THE WAFFLE HOUSE, SHALIMAR BAGH The past few years have seen a gust of innovation and change sweep over Delhi. Two years ago it was Momos, lately it has been Waffles! With a store selling these hot, fresh baked pockets of delish around every corner. One such outlet is The Waffle House at BB Block of Shalimar Bagh. THE AMBIENCE I visited The Waffle House on a freezing winter evening, with the skies dark and the wind chilling me to my core. But the fun, vibrant and warm appeal of The Waffle House made us sit on the chairs outside the outlet. The bright yellow of the place gave out a pretty positive vibe and warmed me up real nice. They played some pretty good music as well! Including Ed Sheeran and Justin Beiber (the good kind, not Baby for the love of all that's sacred and holy). There is a false grass carpet laid out the outlet and it adds to the chilled out ambience of the place. Adding to the festive season, they'd put out a Christmas Tree with d...

MY BAR HEADQUARTERS, CONNAUGHT PLACE Now, I don't drink or smoke, but I do enjoy the company of my dear friends. Thus, after hours of thinking about which place is spacious enough to accomodate 15 people on the go, we finally decided to climb up multiple fights of stairs to reach a timid little entrance way which opened up to a MASSIVE hall-esque place with neon boards hosting brand names and a dark EDM theme to the entire place. Although we had to wait outside, on the balcony to be seated, but that made for a perfect view of Connaught Place. Finally, when we were seated, we were greeted by the bright smile of the waiter. BUT THE ONE THING I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY DO PEOPLE ORDER FREAKIN CHILI POTATOES EVERY WHERE? Bhai, yeh sab gali ke bahar wale bhaiya ₹50 mei dete hai. If you're out someplace special, try their speciality. Anyway, we got some snacks and multiple chili potatoes and a pitcher of beer. NICE. For a non-drinker, seeing them put this big-as...

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. ...
