Restaurant Review : Smokey’s BBQ & Grill, Cyber Hub, Gurgaon – 5/5 Star

14

Two things I always crave for.. Good Food & Good Friends, and when one of my friend called me on one fine Sunday for lunch at Smokey’s BBQ and Grill for me it was hard to say no.

Although I am a pure vegetarian and having some apprehensions about the place famous for its meaty dishes but some how my friend convinced me that there are ample options available for the vegetarians.

Surrounded by big names, this place is really Amazing with rustic decor and lounge-cum-dinning seating style. The food is just another plus to the incredible ambiance and service.

– Smokey’s style potato burger and
– Grilled veg + couscous hot dog.

Heard a lot about this outlet and its food from my foodie friends. So recently when I was in CP with family I decided to give it a try. I am a big fan of Delhi street food and like spicy meals. Compare to Delhi, Bombay ( yes, for me it is still Bombay ) street food is totally different. Less spicy with different flavour.
It was an early evening so we just ordered some snacks.

1.Vada Pao – It was just enough warm to eat. Portion size was too small. Taste average. (3/5)
2.Pav bhaji – Good taste but less spicy compare to Delhi version. (4/5)
3.Dhokla Papdi Chat – Portion size was good. Enough for 2 people. Loved it. (5/5)
4. Special Chinese Bhel – Something different. (3.75/5)

All the dishes were tasty and portion size was also more then enough.
And after all these, had Hot and tasty malai wall milk. 🙂

WP_20150222_001

Hidden Gem.. really .. if you disagree.. read more than 200 positive reviews and more than 400 votes.
After long time I have seen such a peaceful place to eat. ( because there is no Bar ) Each nick and corner is decorated with passion and tastefully. Seating is comfortable and staff is humble and attentive.
They serve not only Italian but also serve Chinese, Mexican and Indian. I ordered several veg dishes and surprised with the authenticity of the taste.

Eat, Love , Fun…. ambience, atmosphere, vibrant, music, cocktails, food, hospitality, concept..innovative, Cartoons on the wall, focused lighting thru lampshades..,  No doubt its my kind of place.


Extensive alcoholic and non-alcoholic menu and in case you are confused.. just ask for Bartender’s special Mocktail …….. its superb and very refreshing .

Food, .. just wow… wide variety of veg starters to choose from ( I am a vegetarian-:)  

       Delicious Chili Paneer which was of extremely soft Paneer.

       Crispy from outside and creamy/soft from inside Dahi ke Kabab served with green Chutney .

       Creamy spaghetti with olives

       Pahadi ( पहाड़ी ) Menu was a surprise.  मसालेदार Wai Wai with Tabasco Sauce was just great.

       Paneer tikka thin crust pan pizza with onions and paneer was OK type..

       In dessert , I had brownie with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce.

Elf also hosts ‘ Live it Up’ , 7 to 10 pm .. a new concept where anyone can perform front of a live audience sitting in Elf..

Met Mr Swaraj, the man behind Elf. I really impressed by his energy and passion about food and hospitality.

Restaurant Review: Mamagoto, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi – 3.5/5 Star

Visited Mamagoto on 3rd December for @zomato meat up and to review special menu prepared for us.
It was an opportunity to interact with fellow food reviewers of zomato family.

Its a unique place with good colorful decor and paintings. Mamgoto is known for their excellent variety Pan Asian cuisine.

From starters to the main course and desserts everything was excellent in taste and served by humble and polite staff..

Had a wide variety of special veg menu and I also tried their White Rum Cocktail and another whiskey based cocktail. Desserts were wonderful.

Overall good experience and made some good foodie friends.

Restaurant Review: Dunkin’ Donuts Vasant Vihar, New Delhi – 3.5/5 Star

010 (2)

Not really a fan of any Dunkin Donuts 🙂


The chained stores of Dunkin’ Donuts’ has great-tasting food and beverages, they include a wide variety of hot and iced coffee, teas, shakes, frozen drinks, lattes and cappuccinos. They do add drops of liquid flavors. These add calories to the drink.
Clean restaurant and attentive staff serves you with a friendly smile. You can sit enjoying your coffee and no one will bother you.
Ordered Spicy veg Burger and Chef’s Special veg Burger. Both were good but not  as great as I was expecting. Latte was not at par with CCD or Starbucks .
Got 2 Donuts free on my order 🙂 and both were fresh and really tasty & soft. ( Death by Chocolate and Bav Crm Chocolate)

Overall rating :
Ambiance : 4.5/5
Food : 3.5/5
Pricing : 3/5 ( Pricey)
