Desi Vibes, Sector 18, Noida

The Good Old Desi Vibes

 
If you're searching for a place to have a meal with your family, then your search has ended. This place offers you the good old Desi vibes, the minute you set foot into it. Although, you may expect a waiting time of at least 20 minutes but the food and the ambience makes up for the extra time.
 
 
AMBIENCE
 
Dim lit, wooden furniture and mud walls with cycles, cute puppets hung on it. Reminds you of something?
 
Mud Walls!

Puppets!
Think. Think.
 
A village Ambience. Full marks for the setup. It feels like you have travelled back in time to a village to have some Desi food. I was already in love with the place.
 
Interiors!

 
 
FOOD
 
We were greeted with a Welcome drink in a Kulhad. Man, it was refreshing. And they kept on refilling the drink which was surprising.
 
Welcome Drink!
Starters -
 
Dahi ke Kebab - One of the famous starters. Not everyone cooks it well. The Kebabs were very soft but a little too sweet. Tasted above average.
 
Dahi ke Kebab!

Desi Vibes ka Khas Tandoori Chaap - It was not so khas. Soft but lacked the spices. Tasted just fine. Not recommended!
 
Not so khas Chaap!
 
Bharawan Khumb - Mushrooms stuffed with cheese and grilled in the tandoor. This was better than the above starters.
 
Mushrooms!
 
Paneer Galaouti - Another kebab in the menu. This time prepared with cottage cheese. It was suppose to be the softest kebabs, but turned out to be harder than even the Dahi ke Kebab. It was a little hard to swallow. Not recommended!
 
Not so Soft!
Main Course -
 
The plates were set and then came a big bucket filled with a variety of pickles. 7 to be exact. Right from Mango to Lemon, they had it all. Totally in love with the pickles!
 
Pickles!

DV ki Khas Dal Makhani - The classic thick Dal Makhani gravy layered with cream and butter. It was a delight indeed!
 
Chaap Do Pyaaza - Soyabean chaap prepared in onion and tomato gravy. Garnished with coriander and ginger. This dish was worth trying. The rich taste makes you feel good.
 
Main Course!
 
Dessert -
 
Gulab Jamun - The classic gulab jamun to end your heavy meal.
 
Gulab Jamun!
 
Moong Dal Halwa - My favorite Dessert amongst all! This one was so well prepared that I had another bowl of it. After that it was time to move my hands on my stomach (with a big smile on my face).
 
Moong Dal Halwa!
 
Also, after we were done with our meal then they put a cute container in front of us. It had Desi Pan and sauf (mouth freshener). And that was the end of a heavy meal.
 
Mouth Freshener!
 
SERVICE 
 
The service was so prompt that at one instance we were not even done with the dish and they wanted to take the plate away (Just Kidding). The staff was very cordial and they made sure that we had a good time and come back again.
 
OVERALL
 
This is the place to try for a family Lunch/ Dinner. No further questions!

An Adventure of a Lifetime Do you feel too lazy to go to the mountains to do Rock Climbing? Or travel far to do Zip Lining? Or Sky Cycling? (Wait WHAT?) Well, I have found the perfect Treasure zone for all the Adventure seekers. And that too, all the awesome activities under one roof. Amazing, isn't it? Welcome! It's time to take a break from your hectic life, long working hours and recharge yourself with some adventure and fun filled activities and also get in touch with your Daredevil side. I visited this Adventure park recently. Set up in  Sector 68, Gurgaon, it can be easily spotted on the main road. You enter the place and you see someone riding a bicycle on a rope on your left. And after a minute you see another one doing zip lining. That was the moment when you realize that your destination has arrived. It's huge setup with a covered shed in the middle to rejuvenate yourself. And it's surrounded by various activities to get your

The Weekend Wine & More, Noida

  Weekend or not, Date is Sorted! Are you a fan of luxurious interiors, perfect lighting and fine dining? Then you can continue reading this blog. If not, still give it a read and let me know if you were convinced later. Garden Galleria Mall is loaded with Clubs, lounge, Microbreweries, restaurants and what not. But the highlight for this outlet is their visually appealing interiors and the fine dining touch is top notch.  The place is so huge that it will take you a couple of minutes to select where you want to sit (too many options to choose from). The music and live DJ complemented it as well. They have super cozy seating in one corner for your date and long sofas and comfortable chairs for partying with friends or family. The pictures will do more justice to it (see below).  Now that I've shared how much i loved the ambience, let's hope on to the drinks and food section. Drinks - The Mocktails menu was quite small so i requested the bartender to make us one of their inhous

Welcome to the Frenzone!

FRENZONE (IT'S A TRAP) FrenZoneD! Another café setup just at the start of the famous "Satya Niketan" lane. The name of the outlet can repel you but the ambience wouldn't. It's a small café which can cater to around 30-35 people at a time. A well lit place with paintings on the right side and beautiful design on the left. They also have a projector screen for your entertainment while you are waiting for your friends (I did).  DRINKS We started it off with Shakes and Mock tails: Red Velvet Cake Shake - Thick Shake with Red velvet crumbs coming in your mouth. A delight for Red Velvet lovers. Red Velvet Virgin Mojito - Very few manage to mess this basic drink. Thankfully, they didn't. The taste was strong with fresh leaves and lemon on the top. Mr. Virgin Mojito! Italian Smooch - The name was exciting (Not for friend zoned people). This had ginger syrup mixed with Coke and Lemon. I liked it. Ms. Italian Smoo
