Qureshi Kebab Corner, Jama Masjid- Out of the world culinary experience

Making most of Ramzaan Time, we headed to Jama Masjid to discover some culinary and gastronomic experiences, we had no plans in mind as in where and what to eat and left decisions on impromptu gut feels. As we started walking down the lane, it was bustling with people and the aroma of kebabs and quorma's was in the air and almost every shop seemed to tempt, but this particular outlet had most rush and that increased our inquisitiveness and we thought of giving it a try. They were serving only seekh kebabs both beef and chicken and we started by ordering just 2 pieces of chicken seekh and what a pleasantly delectable experience it was. The kebabs were mouth watering, delicious, scrumptious, amazing, awesome and just out of this world. Very soft, tender and succulent, they were literally melting in the mouth. From 2 seekhs for just trying, we ended up ordering 4 more and relishing it with roomali rotis. I highly recommend this place, one must visit and try their kebabs and you will want to go back every now and then.

Restaurant Review- IC's Hotel, Jamia Nagar

“Never Judge A Book By Its Cover” a very famous saying that sometimes really holds true in practical aspects of life. I recently went to this eatery called IC’s Hotel and no other phrase can describe this place better. It's a small hotel situated in the hustling bustling street of Jamia Nagar and may be just because of the location and the surroundings you will end up giving it a skip, but I assure you, once you open the door and enter the property, you will be very pleasantly surprised. Its chic, classy and very appropriate to take the entire family out for relishing a authentic mughlai cuisine. There is no dirth of outlets/restaurants serving authentic Mughlai Cuisine in Jamia, but there are not many places where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the meals with entire family, most other restaurants don't have appropriate sitting space and environment, but this place is definitely different.

Summer Cookshop by Chef in a box

CHEF IN A BOX (CIAB) is a new concept to re-create chef style dishes at home with the help of professional chefs themselves. The idea is conceptualized and curated by Gayatri Iyer, a young dynamic entrepreneur, who wants to express her love for food. The concept is one step ahead of the online delivery of ordering cooked food right at your doorsteps.

The idea helps consumers to order recipe kits that include all the measured ingredients and clear steps of instructions for cooking. The USP is that it comes directly from a Chef/restaurant's kitchen to ensure authenticity and quality of the ingredients, so the Chefs do the shopping for you (literally!). Currently the market space that Chef In A Box caters to is Delhi-NCR (currently delivering in South Delhi, West Delhi and Gurgaon).  It aims at giving people a chance to cook exotic dishes such as Khao Suey, Mutton Kosha and Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins to name a few, just like the experts. They have the flexibility to simply follow the instructions or use their creativity to add some twists to the recipe.

Timeless Tawang

Breathing lowers, eyes get transfixed and soul flies off leaving the senses spellbound. Nothing seems breath taking as the 400 years old monastery looming across the horizon. Perched at a height above 12,155ft and having drenched in quintessential aura of Buddhism, this land of Monpa Tribe is nestled in the knolls of dawn-lit mountains. Nuzzled in the icy folds of higher Himalayan foothills of North Easthern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, Tawang is scarcely populated mountainous track lying roughly on the northwest extreme. Mesmerising lofty mountains, clear sparkling lakes, deep gorges, exquisite Gompas and quaint villages shade this tinsel town as the basket of adventure. The high altitude bare mountains, uninhabited hilly belt ranging from 6000 ft to 11,000.ft comprising of plateau and sparsely populated narrow valleys graduates Tawang as the Mecca of trekkers and hikers.

Restaurant Review- Chili's @Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj

Once in a blue moon comes a chance, where you visit an eating joint and end up falling in love with each and everything that the place has to offer. I experienced the same when I visited Chili’s at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj. It was truly a wonderful experience and I cannot simply get over it, the food, the ambience, the hospitality, everything was top notch.

Ambience was very comfortable and vibrant, with adequate lighting; somehow I don't like places that have dim lighting, as I love seeing food in its true colours as much as I enjoy eating it.
