for family dining.
The Ground Floor
There are three floors to the restaurant, each similar to one another. There are glass bottles on the walls as decor and plenty of paintings depicting some sort of puzzle (hence the name "Decode"). The servers all wear matching clothes and look as sharp as ever with their formal attire.

 THE FOOD

 I came to Decode aiming to eat very little, in order to not gain a lot, however I was taken by surprise with the amazing quality of the food and the flavours of their combinations. Every dish was a classic, turned on its head.

 We started off with some Rajma Chawal Croquettes. To my surprise, this vegetarian dish was not the usual stuff of peasants. The thing that your mom makes, was turned into this modern version which was crusted and then fried. Served with some sort of Achari Dip, this made Rajma Chawal fun! Definitely a great vegetarian dish.

Next up, we ordered the Chicken Malai Tikka and the Thai Chicken Tikka. Both of which were great chicken dishes. The Thai Chicken Tikka was topped with fried lotus stem and had a spicy tone, while the Malai Tikka was smooth and creamy.

The Lamb Chops were somewhat average here. The lamb itself had gone dry. This made it chewy and harder to eat.

On next was the highlight dish of the day. It was vegetarian, but unexpectedly good. What I thought were Pulled Chicken Quesadillas, turned out to be Kathal Quesadillas! Damn! The cheesy, saucy, meaty quesadillas were cooked well and had a nice kick of spice. Served along with a beautiful red salsa, it made my meal complete.

Finally, to cap everything off, we got the Chocolate Dome dessert. A pretty massive dome of chocolate, covering a hot fudgy brownie and some good old vanilla icecream. The steward came in and poured some hot white chocolate over it and the dome gave way to the creamy goodness inside it. The hot brownie along with the cold icecream made everything worth it!

THE VERDICT

 Decode in Rajouri Garden tries to make a name for itself in a market full of competition. It serves great café style food along with a few neo-classics. It'll be tough trying to stand out, but if they make it through, success won't be hard to decode.

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
