Pizza Hut Maxx Cheese Launch…Cheesilicious and yummm!!!!

Food February 4, 2016

Pizza Hut has been one of my favourite outlets to satisfy my Pizza cravings so when I was invited to Pizza Hut’s Maxx Cheese Launch I was excited to try out the new crust and give you my views.

As I made my way to Pizza Hut’s Connaught Place outlet, the aroma of pizzas and garlic breads made my stomach grumble. We made ourselves comfortable on the first floor of the outlet which was reserved for us bloggers. On our arrival, we were served our drinks – Very Berry and Mocha Cold Coffee. Very Berry looked great with its pink berrylicious colour…As I sipped it, I loved the flavour. The Mocha Cold Coffee was good but nothing could beat the flavour of Very Berry. While we were waiting for the star dish, we were served some amazing appetizers.

Barcelos launches their second outlet in the most happening place of Delhi, Hauz Khas Village

Food January 31, 2016

Adding to the casual dining space in Hauz Khas Village, Barcelos has launched their second outlet in Delhi. The restaurant reflects a Portugal theme in the interiors and designs of the restaurant stretched in the area of 3600 square feet keeping its focus on modern and antique art. Narrating a story, every wall is different from the other depicting a unique concept of towns in Portugal. What can fascinate you the most is the 3D painting of the real streets of Portugal on a wall creating the most apt ambience of Portugal town in the eatery. The outlet typically has a two-table outdoor seating, a quick-dine space, big bar and a laid-back lounge, along with a separate smoking area and a visible kitchen. The warm colours make it well lit.

Restaurant Review: Lord of the Drinks, Connaught Place

Food January 29, 2016

What does one want in life? Great food, great drinks, great ambience that too at great prices! When we heard about Lord of the Drinks, it did give us an impression that it’s all about drinks but this place proved us wrong. It was also about some absolutely delicious food. Read on to know more!!

We couldn’t resist noticing the woody, stoney, edgy, rough interiors of the place. With bars, grills, red curtains, heavy metals, Iron Man statue, rope lights, the place had the perfect ambience. The restaurant was divided in different sections – 2 long corridors which could seat around 30 to 40 people, Personal Dining Reservation (PDR) for 15 people, main entrance where the DJ console is which can fit 50 people and 2 rooms for 15 to 20 people each. In total there is space for 300 pax spread across the inside dining space and the beautiful terrace. While the inside dining space gave a British theme inspired by Pirates of the Carribbean, the terrace had a nice colourful vibe-red, pink, blue and brown décor with different seating options to make everyone comfortable. Though, what I absolutely loved was the wall art made out of beer bottles which I saw while taking the stairs for the terrace.

Restaurant Review: En- The Japanese Restaurant, Mehrauli

Food January 26, 2016

Globe Trotting is a passion but when you get to do Globe Trotting for food, its fun! So, after a review of Peru food at Hyatt Regency Delhi, it was time for some authentic Japanese cuisine. The only taste I have had of Japanese cuisine is “Sushi” but when you get to try them at an Authentic Japanese restaurant, the experience is different.

As I entered En- The Japanese Restaurant located in Mehrauli, it made for a perfect dining place in a haveli set up. Beautiful and peaceful arena, bold red interiors, we looked for a space which had good lightning (obviously to get good pics).

Junglee Billee, a hub for the feisty woman!!

Food, Lifestyle January 23, 2016

Being a feisty woman is fun but when it comes to having fun with our group of female friends we have always been skeptical about our safety and security. Team ChicLifeByte is all set to bring some relief for all free spirited women of today. Junglee Billee, a stunning new concept boutique studio-in-Bar is now open at Greater Kailash, the heart of South Delhi. It’s India’s first stylized designer eatery and lifestyle destination dedicated to the deserving divas of modern times. Isn’t that a great concept?

What’s more? Can you believe a single man is not allowed to enter this place. Only if a man is accompanied by a woman, he gets an entry, otherwise he can’t enter. Kudos to girl power! I am just in love with the concept.

Dine where Priyanka Chopra has a meal- Aurum

Food January 18, 2016

What if we tell you that you can dine out where Priyanka Chopra goes to have a meal. No, this is not a Mumbai based restaurant, Yes, it’s a Bareilly based restaurant but that doesn’t mean you go will have to drive down to Bareilly when you can grab a bite at the same restaurant in Delhi itself! Yes, you read it right. Priyanka Chopra and her family have been quite regular to Aurum restaurant based out of Bareilly (Priyanka’s hometown) and good news for all PC fans….the place has finally opened up in Delhi after a wait of 6 long years!! Team ChicLifeByte recently made its stop there and was quite impressed with the great food, luxurious ambience and the hospitable management. We met Raj Shrestha Juneja, the director of the luxurious restaurant who took us around the place- a three storey building with a compact terrace which is perfect for winter evenings. The ground and first floor is for the restaurant and the third level is generally for private parties. We loved the gold and purple theme of the restaurant and the Indian fusion menu, though it offers Indian & continental as well. I am sure, like us you would also want to know more about Indian fusion which is ‘Indian food presented in western way’.

Mesé, for amazing Bags and jewellery

Fashion January 14, 2016

To me, accessorizing is the most fun part of an outfit. While I don’t think you can rely on accessories to make a dress that isn’t working work, I do love jewellery and handbags more than anything –Anna Kendrich

We can’t agree more so when we were invited by Mesé for a bloggers meet at Olive Bar & Kitchen, we couldn’t resist ourselves. Bags in various shapes & hues, we could see them all. Totes, Satchels, Evening Bags, Party Bags, Clutches, wallets, they had everything in colour pattern of reds, neutrals, purples, blues, bronzes, black & white. The best part was that each item was so different from the other. I was almost in love with the products and was making a list items I wanna purchase once I reach home. Oh! How can I not mention the amazing affects on the bags – Basket Weave, Districh, Studs, Laser Cuts etc which made the bags look great!

Shopping on Trivenisarees.com

Fashion January 11, 2016

Shopping for sarees online wasn’t what I had done before. Even when I got married I did my majority shopping online due to lack of time which primarily consisted of clutches, shoes, honeymoon dresses etc but could not risk buying my trousseau online. I recently stumbled upon trivenisarees.com, an E-commerce portal for amazing ethnic shopping. Set up in 2011, the website is a one-stop solution for a wide range of ethnic collection – salwar suits, lehenga cholis, lehenga sarees, kurtis, jewellery, cotton & silk sarees. Triveni is actually a 30 year old saree manufacturer based out of Surat, India and now offers a wide variety of ethnic wear and lives upto its heritage.

Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken

Food January 9, 2016

Barcelos made quite a buzz when it entered the Indian market. Team ChicLifeByte did tell you about its black, red & white burger and also their boozy shakes. We were recently invited for a tasting session of the flame grilled chicken, one of their core product. Initially, I thought this was a new product but on reaching the restaurant located in the middle lane of Khan Market, I read the menu and realized that it’s already a part of the menu.
