This was my first visit to the Global Food Factory where I met Mr. Diwaker, the extremely polite gentleman who greeted us at the Istanbul, Lahore (Pakistan) & Thailand cuisine inspired restaurant, Global Food Factory which opened in Oct 2014 amidst the bizarre crowds & restaurants of Rajouri Garden market.

The interiors are beautifully done with the walls of concrete & bricks adding to the charm. There is lots of warm & amber tone lighting. There are fun slogans on the walls which made it all the more interesting. There are chairs in newspaper printing, some red seats & white with lots of upbeat Hindi Punjabi & English music beats doing the house. I could only sit & admire the place as it was very nicely done with shelves in one corner (the front entrance facing wall), lots of colourful bottles & books and the beautiful & big bar counter where the mocktails & cocktails were being churned out with lots of new flavours & tastes. The restaurant also has a wood fire pizza oven in one corner which makes excellent pizzas. They have a very diverse menu that has room for all people of all age groups and all taste preferences.

To start with, we ordered a Kaffir Lime Iced Tea. The presentation was good & it was lovely to taste with fresh leaves in it. It was basically iced tea blended with Kaffir lime which was surprisingly lovely to sip & taste.

The next drink was Melon Magic which had watermelon & mint toppled with lemonade which was very cool & refreshing. It was a summer chiller with watermelon pieces in it & I felt lovely after drinking the icy cool drink.

We ordered Chicken Sweet Corn Chicken Soup which was not very spicy & had warm sweet thick consistency with finely chopped chicken & corn. It also had a nice taste of French beans along with sweet corn. A very flavourful soup!

Then we ordered the Turkish Style Chicken. It was a pan fried boneless chicken made in Turkish style. The chutney served along had more of mint content & was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy with all the seasonings put together in a less spicy manner.

The Malai Tikka was fleshy & had a mild flavour. It was very soft, mushy & hot. It tasted lovely as it was very well cooked & marinated in mild spices.

The Veg. Lahori Kebab were deep fried kebabs made with curd, soybeans & vegetables. They were very tasty & done nicely with the curd nicely blended with soybeans. The taste was fab & undoubtedly was my favourite starter here as they were just so soft with delicate spices melting in the mouth.

Next on the table was the Turkish Chicken Pizza. It was a mildly spiced wood fired chicken pizza with less spices. It’s a hot seller here specially in winters.

The Basil Chilli Thai Fish was fresh, tender, crispy & soft and lovely minced with spices. It had chillies, salt, seasonings, pepper, chilli paste & soya served served with lots of onions, basil & bell peppers. The taste was out of the world. The fish used is Basa Fish here & I highly recommend it to all the fish lovers.

Then came the Jamaican Jerk Chicken– a roasted hot & smoky chicken cooked in Jerk style with brown sauce & served with rice. The recipe also had bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini & carrot in it with lots of Jamaican spices. It was perfectly cooked & had a nice taste. The rice was cooked perfectly too. The chicken was so soft & tender cooked in the lovely sauces. A must try! This dish is the most favoured here. So next time anybody who comes here should not leave the restaurant without tasting this recipe.

The Dal Makhani had a creamy & buttery taste. I found it a little salty & I would say I have had better Dal Makhani at other places.

Next, we ordered the Chef’s Special Awadhi Dum ka Murgh. The chicken was fleshy & hot with fresh thick gravy with fenugreek in it. I loved it!

The breads we tasted with the main course meal were Plain Roti, Pudina Parantha & Butter Naan. All of them were soft & nice.

For the desserts, I had the Spanish Churros with chocolate dips. The churros were made of flour, eggs & breakfast sugar & served with a dark & white chocolate dip. The churros were also coated with cinnamon and had a good & tempting taste.

The Bread & Butter pudding had fruity flavours along with a cinnamon taste. It was an okay dessert for me, not recommended.

The Mocha Brulee had a nice, mushy & creamy flavour of coffee. I loved the Coconut Caramel Custard. The Strawberry Pastry was good, tasty, soft & fluffy. Strawberry lovers will surely love it!
