Rendezvous

Since the beginning of time, there have been restaurants and there have been mothers who refuse to go to said restaurants because ' Bahar kyu khana jab ghar mei AC chala ke kha sakte ho?' But this very idea of ordering from a restaurant was a daunting task. Just the thought of talking to a random stranger and telling him that you want a Naan without Butter sent shivers down my spine. However, online ordering changed the entire game. You place your order over the internet and you can even pay online! This cutshorts your interaction with any human being to just 3 seconds, from when you open the door to taking the food from the delivery person. (INTROVERTS REJOICE SILENTLY) There is no chance of getting your order or address wrong, and if you do, the service of these online food ordering apps is brilliant. Getting a refund has never been easier. The sort of warm food with kind of soggy fries is worth sitting in the comfort of your own home. However, with su...

SANDOZ, CONNAUGHT PLACE First, let me tell you about the first time my friend told me she's going to Sandoz with her family. I'd heard about the place and seen its boards throughout Connaught Place and I told her "Isn't that the place that is trying to copy Nandos with the name?" And she told me "No, it's a pretty good family restaurant." This is probably the idea most people have when it comes to unknown classics throughout the capital of the nation. Sandoz has been serving up great Indian food in the heart of Delhi, Connaught Place since forever. And it shows in the kind of food they serve as well as the simplicity of the place. THE AMBIENCE Sandoz has a very warm tone to the colors of the place. There are multiple paintings and portraits of yesteryear and the tables and chairs to match. The uniform of the waiters is a simple shirt and pants whilst they serve you with the brightest smile you've ever seen. It feels like yo...

YUM CHI, VIJAY NAGAR New Delhi is a cauldron of cultures. It has been influenced by every immigrant family that has stepped foot into this great city. And one such culture is the Chinese and Tibetan culture. The food has been greatly influenced by the same and one of their classics has taken over the city by storm by the name "Momo". And somewhere along the line, the authentic Chinese cuisine has been lost. The Delhi-Street-Chinese has taken us to chilli potato, chilli chaap, chowmein, spring rolls and away from the Thukpa, Dimsums and Kotheys. But one restaurant in Vijay Nagar near North Campus of the University of Delhi aims to get people the real taste of the orient. AMBIENCE Yum Chi in Vijay Nagar transports you to the hills of Tibet and the decor is subtle and calming. The flags waving across the roof, the wooden flooring and tables to match the beautiful lights running across the restaurant make for a beautiful setting. The service is friendly and...

If you're in a Tandoori Momos Cult, you HAVE to try the ones they serve at QDs. Whether you like it or not, is a different story in the book. I don't want to make this review about the battle of Tandoori Momos in Delhi, but I have to. Because of the polarizing power of these maida-balls of goodness. A single person WILL NOT like both, the ones from QDs and the ones from Hunger Strike. There is a stark difference in the way both are prepared. QDs serves 6 pieces for 150 bucks. Pieces that are massive and dry. But will fill you up nonetheless. Hunger Strike, on the other hand, bathes it's Tandoori Momos in Ghee, Cream and all the tandoori goodness you associate with typical North Indian Tikka-Shikkas. 8 small, but heavy and creamy, pieces that will fill you up too. All for 100 bucks. It's the typical case of 'shaadi ka laddoo jo khaye wo pachtaye aur jo naa khaye wo bhi pachtaye'. You HAVE to travel across Delhi to pick your favorite. ...
