Spice@Shalimar Bagh

Chicken Lovers@Eat and Treat

                                             

                                                           Location of Eat N Treat

As the name suggests, this place is definitely a treat for people who love to eat. The place is in Shalimar Bagh  in CC Block names "EAT AND TREAT". The shop is not the one with fancy lights or anything that attracts our eyes. Their main services are for the "take away's" only but they also have dine-in services. The food is a mixture of spices and finger-licking chicken.

We ordered for Afghani Chicken, Chicken Lolly-Pop and Chicken Tikka for starters and Tawa Chicken for the main course.The Afghani Chicken we ordered for was not very appealing to eyes but when tasted, it is a whole another story. The chicken tasted incredibly good  and was tender.

Chicken Lolly-Pop

The Chicken Lolly-Pop was quite a mix, as it tasted like any other lolly-pop but looked very different. Chutney provided with the lolly-pop was very tasty, though I think that the dish as whole could be seasoned more sophistically. Chicken Tikka and Tawa Chicken were the average dishes, as the chicken had such little pieces of bones, it was quite a task to eat it.

The place is good to just stop-by when you have hunger pangs and you are in a hurry, because if you dine-in the service is quite slow. The average meal costs Rs400-Rs600 for two.

My ratings are:
Food- ***1/2 (3.5 stars)
Service- **1/2 (2.5 stars)

Italian Food@Vasant kunj (Delhi)


Eating @The Underdoggs

                                                       Location of the Underdoggs

This one is for those who love Italian cuisine. Previous week while roaming with my friends in the malls of Vasant Kunj we happened to go to a bar that I have been hearing for quite a time THE UNDERDOGGS. The ambiance of the cafe is quite good. You definitely feel while entering the place that the interior is well planned and suited for youth culture and at the same time it is  a treat to sports fans as the cafe has more than 40 HD screens. It also has many activities within the place only...like it does provide with Board Games, Table Tennis, Foosball, Billiards and many more. And if you are lucky enough to get the corner seats its like an icing on the cake because the view is amazing from there. But the main thing is that whether its food was also able to match the standards as of its ambiance. And if the food is worth the money.


Quattro Stagioni Chicken Pizza
Chicken Burger

We tried many of their special dishes like-Chilly Chicken, Chicken Kabaddi and Chicken Burger for starters and Quattro Stagioni Chicken Pizza, Spicy Piri Piri Pizza, Penne Ala Chikonara Pasta and Half Chicken Jack Daniels Sizzler for the main course.For starters I felt the Chicken Burger was the best as the bun felt quite soft and the chicken patty was also gooey, both together gave a melting experience in the mouth. The Chicken Kabaddi was also a nice one to eat. It was chicken on a stick which was well seasoned and the chuttney with the Kabaddi  added a tangy flavour to it. But, The Chilly Chicken did not have the value for the  money as there was no "twist" to it. Coming to the main course Penne Ala Chikonara was a bit of a disappointment as the chicken had a bitter taste and moreover pasta was also not well baked. The Half Chicken Jack Daniels Sizzler was also not competent enough to satiate my taste buds as it had more leaves and herbs than the meat and moreover the Whiskey did not add any flavor to the dish. The Quattro Stagioni Chicken Pizza justified its name well as the pizza base was divided in 4 (Quattro) parts, with each part having
different type of meat on it. The dist was a favorite amongst the friends as it provided the taste as well as the variety in one dish. The Spicy Piri Piri Pizza is the good option for the vegetarians to have because of the very few vegetarian dishes listed in the menu.All and all its a good place to hang out with friends who can shell out Rs5000-Rs8000.              
My ratings to Underdoggs:-
Food-***1/2 (3.5 stars)

Street Food @NSP-Delhi

Eating @ billu hut


Billu Hut is a place in NSP (Netaji Subhash Place) for ready to eat food which also does not effect our pockets.The main thing which I liked about this place was not its food but was the way of their service.We just have to sit in the car and honk in front of their shop and they will immediately come to take our order.Their service is also quick and waiters are also friendly.We ordered for White Sauce Pasta,Double cheese Maggi,Chilly shedded potatoes and a Veg Burger.I found White sauce Pasta best among the all as it was well seasoned and the texture of the sauce was also quite good...the sauce used had the right tanginess but was on more acidic side.Cheese Maggi was also fine but it was nothing like new...it was normal...but they offer quite a lot of varieties over there...so we picked for the one that i thought would be different and tasty...but it was just okay...you can also make it at your home too...rest chilly shedded potatoes and veg burger were a bit disappointment as chilly shedded potatoes were burnt and were also not seasoned at all and the burger by its appearance itself not seems tasty and so it felt in the mouth.
My ratings for billu hut are-
Food:*** (3 stars)
Service:**** (4 stars)
Over all its a nice place to hangout!
