56 Ristorante Italiano, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon

Image
56 Ristorante Italiano Review, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon 56 Ristorante Italiano is located in the atrium of commercial building by the name of Vatika Atrium. The space for this Italian restaurant has been very intelligently acquired & developed between two wings of the building. Quite like its sister restaurants Jing and Coriander Leaf, there is a dominant use of glass at 56 Ristorante Italiano as well. The high ceiling (56 feet is the height, hence the name) and stained glass mosaics indeed makes one reminisce of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. The soaring palm trees in their marble dotted containers and promenade styled seating certainly recreates the atmosphere of an chic Italian street cafĂ©. I was there this gone Sunday with some classmates from school to devour their Sunday Brunch buffet. The restaurant was pleasantly full – a sign of a good restaurant. We were seated without any delay and water was served almost immediately too. We all decided to hit the brunch buffet and

Bisque Bakery, Central Arcade, DLF Phase II, Gurgaon

Bisque Bakery Review, Central Arcade, DLF Phase II, Gurgaon Bisque Bakery in Central Arcade is right in my neighbourhood of DLF City Phase II, Gurgaon. Its been standing tall since more than a decade now. I have been a regular here for breads, salads, a quick snack, meal or just an evening cuppa coffee. Bisque is a bit more than just a bakery or Bakerie and Patisserie as they call themselves. It can actually be classified as a dainty cafe as well. Besides scrumptious baked goodies, Bisque also serves a not so wide array of soups, salads, burgers, pastas, and a few pre-plated main meals. Do remember the coffee they serve is machine made Lavazza, which is not bad for once in a while. The reasons that draw people to Bisque are simple & numerous. First , there is not another bakery of any standing around in DLF City, Phase II, Gurgaon. This is very unlike Arjun Marg Market in DLF City, Phase I, Gurgaon where there are multiple bakeries. Second , their stuff is always fresh whether its

Moets Curry Pot, Central Arcade, DLF Phase II, Gurgaon

Moets Curry Pot Review, Central Arcade, DLF Phase II, Gurgaon I never thought about writing a review of Moet’s Curry Pot, Central Arcade. Maybe I never realised it that I should have. “Chirag tale andhera” but it should be “Jahan jage wahin sawera”; hence this review was essential. :D. Moet’s is like my neighbourhood jaunt and I dine in and order in from them quite frequently. Its a family friendly place with lot of room for a celebration or a casual meal. This kind of a restaurant often reminds me of Mughal Mahal Rajendra Place ; our favourite neighbourhood haunt when we were growing up. The menu @ Moets Currypot Gurgaon is exhaustive and covers Indian, Chinese & Lebanese cuisines. A bit of a hotch-potch as some may feel but the flavours of their dishes do blend in well. Not once I have had a chance to complain about food at Moets Currypot Gurgaon. My order usually comprises of platters which are undoubtedly awesome and wholesome – reasonably priced too. This is usual unless I am

Cafe Bali Hai, Cross Point Mall, DLF Phase 4

Cafe Bali Hai Review, Cross Point Mall, Near Galleria, DLF Phase IV, Gurgaon Bali Hi – The Night Club @ the rooftop of ITC Maurya was one of my favourite haunts for decadent Chinese food before it shut down unceremoniously. My thoughts always went to Bali Hi every time I crossed the doors of Cafe Bali Hai located at Cross Point Mall, Opposite Galleria, DLF Phase 4, Gurgaon. I cannot even call Cafe Bali Hai a distant cousin. There is just no parallel to Bali Hi even if people use the abridged names for their eateries. But well here two of us were last evening to savour the Pan Asian Cuisine Cafe Bali Hai has to offer. If I say, we stepped in with trepidation, we really did. The lighting seemed really dimmed out and switched off in one corner. The restaurant was sparsely occupied and light music was playing so there was a calm of sorts. We were not greeted at the door nor were we shown to a table. Though, when we sat down on a floating swing table (luckily firmed to the wall), the men
