Rendezvous

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...

For ages your friends might have been promising you chai pe charcha but somehow you never got around to pick a place. Well, this beautiful, clean and vibrant place in Sainik Farms is serving a A MILLION types of tea! Well, not a million but you get the point. Over 50 from what I could count. The Red Kettle  is a beautiful outlet opposite Champa Gali next to Saket Metro Station. It has a beautiful walk way that is beautifully lit and has the feel of a romantic movie. Let's say everything that is NOT a Yash Raj Film. To begin with, we ordered the popcorn chicken . Served on skewers, these little pops of flavour were served with a yogurt dip which was fresh and light and vibrant! Perfect pairing with the popcorn chicken! The food at The Red Kettle is fresh and so full of flavour. The Masala Fries were perhaps the best french fries I've had in 2019. The fries were crisp on the outside and ever so soft on the inside. The hot sauce served with the fries and ...

"CP milte hai, phir decide karte hai kahan jana hai" This is exactly hat Delhites say whenever they plan to go someplace to eat. Connaught Place, the centre of the city, is infamous for having really expensive places to eat at. So much so that people can't really decide where to eat so they end up going to either a fast food joint or conquering the crowd at Rajiv Chowk to go someplace else. But the LARGEST PROPERTY IN CP is offering you a chance to be mesmerized by it's food, music and ambiance! Ministry of Beer at M Block, Outer Circle is a beautiful place for you and your friends to try out. IT IS MASSIVE! With floors upon floors of seating space, MOB has outdoor seating, booths, barstools and more! Coming to the food, they serve everything! North Indian, Chinese, Continental and a few fusion dishes they've perfected. My personal favourite from their sister outlet at Gurgaon is the Pull Apart Garlic Bread. Here at MOB, Connaught Place...

PATTA CAFE, CHAMPA GALI   Patta Cafe is hidden away in the most scenic of places that Delhi has to offer, Champa Gali. It's a beautiful cafe with loads of colors to boast. The open area outside the door is perfect for Instagram worthy content as well! As soon as you enter, the vibe calms you down. It's like you've been transported to some hillside café in the North Eastern foothills. The decor, the music, the food, Patta Cafe is all about the roots! Their menu justifies the same. They have a variety of cuisine including Tibetan, Naga, Bhutanese and Chinese. I would like to take this moment to first mention Tenzin, the friend of the owner who waited our table at Patta Cafe. He was the sweetest server possible. He suggested we try some of the more authentic dishes that they had to offer. So we went with what he suggested. We went for the Tsampa Shake, which I did not try at Ama Cafe in Majnu Ka Tila because they said it's made from wheat. But here I went with w...

FRESC CO, GURGAON Malls are a tough cookie to crack. Your girlfriend makes you walk around all day, holding her bags in one hand while she sips on a Latte Grande from Starbucks, which she got just to walk around with the cup in her hand. Now, when she's tired of clicking photos in the trial rooms of expensive brands and getting those photos to Jawahar Bhaiya in Saket to stitch the exact same thing in a quarter of the price, you guys need a place to eat. But a mall is littered with fast food joints that just don't make the cut, and high-end restaurants that all look the same. WHAT A DILEMMA! But Fresc Co is here to solve all your problems by offering quite possibly the cleanest, freshest and healthiest food in Ambience Mall, in Gurgaon. Fresc Co looks like its straight out of some teenage girl's dream of Santorini, Greece. The beautiful white ambiance and clean decor makes sure you're ready to step away from the Lachha Paranthas and Dal Makhanis. A...

THE BIRYANI PROJECT, GREATER KAILASH 2 Biryani is something that us Delhites have taken to heart. All of us have our own favorite places that serve biryani. And with more than a handful of new joints opening up everywhere, it's hard to pick your one true savior. Whenever you're craving for that handi full of rice, loaded with fried onions and doused with chunks of chicken on the bone, you end up getting it from your nearest "Moradabadi Biryani" store that has a neon sign and just a pateela full of regular old rice and some chicken. They measure it out and serve it to you in disposable plates. Why settle for anything less than a methodically prepared, systematically generated, meticulously synthesized handi of Biryani? The Biryani Project  in Greater Kailash is a result of years of trying and testing and tasting! The people behind this venture have been all across India, trying out various Biryanis the country has to offer. And no no no, they don't ju...

DHABA - A PUNJABI THEME I've always been amazed by the very idea of dining raw, dining ethnic, dining desi. The best possible experience I've had of dining like that would be in Chowki Dhani in Jaipur. And it is really tough to recreate that experience of getting close to our desi roots. However, this beautiful joint in Rajouri Garden states it plain and simple right in its name. Dhaba - A Punjabi Theme is, as the beautifully thought of name that must have taken them ages to think of suggests, a Punjabi Themed restaurant that looks like a Dhaba. MIND = BLOWN. Well, the name is a spoiler for what awaits you inside, but the door of the place is very distinct. It has two massive statues of what seem to be Pharaohs. Well, okay, Punjab may have had Pharaohs for all we know but we were too busy focusing on the Bhangra. Dhaba has a dining hall on two floors and a banquet/ party hall as well. The dining hall that we sat in was very homely. It felt like we were at our Ludh...
