NAWABI FOOD FESTIVAL 

Ambience!

You must have been to Ardor 2.1 for partying or a get together on their 2nd floor, but they also have Fine dining at their 1st floor. This time it was the Nawabi Food Festival that attracted me to the outlet. The décor tries to match with the Nawabi look. I personally liked the face swiping on the posters (specially Mr. Bean). It's a well spread area with seating enough for 30-35 people.


Seating!
Dabang Posters!
 
  • FOOD
One thing common in their Menu was that every item had a Nawabi prefix to it.
 
DRINKS 
  • Nawabi Thandai - Welcome drink served. Loved the Thandai (with Rose petal placed on it).
Thandai!
  • Nawabi Aam Panna - Aam Panna wasn't tangy enough. Maybe it was because of the strawberries added to it.
Aam Panna!
  • Seb Santra Usba Khass - This was one Hatke drink which I liked. Tanginess, sweetness, thickness - everything could be felt in this one.
Very khass Drink!
  • Paan Gul - It's a no brain teaser that it had Paan flavor to it. Served with Ice cream on top, it was rather drinkable. But not the best!
Paan wali Drink!
 
STARTERS
  • Mutton Galouti Kebab - Looked very attractive, but turned out to be a disappointment. Tasted just average. Not the softest Galouti kebab I've had.
Not so soft Galouti Kebab!
  • Paneer Tikka Tilla - The usual soft paneer tikka. No description required.
Paneer Tikka!
  • Tandoori Mushroom - Stuffed mushrooms but a little hard to chew. Didn't like it at all.
Tandoori Mushrooms!
 
MAIN COURSE
  • Dal Tadka - My only question, who adds dry fruits and pomegranate to Dal? I didn't like the presentation or the taste. Personally, I'll not recommend this to anyone.
 
Weird Dal!
  • Dal Shahi Makhmali - My favorite Dal Makhni was still better than the former one. Thick gravy is all I need in a Dal Makhni and I got that. 
 Dal Makhni!
  • Nargisi Kofta - Fried Eggs prepared with spicy gravy. Liked this dish.
Nargisi Kofta!
  • Tawa Subzi Takatak - Kind of a Veg Korma - all sorts of veggies with dry fruits used as a dressing. Tasted quite average.
Sabzi Takatak!
  • Nawabi Sabz Pulao - Again, dry fruits all over the Pulao. I guess Nawabs liked dry fruits in every dish. Not recommended! 
 
 
DESSERT
 
After all the Nawabi food, I could manage only one dessert.
  • Shahi Tukda - Thankfully, it tasted amazing. Shahi tukda never lets you down.
Shahi Tukda!
  • SERVICE
The staff was very polite and the service was rather quick. Preparing our meal on time and serving it nicely. Satisfied with the Service team.
 
  • OVERALL
A Nawabi Food Festival where you get plenty of variety in their menu. But choose your options wisely is all I can say!

Local Noida

Lo-kal chale ya parso? Summers are here, and we are all set to review yet another cool outlet in Noida. If you have been to GIP, DLF Mall, WOW, then this may not be a new place for you to explore. After you have entered Garden Galleria Mall parking then you can easily spot Local in front of you. One big advantage is the big parking, and the placement of the outlet. We have a lot of good food options to try here, but this one sets apart in its own unique way.   The property is huge in space and covers all kind of gatherings you can plan with friends, family, colleagues, or even a Date. The bar is in the center of the space and the seating is spread across ground and first floor. The ambience is very picturesque and lighting is visually appealing. I went in the day but you can expect a visually lit view in the evening. The service is good and the waiting time is not that high. Also, the staff is very cordial and helpful in picking the right dishes.  Now that you have got a ...

The Phi Phi Way!

Image
 Straight from the Mountains to Phi Phi.  Phi Phi! Planning a trip takes a lot of time, right? Hotels. Flights. Leaves from office. (Most Important one) Itinerary. Too much to Do! So, in the spirit of the moment, we just booked the Flight tickets randomly. And that’s how the First International Trip was planned! Arrival at the Airport! After 4 hours of flying and 2 hours in the Visa-on arrival line, we entered the Bangkok City. It was like a breath of fresh air! And the scene outside the airport was similar to a Fast and Furious scene. The taxi stand filled with Pink, Orange, Green and Yellow taxis, all waiting to block the road and start drifting. Pingu was more tired than us! But we wanted to get a feel of the public transport, so we opted for the Airport metro followed by bus to reach our Hotel. There we were, enjoying the beauty around us, the cloud formations, the big Build...

TIME MACHINE!

Image
Time to Travel Back with this Time Machine! I was invited for a tasting session before the launch of this beauty - Time Machine, The Time Traveller's Pub in Noida. This has officially been launched on 15th November.  Before we get to the food, let me adore the beauty of the ambience. AMBIENCE It feels like you have entered a movie scene the minute you step in to the place. A royal look spread all over the place. With the bar right next to the entrance, it is one of the biggest pubs that exist in Noida till date. If you start walking on your right then you'll notice a separate area that can be used for private parties. In the front, they also offer an outdoor seating that is too pretty to ignore. The seating arrangement is so beautifully arranged giving you all the space you need. Ambience! Seating! Talking about the Décor now, a big heads up for the creativity. I was in awe when I first look...
