[Rated: 3.5/5] I’ve never been to the old Sundance Café, but I did visit the restaurant when it was called Che Grill & Bar. This restaurant which was a part of the Eros building was then a complete disappointment. Last week, I visited Café Sundance, the not-so-new continental restaurant that repl…
[Rated: 2.0/5] As I entered R.E.D., even though the aroma wasn’t pleasing and was smelling of fresh furniture, the clean ambience pleasantly stunned me. I was expecting anything but the neatly laid out table in a comforting atmosphere. The village market on the Gold Souk road has transformed, and…
[Rated: 3.5/5] In an attempt to reach out to more customers in Gurgaon, Fat Lulu’s has started a much more reasonably priced take away which now offers exciting sounding starters, sandwiches and pizza slices at their new Galleria outlet. I am here to taste some of the offerings. I start by tastin…
[Rated: 3.5/5] Italia, the (as you may have guessed) Italian eatery at DLF Promenade is a brand owned by Park hotel. It is a fresh looking bistro style restaurant which could turn into a vibrant place during busy days. The exposed white brick walls and large mirrors with a lot of natural light ad…
[Rated: 4.5/5] Buddha-Bar made its beginning in Paris in 1996. It is a popular bar and lounge internationally, standing for the ultimate cool, with a well-heeled, fashion conscious clientele. Being sensitive to the Buddhist sensibilities in India and a few other Asian countries, the management ha…
An ordinary Thursday evening saw Pawan Soni and I seated at the Konomi Japanese restaurant at the Trident Hotel, Gurgaon, taking a sneak peak at Konomi’s set menu specially drawn up for the Restaurant week scheduled from the 1st to the 10th of April 2013. The event is promoted by Citibank to indu…
Vodka has been one of my favourite poisons, as this is light and hence can be had at any time of the day. It can be mixed with variety of mixers and goes well in most cocktails. I have never been fond of any brand as such, but I avoid some of those which give…
La Riviera, the fine-dining only restaurant at the Pullman’s Central Park hotel on MG Road, Gurgaon was where I was headed to on the evening of last Friday. The dark and unimpressive approach meandering through the marble dealers is discouraging until you happen upon the bright lights of the unpr…
[Rated: 3.5/5] Kylin is a known and loved name for Pan-Asian food in Delhi, and while it has been in Gurgaon for some time, it skipped my attention. The restaurant is located in the club house of MGF Palm Springs and as expected is only meant for the residents and their guests. The USP for…
[Rated: 3.0/5] I am intrigued with the term Molecular gastronomy which now a days seems to be a growing fad amongst Delhi restaurants, not so much in food as much in cocktails and drinks. This is my second invite to taste molecular cocktails within a week, which ratifies my observation. I arrive…
[Rated: 2.5/5] Think Madhuban and an imagery of a lush green forest is what the mind conjures up. The last thing I would have associated Madhuban with was food from the south of India. Being a South Indian it isn’t very often that I visit restaurants that serve south Indian cuisine. Madhuban – Sa…
What makes two persons, one office-weary and the other driverless-weary to hit the 7 o’clock evening traffic on a mundane Wednesday? An opportunity to taste the new Cocktail Club menu, being introduced by Smoke House Grill, at GK II, New Delhi. Braving the mad rush of office-goers seeking the com…
