Mughal Mahal Gurgaon - Losing its touch

Image
Mughal Mahal Gurgaon Review, SCO 46, Sector 31, Gurgaon Mughal Mahal Gurgaon opened its doors a few years back. Till then, I was a diehard lover of Mughal Mahal Rajendra Place ‘s food. Read, Butter Chicken Boneless. Actually! To think of it I still am. Its sumptuously fantastic and still retains its old world charm and employees. So when Mughal Mahal Gurgaon opened, I was thrilled – same amazing food delivered right at my doorstep. The restaurant wasn’t done bad either when it came to ambience. We could all go together for a family dinner to the joint. A couple of years later, the once two storied Mughal Mahal Gurgaon restaurant gave away its ground floor to a Subway franchise. There were no worries since the first floor continued to operate and serve delicacies similar to the Rajendra Place outlet. I continued with my patronage though the signs of depletion were evident. A debacle would soon happen, I thought and it still hasn’t luckily. I was in the vicinity of Sector 31 with a fri

Holy Smoke Cyber Hub - Smokin' Black

Holy Smoke Cyber Hub Review, Cyber Hub, DLF Cyber City, Gurgaon Holy Smoke Cyber Hub is yet another addition to the G-Town American restaurants. As a contrast to brightly done American diners, Holy Smoke Cyber Hub is a distant cousin taking inspiration from dark diners of Brooklyn . The restaurant is based on a meat rail theme.

However, the suave Managing Director, Rohan Jaina was all out to please us. As I was the last one to arrive, I offered my apologies and joined the table. I don’t think the servers noticed the new addition to the table. As a result, my cover took its own time to arrive and so did the water. In the meantime we cursed the Gurgaon traffic and waited for food service to commence. The focus of Holy Smoke Cyber Hub is on meat and on grilled meats specifically. The menu is extensively meaty

California Connection - California Boulevard

California Boulevard Review, SCO 383 & 384, Sector 29, Gurgaon California Boulevard is a newbie on the Gurgaon restaurant scene. It is Located in sector 29, right behind the IFFCO Chowk Metro Station. California Boulevard has adequate parking outside and ample space within. As I entered I had Hollywood Stars right at me feet. Guess I saved my money by stepping on the “ Hollywood Walk of Fame ” right here in Gurgaon. California Boulevard is the brainchild and second avatar of seasoned hospitality professional Rajan Sethi. The doors to California Boulevard, Gurgaon opened just a few days back. The first and other California Boulevard is located in Rajouri Garden, Delhi. Both restaurants have iconic Harley Davidson motorbikes parked outside which look classy and very American. I was expected for the review, though there was a confusion on the name. The smartly turned out receptionist checked and escorted me inside the precincts. I wasn’t impressed at all with the first look. The inte
