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’.
I had heard a lot of things about this unique product by Palmer’s– The Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil with Vitamin E which helps to get rid of scars, stretch marks, dry skin, uneven skin tone & ageing worries because it has Cetesomate-E-Complex and it’s dermatologically tested. I was delighted when this product landed in my mailbox. So here goes my review for this.
Connnaught Place (CP) is mushrooming with exciting & new cafes being opened every other week. One such exciting place to chill & hang out with friends & family in CP is Cafe Public Connection. This place is jointly owned by Umang Tewari & Neeraj Kumar and was launched on 28th October, 2015. The menu is multi-cuisine offering mainly Lebanese, Continental, Indian & Italian. Cafe Public Connection derives its inspiration from the networking sources that connect people. What stands out here are the different private rooms with themes like Hollywood, Sports, Industrial, Retro & Political.
The California Boulevard is situated in Sector-29, Gurgaon, a high-end restaurant with oozing sexiness & class plus a lot of hot Hollywood romance. The restaurant offers a potpourri of food, fashion, music, glamour & lifestyle and 300 delicacies to eat of world cuisines across 30 countries. The decor is all taken & adapted from the American Hollywood & vintage fashion world with the wall of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Depp all in black like a picturesque bay, the surfers gallery with the California surfer boards, the golden lit Beverly Hills wall and waterfall along with a Harley Davidson motorcycle outside plus the unique San Francisco tram and the music from the yesteryear’s motion pictures.
They also have regal cinema set-up playing the vintage old classic movies famous from the black & white era like Sabrina, Camille, The Bishop’s Wife, It’s a Wonderful life etc. They even have names of Hollywood celebrities written in stars on the floor. The interiors are done in black, gold & red with a classy glass & wood staircase that we see in Hollywood movies. There are velvet sofas & soft Rexene sofas in camel colour. The restaurant has a total of 110 seating area.
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!
Healthy food & fine coffee that’s what I was looking for until found Farmout, a place in Galleria Market, Gurgaon. Farmout was started by 2 friends Arijit Ganguly & Amit Meena. You can call it a small cafe which smells heavenly of freshly baked cookies, coffee & sandwiches. It’s a reasonable & affordable place with a small live kitchen for quick service.
The place started with a few items but now has around 20 kinds of coffees all fine & smooth with the taste of Blue Tokai Beans. This one is certainly the best in taste. The freshly grounded beans are roasted every week for making the best & superior blend, a pure organic rich coffee blend with fresh aromas of fine & rich coffee beans.
Pizza lovers always used to dream that how a thin crust pizza with cheese filled inside would taste!! Dominos could reach the hearts of the customers and came up with the very delicious Pizza “Double Cheese Crunch Pizza”. Domino’s Pizza, India’s Pizza Delivery Expert and market leader in the organized pizza market works on a theory of gifting a taste full of freshness and aroma every season.
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.
Coffee Lovers- here’s a shout out for you! Newly opened ‘The Coffee Shop’ is a corner shop in the PVR market, Saket. With decent interiors, soothing music, polite, quick and courteous staff, the place for sure is one of the most recommended hang out places in the vicinity. This place is exactly where a coffee lover would love to be.
Economically priced, each sip of the amazing coffee is absolutely worth it! The menu has some good grub options as well. A special mention to the fact that there are some “Super Food” menu items to be tried for all my health conscious buddies.
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.
