PAPAJI'S PIZZERIA, GREATER KAILASH 1 It's surprising to me how pizza is more often than not associated with a quick fix for calories and junk food that cannot be an experience as a whole. A new outlet in GK 1 is changing the status quo by not only delivering great pizza, but giving you the best kind there is... the Neapolitan Pizza! Papaji's Pizzeria (Papa Johns must watch out) is dishing out beautiful thick, loaded, cheesy and saucy pizzas which trump the regular old pan-hand tossed-deep dish-thin crust pizzas. Because when you want a true beautiful Italian experience, you have to get the best of Naples. One aspect of the delivery that I was really impressed by was the packaging. No square pizza boxes for round pizzas, the quirky octagonal box with your name written on it is a great touch. Similarly for the pasta, the packaging is spill proof and you get a glass bottle for your drinks! Very safe and sound, no matter how far away you order from. Now, to start off with I hav...

DIRTY APRON BY THE PIANO MAN, SAFDARJUNG One of the most iconic locations to ever open up in the national capital is The Piano Man. Great music, great vibes and great people! However, that is not all that The Piano Man has to offer. Dirty Apron by The Piano Man is the ultimate marriage of culture and cuisine as the symphony of flavours comes to your plate via the beautiful dishes and drinks being served at Dirty Apron. Located just above The Piano Man Jazz Club, Dirty Apron is a treat for the eyes as well. The bright and vibrant ambiance is a delight to sit in, and the staff is extremely polite and friendly. One highlight of your experience will be the music that would be playing in the speaker system, just perfect for a restaurant of this stature. Coming to the meal itself, we started off by ordering ourselves some beverages. The Guavatini  had the exotic flavor of guava and a chili kick to it. The perfect way to start your meal, refreshing and exciting! And the ...

MASIA -  SECTOR 38, NOIDA New Delhi, and the NCR, is no stranger to the influx of gastronomical inputs from other parts of the world. We have embraced whatever cultural inputs we've had from the various cuisines. But one particular cuisine has hit us hard ever since late 2000s. Before the Italian, Portuguese, American Tex-Mex, or even Middle-Eastern foods came to the streets of Delhi, there was good old Asian. Remembering the street side stalls of vendors tossing up Rs. 10-20 worth of desi chowmein, chili potato and spring rolls. The explosion of flavours and textures was a bliss when we used to go out after school with our friends. This robust and vibrant cuisine was the perfect compliment for the wide variety of Indian food available too! From the heavy and hot North Indian Tandoori snacks to the light and umami South Indian snacks. And nothing exemplifies this concoction of cuisines better than Masia, Indian. Asian. Cultures. THE AMBIENCE Masia, a venture by Sutra...
