Khan market is in the heart of Delhi, very close to India Gate and is one of the greenest pockets of the city. We just got an opportunity to visit this place few days back and we had heard of many new restaurants opened up recently there and were little confused where to go. When we started searching a place to sit and eat, “The Chatter House” attracted us from the name itself. The way it was written outside, it fascinated us to go and try it once. We entered inside at around 7:30 in the evening and were welcomed by their pleasant staff. The first impression was quite good and we decided to sit there only. Very few people were around and the environment was flooded by pleasant lights and our favourite music. The visuals around were just amazing to believe. Two floors with around 40 seats each seemed to be really a great capacity. The interiors and the way everything was placed made us feel special. Red coloured bricks with different designs and light sources were drafting the wall beautifully. Walls were also having the posters of great music bands like Beatles and scripted by all time favourite songs and their chords. The Chatter House is a perfect getaway from the mundane flow of life, bringing alive the very essence of the pub culture made famous by the typical pubs of Europe. It made us sense an out of the box idea behind making The Chatter House as the heart of Khan Market in true sense.
Team ChicLifeByte did tell you about the launch of Junglee Billee at the famous M block market of Greater Kailash, Delhi. Yes, the same place which boasts of woman power! Afterall with Nida Mahmood’s design aesthetic, Chef Saby’s incredible food concepts and Amit Aggarwal’s mind, the place is already a sure shot hit.
My love for Chinese cuisine has taken me to places….from 5 star hotels to restaurants to foodcourts to street food! This time we got the opportunity of having some mouth watering Chinese cuisine sitting at home. Yes, that’s what Wokstar offers us. I am sure you can recall the name. It’s a popular place at Epicuria, Nehru Place and they have also started home delivery!
We went through the elaborate menu on www.wokstar.in which comprised of options from Salads, Soups, Starters, Momos, Asian Kathi Rolls, Rice, Noodles and Mains…the menu also had sections for Chef’s Specials, Meal Combos and Drinks. The menu was well presented and had indications of green and red for vegetarian and non vegetarian respectively. What we specifically liked was the option for additional sauces indicating the level of spices- Hong Kong and Black Pepper indicated by a single chilli, Sichuan and Hunan indicated by double chilli and Wok Chilli and Hot Garlic indicated by triple chilli!
Cafe Hawkers in Connaught Place is situated in a cosy, comfortable set up, a very colourful, funky & lively one indeed. Since hawkers are a worldwide famous concept and gather foodies on road with their specialties, Cafe Hawkers is easily accessible and is a very cutely designed paradise formatted into a small and cosy cafe.
The restaurant is very simple & cute actually the cutest I have come across. It is full of fun elements with colourful furniture, wooden carts, tables & cushions and made livelier with funky walls which had drawings of burger van, cotton candy cart and French fries on wheels. It’s a lovely, happy & merry place owned by Kanchan & Shruti Kapoor, coming from the legendary group of Gola Sizzlers.
Talli Singh, located in Sector 29, Gurgaon, the name itself seemed inviting to me is a fun bar mixed with a speakeasy concept where everyone could just come and leave their pretensions outside the door.

Whatever be the occasion – a romantic dinner, a celebration, Kid’s Birthday Party, or a corporate event, what people remember for sure is FOOD! While everyone in the family has different preferences and choices, where most of us get stuck is how do we manage getting multiple dishes from multiple places! Recently, Team ChicLifeByte got to know about FoodCloud, an online portal that connects foodies with home chefs and caterers across Delhi-NCR. What we loved was that we had the option of choosing between 120+ chefs, 3000+ dishes and 10,000+ meals…wow! Isn’t that amazing??? It is the best place for all of us to find and order delicious home-cooked food made with love!
