Tandoori mushrooms: Tangy and spicy mushrooms which are juicy as well. Dahi ke sholey: They are deep fried yes but airy and light at the same time. Not to forget the creamy insides with the balance between the sweetness of yogurt and the scovian factor of green chillies. Cheese Burst Soya Chaap: As if the…

Winter special – Dehradun and Mussoorie diaries
I could never understand the fondness associated with Mussoorie amongst the hearts of the north Indians. In the 29 years of my not-so-boring life, I had never been in Mussoorie for than an hour and that too whilst visiting some village while crossing it. And the title of “Queen of the Hills”? Maybe the Britishers…
Amritsari Swaad – the Punjabi food festival at K3, JW Marriot, Aerocity
A traditional cuisine specific food festival has a special place in my heart. Especially when that cuisine is from the Punjabi heartland of our country. So when JW Marriot, Aerocity comes up with an Amritsari Swaad Tadka at their famed K3, could I have said no? Absolutely no! Starting from perfectly smoked Kandhari Paneer Tikka,…
Corn Village and Landour Exploration curated by Transforming Travels
Call it co-incidence, but I have been travelling more frequently to Uttarakhand this year than I ever did before. And although I am not really fond of the pebble laden trails here, the distinct Pahadi culture never fails to baffle me. And the fact that the magnificent views here are still hidden from my prying…
First sojourn in the North-East India
We yearn for the mesmerising landscapes of Scotland and Europe which are sans the human presence and reflect the nature in its pristine glory. But do we ever wonder that similar geographical escapades are very much present in our country as well, we only have to seek them to relish them. Time and again, I…
Sassy Begum, Greater Kailash 1, New Delhi
Veg Shikampur kebabs: Mellow and fibrous kebabs with a dominant sweetness, the first bite will keep you wondering and the subsequent ones will flabbergasted you with a multitude of flavours. Not to be missed: the hotness of green chillies and garam masala. Dum Ka Murg: I was honestly surprised by the number of chicken pieces…
Junkyard cafe, Saket
So I finally visit this junkyard themed cafe in the prime location behind Select City Walk. This place is specifically meant for those groovy weekends where you can come with your mates and relax with more than a glass of alcohol while listening to the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s chartbusters in the genre of Rock…
You got served, East of Kailash, New Delhi
Delivery: On time Packaging: Hygienic and spill proof Chicken Tikka: The ideal chicken tikka should be drenched in the tikka spices to the core, should be juicy and tangy. This one fulfilled all these criteria but was slightly salty. But I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. Afghani chicken tikka/Chicken malai tikka: Lord, please save me from…
Biryani Project, Greater Kailash 2, New Delhi
Delivery: On time Packaging: Hygienic and attractive. Lucknawi Biryani: I shall stop myself from comparing this one with the authentic one from Lucknow. But I feel that till date, it is one of the very few Biryanis which is slightly closer to the original Lucknawi. The long grained aromatic rice, some of them drenched in…
Carnatic Café, Sector 15, Gurgaon
Let us please move over the likes of Sagar Ratnas, the Uddupis and the Bhawans when it comes to pure vegetarian South Indian cuisine. We, the Delhiites, the north Indians are least bit aware about the home made delicacies prepared in the Karnataka region. And that is where the sorcery of Carnatic café comes in….
