Rendezvous

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...

Have you ever been to a place that made you think " aisa ghar hi toh chahiye" ? If not, you've never been to Cafe Wink  in Sreshtha Vihar. This place is what dreams are made of. If I weren't a happy heterosexual male, I'd be proposing to this fine piece of architecture left, right and centre. Cafe Wink is a prime example of you eat with your eyes first  with it's simple, victorian-ish decor and the effort that has gone into it with its ambiance is impeccable. The place stands out in what seems perhaps the West Delhi of East Delhi, Anand Vihar. The place is located next to DAV School and can easily be spotted because it is the most beautiful place in the area. It's like spotting Eminem in a group of generic black rappers. Coming to the service, the staff is super friendly. If I had a daughter, mai uska haath de deta inhe. Because I know they know how to take care of someone. They always served us with a smile. Gems. :') Nex...
