Eatout Delhi
Eatout Delhi
Italian
Many came and many went. But who could have guessed that a small stand-alone res
taurant in a lane in East of Kailash visited by college students would become a
legend in itself. Ritu Dalmia's Diva may do a mean Lamb Chop but the prize for t
he best Italian in Delhi must go to 'The Big Chill Cafe'.
With branches now in Kailash Colony, Khan Market, Select City Walk and Gurgaon,
the restaurant has climbed the ladder of success solely on its own merit, having
consistently dished out fantastic food. Ask any young Delhiite and they will ha
ve their favourite Big Chill dish to suggest. The decor is interesting with post
ers of movies (classics as well as recent hits). Call ahead to reserve as they u
sually have a crowd waiting.
Must-haves: Fusilli Chicken Piri Piri, Penne with Bacon, Grilled Prawns with Pir
i Piri sauce, Spaghetti with Chicken in red wine sauce, Minestrone Soup, Belgian
Chocolate Shake. Their deserts are to die for. Choose from Mud Cake, Blueberry
Cheesecake, Hot Molten Lava Cake and more.
Meal for 2: Rs 1,200

Chinese
Though you have options like 'The Chinese' and 'Mainland China' that serve authe
ntic Chinese food (read bland for the Indian palate), if you prefer the Indianis
ed version, drop in to Chungwa. Situated in Greater Kailash 2 M-block market, th
is restaurant took over the legend's mantle with the downfall of the earlier leg
end Fujia at Malcha Marg.
Chungwa has great food for prices that are not exorbitant and dishes out the mos
t delectable Golden Fried Jumbo Prawns you would have ever had! Sit on the groun
d floor for a quiet evening or on the first floor, that has more of a club atmos
phere.
Must-haves: Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Shredded Lamb in Hot Garlic Sauce, Spri
ng Rolls, Golden Fried Jumbo Prawns and American Chopsuey.
Meal for 2: Rs 700

Oriental
When you feel like eclectic oriental food but can't decide between Japanese, Ind
onesian, Malaysian, Thai, Korean or Vietnamese, head straight to the Yum Yum Tre
e at New Friends Colony. A fairly new setup, the restaurant boasts the only Sush
i conveyor belt in Delhi. But that is not the only reason you should head here.
Though the a la carte menu is expensive, they have a great deal called 'Table on
Tuesdays' valid on Tuesdays. The deal includes unlimited conveyor belt (which u
sually has 3-4 options in sushi, a salad, a chicken dish and dessert), and their
fixed menu from which you can pick a four-course dinner. They also throw in unl
imited Tiger beer in the deal. And priced at Rs 599 + tax, this is a great deal.
The Yum Yum Tree may not be a Delhi Belly Legend yet but it's unique proposition
convinces us that this is a place you must visit.
Must-haves: Even if you are not a Sushi person, give it a shot here. Their sushi
s are yummy. Also try their Malaysian curries.
Meal for 2: Rs 700 (For the lunch deal)

Dessert
Last but not the least, if you have a sweet tooth and are a chocolate fan, there
is no place in the country that can compete with Delhi's own Hot Chocolate Fudg
e from Nirula's. Most of us who have grown up in Delhi have seen the rise and fa
ll of Nirula's but the one thing that keeps it afloat and on our speed dial list
is their 'HCF'.
Three scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with the best chocolate sauce you've ev
er tasted and cashew nuts -- at Rs 120, it's money well spent.
