Crudo Juicery: This is where I found my perfect thirst quencher!

Food July 11, 2016

It’s the era of health and fitness, and we don’t really want to have aerated drinks, but even if we say goodbye to them, do we really have options? Yes, we do have various drinks available in tetra packs and bottles but most of them are loaded with extra sugar and preservatives, Do we really want to consume them? Then the best option is fruit juices available at various stalls but the big question us how hygienic are those?

I recently found my alternative at Crudo Juicery in Galleria Market, Gurgaon which opened just 4 weeks back by Amit Sahni, a health & fitness enthusiast in his mid 30’s who is back after 18 years from Australia. He comes from the hospitality industry and has always been a foodie. To find the right alternative in India, he took countless trips to numerous big and small food joint in and around Gurgaon, all in vain. He finally decided to nurture his dream- a quest to find “healthy” delicious & mouth-wateringly scrumptious food. And hence was born Crudo Juicery.

Open it
Push the marble
Feel that fizz
And Voila
You’re ready to Bunta!

Sounds familiar? A drink which makes you nostalgic about your childhood memories, the carefree days spent playing chupan chupai or Ludo with your friends!

Now, I am gonna tell you about a bar which makes you nostalgic about your carefree and happy school days when we used to going to the nearest general store and could fondly ask for kanche vaali bottle…yes, those were the days!! I felt that reminiscence when I entered Bunta Bar, located at downtown Dilli, Janpath, Bunta Bar effortlessly transforms itself from day to night. As I entered I saw Bunta bottles all over the place from the entry to the celing…yes everywhere! In total, there were 4500 bunta bottles which were made-to-order for this place! A big branding of Bunta Bar with a painted peacock around it caught our attention as we made our way! Differential seating, colourful couches, backrest and high seating chairs! A DJ console out a truck…wow…that was ultimate!

Restaurant Review: Junkyard Cafe, Rajouri Garden

Food July 5, 2016

This time we went out to the newest outlet of Junkyard Cafe, located in the popular Rajouri Garden market. In line with their theme of using junk items stylistically, Umang Tewari and team have used unconventional items to set up the decor. Some of the items that we saw were: drums being used for the bar counter and as pillars, old wines bottles being used as lighting, and old milk containers, shock absorbers, and other spare parts being used as decorating items. Other interesting items we noticed were: part of an old ambassadors’ body hung up next to the bar counter; and a Mona Lisa portrait made entirely out of junk.

Food July 4, 2016

A café based on Bombay Irani theme where you can taste the Irani & Parsi delicacies along with Bombay Street Food, SodaBottleOpenerWala finally makes it way to DLF Mall Of India in Noida.

This was my first rendezvous with SodaBottleOpenerWala (SBOW) and I was impressed. It is a unique concept by AD Singh and the Olive group under the able guidance of Mohit Balanchandran (Brand head & cuisine director of SBOW) and is a tribute to the dying legacy of a Bombay Irani café brought alive in fun, quirky and contemporary avatar. The head chef is Chef Kulbeer from Mumbai aided by Chef Manager Anahita Dhondy who has a passion for bakery and confectionary.

World Cuisine, Absolutely Authentic and Big On Taste at Foozy!

Food June 28, 2016

TGIF!!! Thank God It’s Friday. My office team usually skips home lunch and orders from outside on fridays, so we started to look out for food delivery joints that we had not tried before. We came across this one on Zomato- named FOOZY that delivers in Gurgaon alone for now and had great reviews so we decided to order from this place last Friday. We are a team of five and all of us absolutely love our food.

Browsing through the website, we got to know that FOOZY is a travel food brand that makes people travel the world with their taste buds. They also have a weekly rotating menu, which inculcates regional and international delicacies.

Bronies: A nostalgic location!

Food June 27, 2016

More than the food, it’s the nostalgia that takes you to the one place again and again! And one such place which is etched in my memory is Nirula’s Defence Colony…this used to be one favourite joint of mine and has given me fond memories…from amazing pizzas to Hot Chocolate Fudge…I felt really bad when I got to know it closed down! Though, I could not recall the last time I went there but its just that the memories we associate with certain places is what keeps you going! Remember the time when Orkut decided to shut operations? Yes, I went through a similar feeling!

Recently, I got to know about Bronies Gastropub. No, Bronies is not related to Nirula’s but it’s the location that that got me excited! Yes, “1 Defence Colony flyover market” has a new name. I wasn’t sure this place will be able to give me the same happiness that Nirula’s used to give me. But I was in to try out the place…afterall there is something called as loyalty! It not the restaurant, atleast the location 😉
