Rendezvous

  For ages and beyond Indian people have had the urge to sit in Central Perk, sip on some fresh brewed Latte and ask people of their age group, "How you doin?" Unfortunately for them, they look like Nirahua Rikshawala rather than Joey Tribbiani, they say " Aur bhaiiiii kahan chali? " instead of the famous catchphrase and they have their local chai wala on the nukkad rather than Central Perk. Now, you cannot give someone the charisma of Joey Tribianni by making them binge on 10 seasons of Friends, but you can give them a cafe that is lively and that plays smooth jazz over the speaker system. How You Brewing?   is the metaphorical amazement that gives you the opportunity to sip on some hot coffee, eat some muffins or croissants, or some Paappe if you're desi. Located in East of Kailash, near the famous Street Food Mecca, Amar Colony, How You Brewing has an outlook that is hard to miss. Massive green doors and windows and a bright sign that says the n...

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".

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...

THE JUNCTION, HAUZ KHAS When you're travelling from Dilli Haat at INA towards Hauz Khas Village, the road can look very distracting. Why? Because of the sights and sounds of The Junction. A beautifully lit sign that reads the name of the establishment along with a few others in the vicinity. The entrance to The Junction is a sight in itself, with an archway covered in flowers and a garden that opens up to the exteriors of the eateries. Graffiti laid walls and a tree with lanterns. The perfect place to get a date if you can. THE AMBIENCE The mood inside The Junction is a very rustic place, with minimal interior decoration. The concrete walls and pillars are left the way they are. No plastering on the walls gives he place a rugged look, perfect for the name of the place. However, if you are someone who wishes to see a good amount of beauty, the exteriors are well lit up and offer a freshness that the interiors may not, given the smoke of Hookah. But if you are with go...
