Best Restaurants in Gurgaon

Much has changed since I shifted to Gurgaon over five years ago. The high rises have multiplied, Offices are much swankier, Roads are much crowded and there is no dearth of good eating out places. Earlier, a good restaurant would have taken us on the roads to Delhi. Not anymore. Nor does anyone want to travel great distance for a routine meal, but that shouldn’t be the reason to deprive us of a good outing.

Since on an average I receive couple of queries daily on the places to go for a particular cuisine, I have compiled my suggestions which should come handy for the readers.

I keep eating out often, but the list may still be constrained by my limitation of not having tried some good outlets. Hence the list would be updated every two months to keep it fresh and useful. For a detailed review of the outlet, click on the restaurant name.

Wish you happy eating and will look forward to your comments and suggestions. Your inputs may be sent to reviews@indianfoodfreak.com

      BTW, have visited Howzzat and liked it. Will update the list shortly.

  2. Check out Rred Hot Cafe, Central Point, Sushant Lok ! …enjoyed their Thai and Chinese dishes.

    Try Tunde Kebabi at Qutb Plaza market for melting galouti kebabs.

    And Calcutta rolls and Calcutta biryani from ‘calcutta’s chef'(takeaway) in Galleria next to Super Bakery.

  3. This list is abso brilliant am sure you did visit these places as the items listed is surely the must to have in gurgaon. There are some more you should add in your must to have list.

    1) Quereshi DLF1- chicken malai tikka roll
    2) Changezi DLF3 (though he has given his frachise to someone local) but must try butter tandoori and changezi chicken
    3) Delhi 6 chat- Sector 51
    4) Sakley’s cafe – In galeria – sandwich is must to have thr
    5) Orange chopsticks – Infospace towers – Sec 21
