Purani Delhi Express - Wholesome Homesome Food

By -

The Manchandas are not new to the food business. Mr C.P. Manchanda still operates his catering business out of New Delhi. So when the family moved to Gurgaon it was natural for the younger Nitesh Manchanda to follow his father’s footsteps. The result of which is Purani Delhi Express located on the ground floor of Sushant Tower, Sector 56, Gurgaon.


Purani Delhi Express is not about Purani Dilli ka khana, its more about wholesome homesome food that can be ordered in or taken away. Purani Delhi Express does not have a dine in facility. States Nitesh “We opted for a takeaway/ home delivery model to minimise costs since affording a dine in restaurant in a Shopping Mall would come with heavy rentals”. They however do outdoor caterings when an opportunity presents.


The phones do not stop ringing, the ranges do not slacken down and neither does the staff of twelve boys who Nitesh manages. As one looks into the kitchen there is action everywhere, not even one person is idling around. Lot of teamwork is visible. Purani Delhi Express has a decently crafted menu without an overdose and includes some Indian Chinese too. There are half & quarter portions (for non-veg mains only) available so one can eat as much as the pocket and the stomach permits.


I confess I am a Rajma addict and can eat them in whatever form – even kebabs. So that’s the first thing I usually check if its on the menu. Call it my yardstick for a good measure. Kashmiri Rajma (Rs.80{Full}-50{Half}) at Purani Delhi Express meets my expectations but does not exceed it. I can do with a bit more spice in it. Most of the food delivered by Purani Delhi Express is moderate on spices so works well for most people including children.


Their Tandoori Chicken (Rs. 220-120) is a hit with kids and adults all the same. Their Canteen Ki Dal (Rs.80-50) or Dal Fry is quite nice and full of flavour with the right kind of bite. Not to be missed is Bakre Ke Nakhre (Rs.410-210), a spicy but delectable preperation of tender mutton morsels in thick gravy and would go very well with their Mirch Paranthas (Rs.20). Albeit in my case they forgot to add mirch to the parantha so I was happy munching on the simple Lacha ones. Chicken Lababdar (Rs.340-180-110{Qtr}) is a good choice and comes in a rich gravy.


Purani Delhi Express also offers fixed rate Thalis (Rs.100 Veg; Rs.130 Non-Veg) and Rice Combos which work very well in case you are in a rush and want a substantial meal else you can simply pick up a roll (Rolls start from Rs.40) and run along. Being a take away/ home delivery outfit, they use foil casseroles and round plastic boxes which pretty much every other restaurant does as well. This bit is fairly standard.


“We want to expand” says Nitesh slowing taking out an advert of an upcoming investors meet that he intends to participate in hoping to raise funds and take his business to another level. All the best Nitesh – We hope you expand and keep feeding Gurgaon bellies with your good food.

By Economic Times – Flat sale of flu drugs hints at no unusual rise in infections Industry executives and chemists said the April sales data showed a month-on-month decline of 30-40%. But even though the lockdown is seen to be impacting sales of most drugs, the pattern for medicines for infections and flus is no different.Last Updated: Apr 30, 2020, 11.23 AM ISTAgenciesExperts said the decline in sales was primarily because of the lockdown and other restrictions which forced people to stay indoors.

Hrithik-Saif’s Vikram Vedha hits a roadblock

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
